Phillips Candy House

Thanks to Maryann at Phillips for her generous donation of a gift cert. Because of the generosity of donors like you
fundraiser for 2016 was a huge success. Thank You!

What’s not to love about Phillips’s Candy House chocolates!!! At Christmas I bought their yummy chocolate turtles. They come in dark and milk chocolate with almonds, cashews and walnuts. Lots of my friends were lucky recipients of them and raved. I have recently relocated yo Dorchester after30 years of living in New York City. Phillips has been around forever. Today I had a delightful conversation with Carol who works there and recommended the best selection for my 94 year old mom who at this age the doctor said can eat whatever she wants. Yum! Thx for being there PCH.

Philip is a place from my childhood. And while the traditional regular chocolate remain good, the sugar free chocolate left to be desired. Could have been better but I know that sugar free is not what they specialize in.
Otherwise Philips is still a great place for regular chocolate’s as my daughter loves the turtles, peanut butter cups & milk chocolate hash.

Our hotel gave us a coupon for a free piece of fudge so me and my fiancée decided to check the out. They are pretty well priced and the chocolate is amazing.

The salted milk chocolate cashew turtles alone are worth five stars, but there’s so much more to love and the service is always nice. Phillips is an institution. Long live Phillips Candy House!

Love this place. We have been going here since I was a kid. All the Easter basket candy has been from Phillips. The people who work here could not be more helpful and pleasant.

When I’m in Boston, this is one of my favorite places to stop. Large selection of chocolates, solid, fruits, nuts, boxed candies, and more. Everything is really fresh and delicious.
I recommend the fruit peels (either orange or lemon) and the pineapple. They all come covered in your choice of milk or dark chocolate.

Delicious assortments, however I do have a problem with a product priding itself as handmade, while having so many additives, artificial ingredients and preservatives. I’m pretty sure the original chocolates were not made with HFCS and yellow #5. They taste great though.

An excellent old fashioned candy store. Everything is great and the prices are very fair. We love picking out our own chocolates and really like how we can get almost everything in dark chocolate.

I was very disappointed about the service I received with an online order for Mother’s Day candy. The website said order by 5÷5÷2014 and guarantee delivery for Mother’s Day. I ordered, the order went through, got a confirmation number. However, the next day I was called to say «sorry we can’t get it to Texas for Mother’s Day» without an extra $ 9 for 2 day UPS shipping. So for my $ 25 box of chocolates, i would have paid $ 19 for shipping. I told the person in customer service about the website wording and she said «well that is for New England»…I have used this company in the past and my mother loved the candy but no more. They should have absorbed the extra shipping and not tried to hijack me on Mother’s day. I cancelled the order.

Went there this morning to purchase milk chocolate turtles (Cashews) for my wife for Valentine’s day. Couldn’t resist after I tried one and bought the dark chocolate ones for myself. They are soooooo delicious! Great place and excellent variety as they kept coming out with fresh batches.

My husband and I have been on a salted caramel kick lately and have tried quite a few chocolatiers. Phillips has, by far, the best salted vanilla caramels around! We got quite the tour there as well! Awesome experience! Thank you!

My Father and I went there last night to pick up some chocolates for my Mother. You walk in and immediately are overwhelmed (in a great way, if you LOVE chocolate!). It’s beautiful, clean, fairly small. There is sooo many candies and chocolates to choose from.
There was a sale associate, a sweet lady named Carol who basically gave my Father and I a grand tour of the ENTIRE place. She claimed that she wasn’t allowed to hand out samples, but we left with sooo many! It is a bit on the pricey side but the company has been a family business for a little over 100 years. My favorite was definitely is a cross between the milk chocolate and white chocolate (which, I usually cannot stand!) turtles. You can choose to have pecans, cashews, almonds and I believe walnuts. There is a lovely caramel taste in the middle. Carol explained how the family still makes their chocolate the «old fashioned» way. They process everything the proper way, with care and love. I will definitely be going back! :)
P.s There was a really awesome gift of a woman’s heel with a bottle of pinot grio and chocolates wrapped around the bottle! So cute and romantic!

