A really cool place to go in the area! They have a wide variety of chocolates and plenty of different treats! Staff was super friendly. The parking is out front and on some side entrances. The view from the area is beautiful too! Go check them out!

Wow!! This place is such a gem! The outside is quarky and fun while the inside is full of the most delicious candy you will ever smell and taste in your life!!! Haha seriously! Best chocolates I've ever had. Everything is made there. The customer service is amazing! We definitely plan on going back! My favorite was the milk chocolate carmel's or the toffee bark.

Cute candy shoppe just off the road. Great quality chocolates and caramels. Fairly reasonably priced, truffles are pretty large. Staff was very friendly, it can get a little crowded since it's a small building. Would recommend!

Don’t pass by this little gem without stopping! Hand made chocolates that are some of the best I have ever had. Everything is delicious and expertly made. They have sugar free options that are the best I have ever tasted. My big treat are the triple dipped dark chocolate malted milk balls. They also have air candy, aka fairy food, sponge candy, sea foam, and it is absolutely perfect! They have a lot of fun treats too. It’s worth a stop every time!

Stopped in on the recommendation of a friend. Found the store had lots of delicious candies and fudge for sale. Unfortunately I didn't take any photos inside. I purchased some of their salted caramels, creamy chocolate mints, chocolate covered orange peel, and fudge. Haven't tried it all yet, but would go back in a heartbeat the next time I'm in Two Harbors.

I had the best caramel apple I’ve ever eaten in my life. The caramel was the perfect soft scrumptious kind. Not too sweet, not too sticky. Worth the stop.

Delicious! Our family is a returning customer to this establishment. The candy is mouth watering good! The caramels are a quick sweet to satisfy anyone. The chocolate is amazing and is a must try. I highly recommend Great! Lakes Candy Kitchen.

Was doing a trip up the North Shore and decided to stop in here. The kids loved the outdoor area was the various games and painted animals. Inside, we bought some caramel and turtles (pecans, caramel clusters). OMG, those were so worth it. For a little box of turtles it's like $10 which normally I wouldn't get but yeah, worth the $10. The caramel was soft and flavorful. Not like that hard stuff that feels like it pull your teeth out. Well worth the stop.

Gluten free/celiac friendly! This little store is pretty cool and definitely worth the stop. I tried the individual wrapped caramels and the creme de menthe fudge. Tasty place that tries to control entry for COVID, but tourists can be kind of jerky and not pay attention to signage. 8 people in the store at a time currently.

Would definitely recommend bringing the family to this little sweet spot 😉The staff were super awesome and really sweet, they let us take a stroll through their little kitchen which was awesome! The kids loved it! They had a wide variety of all kinds of sweet goodies! We LOVED LOVED LOVED their sweet cream caramels!!! Heaven!!!!! The chocolate covered ones were delicious as well! The lemon bark was bark-tactic!! They had the most awesome little space for kids to run around and bear hunt! The kids probably ran through it 50 times and wanted to go back for more fun!!! Glad we made the little drive out to this awesome place!

So cute!! If you’re a tourist in the area you have to stop by. Wonderful candy and great service. I recommend the turtle pecans! Come here every year and the selection is always bigger.

Soooo good! Everything I tried was fantastic: fudge, caramels, turtles, bear claws, Almond Joy-type candies, peanut butter meltaways. I went there THREE times during my five-day vacation. Thank goodness it's 3.5 hours from my home!Very cute outside area with lots of seating, hammocks, a "bear trail", and more.

Great little candy store off on the scenic drive. Most of their candy is made on site.

Wow! Homemade ice cream bars on a stick worth the short drive or bike ride along the North Shore to Knife River. However, after cruising their fresh chocolate, fudge, and other goodies in the display case you will want to move here at Knife River’s mouth on Lake Superior. Made in their kitchen here in the town of Knife River, the chocolate essence lingers in your happy place.The service and people behind the counter helpful and salubrious advice about how to pack away your selection for later.They have created a great outside area with picnic tables and chairs that overlook the river and Lake Superior in addition to the large front porch. This is a destination for superb one of a kind chocolate; stay for the summer breeze off The Lake.

This is the real deal - all hand made by 4th generation candy makers who still use a copper kettle and stay up late dipping chocolates. Everything is fresh and absolutely stunning.Kids will love the bear trail, hammocks, and shady areas to relax by the store. It’s the perfect stop along the North Shore.I come here every summer to get their “ships rope” and “birch logs”.

Awesome little gem along the beautiful Northland Shore, passed by many times going to Two Harbors, never knowing what I was missing. Next time you're headed that direction definitely take the scenic route and stop in.

A must stop on the North Shore! My favorites have changed over the years. The caramel apples are amazing but the caramel marshmallows are now on the top!

Don't miss this stop off the scenic highway! This candy is delicious and the women who work here are so friendly and helpful! It was such a wonderful little stop for us!

This has got to be the best candy I have ever tried in my life. I can’t wait to get some for my parents who are in their 90s but have a real sweet tooth. My mother back in Tulsa Oklahoma inherited Family recipes of candy from her great grandmother that she brought with her from Germany when she immigrated. My mother was fairly famous for her divinity and peanut brittle. So she can really appreciate well made Candy. Try buying a nibbler box and see what you like. That’s exactly what I’m going to do for them.

Great little hidden oasis of sugary delight on the scenic drive between Duluth and Two Harbors. 3rd generation candy makers produce yummy, melt in your mouth treats like my son's favorite Hot Air (best decribed as hardened cotton candy dipped in chocolate)!
