Lenny the Chocolate Moose – Scarborough, Maine - Gastro Obscura

"Lenny is an animal-sized tribute to chocolate, and to the state of Maine. A 1,700-pound behemoth, Lenny is a milk-chocolate moose, the star of an edible animal habitat hidden inside of Len Libby Candies, a chocolatier in Scarborough, Maine. Lenny’s pals are some dark chocolate black bears: 380-pound Mama Libby and her cubs, Cocoa and Chip, who are 80 pounds each. The sweet animals coexist happily around a blue-tinted white chocolate pond, in which Lenny stands magisterially, looking upon the store’s candy offerings. Lenny was created in 1997.  The sculptor commissioned to make him slathered milk chocolate over a moose-shaped wire lath, then carved and smoothed, toiling over delicious chocolate for a month until Lenny took form. A video documenting his creation plays on a loop at the store today. Eight feet tall and nine feet wide, he’s a true feast for the eyes. The animal habitat is fenced off: In chocolate form, Lenny and co. are endangered species and must remain situated next to the store’s ice cream station so they stay cool. The choice of star animal is probably an homage to Maine’s large moose population, second only to Alaska in the United States. Know Before You Go Since Lenny is located inside in the back corner of the candy shop, you'll need to visit when it's open. The hours are posted on the company's Facebook page." - e1savage, Collector of Experiences, hfritzmartinez, emerkel, ladyredtravel, nataliearmacost

We were the horrible tourists that showed up 5 minutes prior to closing(sorry, it was our only chance to get here!) but everyone was still super nice to us and very helpful. In addition to being an amazing candy shoppe that did stellar versions of the traditional favorites, they had a bunch of things I'd never seen before. Adventurous stuff too! Coconut curry cashews!? Okay, I'm in. And the "Dark Cup of Coffee" was phenomenal!

This was a fun pit stop on our recent roadtrip. The chocolates and caramels were tasty. They gave out teeny tiny samples. We thought the prices were really high, but it is a tourist destination, so they are obviously doing okay. I made a small box of assorted chocolates so I could try a few things, they were all really good. The chocolate covered raspberry jelly was probably my favorite.

A vast variety of chocolates , the 4 ladies were helpful and very polite . At the far end they give out free samples . As it states Lenny was the only moose we saw :

Like every other place, post covid-19, they have great offerings but reflect the new trend of price increases. Most likely due to supply issues

I have been coming here since I was a child and it has remained largely unchanged. Lenny the life size chocolate moose is starting to show his age but he is still a joy to visit every summer. They have gotten rid of their ice cream station since my last visit and are pushing the bangor taffy pretty hard. In their defense, the bangor taffy is great and I pick some up each summer to take back to my office. I was hoping to get some maple sugar candy as well but that also appears to have gone the way of the ice cream. Service was friendly and helpful and my colleagues really enjoyed the taffy.

Super friendly staff are more than happy to make recommendations. Definitely be sure to grab some Bangor taffy and peruse thoroughly — there’s an amazing selection here spanning sugar high to sugar free. Enjoy!

Giant chocolate moose was amazing, definitely looks bigger in person too! Great selection of treats as well.

It's definitely a touriest attraction but there is a life size Chocolate moose as advertised. Who doesn't want to see that? The chocolate we got was good but it is on the expensive side.