Best turtles, hands down. We live near this spot and I have to stop myself from swinging by on my commute home each night :) Phillips is a great shop — with tons of chocolate and candy choices. Seriously, their turtles are amazing… milk or dark chocolate. They make an excellent gift. They do a nice job packaging things up and I always enjoy giving them for a gift around the holidays.

My grandmother had a candy shop in Beverly Hills, CA for over 40 years and used only the finest chocolate for her hand dipped chocolates. Phillip’s Candy House measures up every bit to the quality of her candies!!! They have a great selection and have something for every sweet tooth!!!

Great chocolates and fantastic hot chocolate. I often buy my coworkers treats from here for Christmas and they really love them!

One of the largest and extensive, and apparently also the oldest, chocolatier in the Boston area. I have seen their location in the South Shore Plaza, and this Morrissey Blvd location is vastly superior in size and options.
There is extensive options of fudge, chocolate barks, turtles, etc. For example, they had chocolate turtles made with milk chocolate vs. dark chocolate, with vs. without sea salt, variations made with almonds vs. pecans vs. macadamia nuts, and this is JUST the turtles we’re talking about! They had alot of different options for their chocolate barks, fudges, and a range of truffles flavors.
Some things you can purchase by weight and they put into a box for you, and some things are already individually wrapped. Their turtles are a perfect blend of smooth chocolate and crunchy nuts, their cookies are delicious, and I love their individual smores, though quite a splurge at $ 2/​ea. The pricing for the price-​by-​weight option was harder to figure out, since you have to have the employee help you with the fudge/​bark/​etc., and they ask you «how much do you want? 1lb?» Since I don’t buy chocolate often, it’s hard to know how much ½ lb vs. 1lb actually looks like without telling them they need to just walk over and showing us.
This place seems great for any gift occasion too as well as general Boston souvenirs with some candies included or stuffed animals with some chocolate attached to them. They seem to also offer custom orders for special events, such as wedding favors.
Easy location to find, right off of 93 and on Morrissey Blvd, right by Boston Bowl. Great place, only thing that could have made it better, was the staff were very stand-​offish, they wouldn’t walk over until we could figure out exactly how much we wanted; it would have been helpful if they offered to help or seemed a bit more welcoming.
Overall, great place if you’re looking for a range of chocolate options.

Wow amazing candy! I’m from California, we are FAMOUS for SEES CANDY… Phillips Candy House puts Sees to SHAME! If you are looking for quality chocolate or old fashioned candy (the right way) you come here! I was first introduced to Phillips truffles and half dipped mints. I fell in love! This last Christmas I bought 3 pounds of the half dipped mints (one for my grandmother and 2 for the xmas parties we had). She said they reminded her of the candies in her childhood… and everyone went wild for the candy. Their detailed and delicate box the candies come in are very luxurious and the way candy should be handled and boxed. I just ordered my shipment for mothers day… and I know it will be a huge surprise for my aunt and grandma when they receive it.

The candy is old fashioned in a good way and really terrific, the shop is cute and clean. The staff all wear smocks and you can see all the old ladies making the stuff out back. The Heavenly Hash fudge, really is heavenly. I stop in on my way to work for gifts and such. Not always warm and fuzzy here. But very handy for nice gifts, people love the turtles.
I am a regular, and the quality can’t be beat.

I finally made it here! This will become my «local gift» when I am visiting friends and want to bring something from Boston. The chocolate is really good. It’s not fancy, single-​origin chocolate like Dagoba or fancy like Vosges. But it’s creamy and delicious.
The staff recommended I try the hash bar (she even made the obvious but funny joke about telling my friend I know where to get great hash in Dorchester). It has filberts and marshmallow and was great. If they are in stock, get some!
The chocolates, fudge, and roasted nut combos are all made in house. The jellies and gummies are not, I was told. And note if you’re buying the wrapped chocolate bars and want a local treat: a few of them are from Asher’s. Asher’s makes great chocolate, too, but it’s not by Phillips (and actually made near the town I’m planning to visit and bring chocolate, which is just silly). Of course, Asher’s founder learned to make chocolate in Boston, so there’s a connection.
I’m glad I don’t have a car and need to bike or walk to get here; otherwise I’d be in trouble with all that chocolatey goodness so close to home.
