Park Avenue Confectionary

This place is fantastic!!! I am from out of town (Bergen County, New Jersey) and was looking for something fun and different to do for a bachelorette party in the area.
The bride is a huge chocolate fan, and I stumbled upon their web page — the perfect activity suitable for all ages (one of our bridesmaids is under age).
The owners are extremely accommodating! They opened up their kitchen to us and prepared our favorite melted chocolate — dark, milk and white and had a variety of fantastic things to dip in them — rice krispies treats, nuts, fruit!, pretzels, oreos, cookies… so many wonderful things! Our chocolate dishes were refilled several times and it melted quickly — so everything was ready to go when we left (no mess!).
We each left with what seemed like a gallon bag full of chocolates! All for 8.95 each!
This was the best thing we did through our bachelorette weekend — and everyone enjoyed it immensely — mother and mother-​in-​law of the bride, the bride herself, and all of her bridesmaids!
Recommend for all ages. A true pleasure. Would certainly consider doing this again, even when just visiting. A lot of fun, laughs, and owners were AMAZING.

I have to admit that I do have quite a sweet tooth for chocolates, especially the homemade chocolates.
While I was in Mechanicville very recently, I decided to check out Park Avenue Confectionary to pick up a box of gourmet truffles for MOI– I heart truffles! I deserve a nice treat every now and then.
This little chocolate and confectionary shop stocks homemade chocolates and candies including chocolate bars (white, milk chocolate, dark, etc), lollipops, special themes (molded chocolates), bagged chocolate covered candies, chocolate covered pretzels, dgift boxes, and baskets. They also carry sugar free varieties too. The prices here are very fair: $ 9.95/lb for chocolates and $ 14.95/lb for truffles. I’ve been to other chocolate shops near my home, some of which charge almost double.
The owner was very accomodating in helping me to customize and choose an assortment of truffles (24 pieces/​12 oz box). There were around 20 choices of truffles to choose from, and I was pointing out what I wanted from outside the glass case. This was like choosing what kinds of donuts I wanted for an assortment (give me one glazed, two jelly, three cruellers, etc), you get the idea. The total came out to just under $ 14 with tax.
I brought the box of truffles into work for ME to indulge on while I was crunching numbers and calculations at my desk (my coworkers are on their New Year’s diet, hehe). Each of the truffles tasted very fresh and had a nice hard shell outside with creamy and rich ganache inside. The hazelnut was my favorite. The truffles went well with my daily cup of Starbucks Coffee. It took me the whole week to finish the box, munching on a few pieces each day. What a sweet week!
