For those who don\u2019t want to commit to the full experience, the individual pieces from the assortment will be available in Shane\u2019s chocolate case and can be added to in-store custom assortments.<\/p>\n
There are other Halloween-season treats at Shane Confectionery, including Mr. Pumpkin Chocolate Figure, Galvani\u2019s Electric Frogs, Cinnamon and Chili Ghost Bon Bons, Chocolate Septa Rats, Memento Mori Chocolate Medallion, Honey Sesame Bon Bons, Spicy Cinnamon Chili Drinking Chocolate Mix, Chocolate dipped Honeycomb Candy and more.<\/p>\n
Next door at Franklin Fountain, pair the Haunted chocolates with apple pie ice cream, Great Pumpkin Sundae, Hot Cider, Caramel Apple Float, Caramel Apple Pie Shake or any of the shop\u2019s homemade flavors.<\/p>\n
While the whole box is being kept a secret until release, one of the most notable pieces included is a Sparkling Champagne Pate de Fruit in honor of a phantom party in a former hotel.<\/p>\n
\u201cIts made with prosecco (sparkling wine) and popping sugar \u2014 like Pop Rocks \u2014 and it has a delightful kind of sticky texture, somewhere between fruit based pate de fruit and a Turkish delight,\u201d said confectionery Manager Laurel Burmeister said. \u201cIts a piece we have been wanting to do for a long time, I think our head chocolate maker Kevin Paschall came up with the idea initially, and he was the one to create it. We\u2019re thinking of bringing it back for New Year\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shane, established in 1863, is the oldest continuously-run confectionery and candy shop in the United States. The Shane family took over the business in 1911, installing elaborately carved woodwork, stained glass and curved windows to showcase the chocolates and confections made onsite.<\/p>\n
In 2010, the business transitioned to the Berley Brothers, who live in Media and own the Franklin Fountain. Candies and chocolate continue to be made on-site, with an emphasis on locally-sourced ingredients, seasonal specialties and old-fashioned quality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ready for some real ghost stories to go along with the Halloween candy?
