Dean & Deluca



Over the years, Dean & Deluca has become a one-stop shop for all of your epicurean needs. Since the first store opened in 1977, Dean & Deluca has been rapidly expanding to become the culinary dream that it is today. The Upper East Side branch has a fabulous array of candy, but it differs from your standard candy store in its layout. Because of the many different types of goods that the store offers, the candy lives all around the store, without any one designated area. One has to browse among the store, which can be overwhelming, in order to find all of the candy offerings. However, after the initial shock from the magnitude of products, one can encounter some pretty interesting pieces. What caught my eye in particular were the molded Buddha chocolates. Each Buddha is made with dark chocolate and painted with edible gold. They are different from any candy I’ve every seen before but at $20 a pop, they are certainly no karmic bargain.
