Mueller Chocolate Co

We enjoyed the smells and sights of this iconic Philadelphia chocolate place in Reading Terminal Market. Lots of milk chocolate and dark chocolate concoctions compete with a tray of caramel apples and bright red candy apples. I love that the apples not all year favorites, not just fall offerings. We could not decide until I saw the sign for Guilty Pleasures Tower of Chocolate, advertising that it had been featured on Food Network. The challenge was on. We tried several of the chocolate layer and took some home. you line up here and walk along the counters, then order and pay prior to receiving your purchase. You can eat in one of the small accessible table areas. They also ship chocolate. Free wifi. Accessible entry/exit at one of the main entrances, with some smaller entrances with 6 steps. Accessible restrooms in central market area. Accessible van parking in paid lot which is challenging.

amazing chocolate! pretty pricey but it's quality chocolate so you should expect that! i personally love sea salt caramel so i recommend anything of that flavor, BUT please please PLEASE try their truffles. i don't care what kind they are SO GOOD!!!! (atmosphere rated a 3 because it's in reading terminal which is usually a nightmare) staff is super sweet and quick!

Lots of options. Candied apples too!! I never see those anywhere, just caramel apples. I purchased some Dubai chocolate for $16 which was very different yet tasty.

Yummy, colorful range on their chocolate truffle balls - plenty with savory classics (sold out of salted chocolate on a recent visit), plus berry flavors or (my preference) citrus. They're pricey - about $1 per truffle as of 2024. But it's a fancy treat, alongside the dipped pretzels. Better souvenir/travel snacks than cookies or cakes in the Terminal.

AWFUL! I excitedly brought in guests from across the country to what I thought would be a showcase of great chocolate in Philly and for them to take gifts home. The man at the counter on June 19 had the worst customer service I've seen in town in a while. My guests were pointing at items and reading the label and he couldn't see what they were asking for, nor had a label he could read off of so he BERATED them. Truly yelled at them so much, they kind of got worried he'd come around the counter. They wanted to walk away but we already had some orders in with the other helper. It completely ruined the afternoon for them and gave them such a bad taste of Philly. I was so embarrassed but I've never been as verbally abused by someone in a store for something so trivial as him not being able to understand what they were asking for. Honestly folks, there are so many other options for good chocolate in town nowadays that this isn't necessary.

Visited Philly Market Place back in May 2024 and tried a Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Carmel with Sea Salt and I’ll say it made my knees weak with delight. Had my wife try one and she had the same reaction. Just unbelievable. Need to make note that both of us have been on a sugar-free diet since 2021 and never tested anything as good as this. Sadly we we came back home to Phoenix and search for anything as good as this with no luck, and I had forgot who I bought this from while in Philly. Needless to say, thanks to Google Maps and searching Chocolate stores in downtown Philly, I found them and found their website. Ordered a box to be sure and sure enough I found their website store!!!! Ordered more and will continue, don’t know what the secret it, but no one can duplicate the taste and texture of a Mueller Dark Chocolate Sugar Free Carmel. Highly Recommend

The chocolate covered pretzels are the best I’ve had! So fresh and tasty! Love supporting a local family business, highest of recommendations! Many other tasty treats to choose from - the BEST!

They have the best truffles at this place. Every time I go to the terminal market I have to stop here. They have all types of unique chocolate treats and a variety of other candies. But the truffles are my favorite. They have flavor such as Rum, coconut, Raspberry and others. They're all my favorites. A quarter pound is $8.24 and that gets you about 8 pieces. It is a little pricey but it's a once in a while indulgence. Try to avoid going on the weekend this place is usually jam packed and you have to take a number and stand in line. They're pretty efficient about keeping the line moving quickly. But the best time to go it's on a weekday in the morning when the crowds are not as bad and you can take your time and sight see at all the little shops.

Looking for a bizarre treat that will make your taste buds question their existence? Well, look no further than Mueller Chocolate Co. inside the crowded Reading Market! Whether you have a hankering for a box of bonbons that can make your mind boggle or you're inexplicably drawn to the allure of a chocolate-covered onion (yes, that's a thing), Mueller Chocolate Co. has got you covered, and it was disgusting. Their claim to fame lies in their delectable chocolate oddities that will both delight and perplex you. Picture this: anatomically correct chocolate hearts, brains, livers, and kidneys. Who knew you could satisfy your medical professional and goth cravings in one go? Now, I must admit, I was slightly disappointed that they didn't offer chocolate penises. I mean, it's 2023, people! However, fear not, for I found solace in a box of chocolate aspirins. Because what better way to cure your sweet tooth than with a side of mock medication? So, if you're in the mood for a truly unconventional chocolate experience that will leave you questioning your sanity and taste preferences, Mueller Chocolate Co. is the place to go. Just don't forget to bring your sense of humor and a willingness to embrace the wonderfully weird. As far as the ambiance, well there's really no place to sit unless you walk to the food court. Maybe you can find a place to devour your culinary treat! Happy chocolate adventures.

Deez Nuts are big and delicious @ Mueller's. Stopped by Reading Market today and the huge bag of salted cashews made me stop and pick up a treat. Wonderful salty roasted cashews are some of the best nuts I've chowed down. I know these look really salty and they are but damn taste is out of this world. FYI the rest of the candy treats looked scrumptious however it was 95 degrees out and walking around with chocolate wasn't going to end well, so I'll update you when I try those goodies. However you must grab your sack filled with salty nuts!

Given a box of mixed chocolate dipped pretzels as a holiday gift. I am obsessed with the peanut butter half dip ones. So good. I have also learned that they have a location in Rockledge PA which is way closer to my house and going to haunt my waking thoughts and eventually wreck my diet plans for the new year in the tastiest way possible.

My favorite place for toasted coconut clusters! They have the best, compared to the candy shop, and PA GENERAL store. The downside is that prices are outrageously high here!

Truffle Sampler - the truffles are creamy and decadent. I probably wouldn't be able to eat more than one if I wasn't splitting the truffle in half. The truffle sampler was a great way to try a number of truffles. However, I wish the box had a description of each truffle so I knew what I was trying.

Atmosphere: Mueller Chocolate Company is a very eye-catching stand at Reading Terminal Market. There is a large selection of chocolates and treats that all look so appealing! Service: The attendants were nice and patient, especially with all the chocolates to choose from! Food: We ended up getting a quarter pound of the White Caramel Truffles. The truffles were a great combination of sweet, creamy, and caramel-y. The inside coated our mouths with the decadent and rich chocolate. An individual truffle was decently sized, so our quarter pound bag lasted us maybe 2 or 3 days of disciplined rationing. Overall: Mueller Chocolate Company is a great spot to satisfy a sugar craving! Even though the prices are on the steeper end, you do pay for it in terms of quality. We would recommend the White Caramel Truffles and would love to try some of the other treats they have to offer!

I was at reading terminal looking for a yummy gift for a friend and stumbled upon this shop and was immediately amazed. Not only did Muellers have cute simple chocolates, they also had chocolate molds of brains, feet, ears, noses you name it! On top of this, they had cute little notes inside the organ boxes! I settled on the ears with the note that said You are "Ear Resistible". How cute! Service was amazing and everyone was so sweet and accommodating. Prices were well put and they have selections of the same molds in multiple different chocolates! My friend loved their gift and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a sweet treat or the cutest gift! 10/10 will be back!

So for me it's a hit or miss. I only buy chocolate covered cordials from them. Depending on the time of year they are just trash. But today was the worst. Never got a bag of all old looking chocolate. This is frustrating as we are experiencing inflation and I bought half a pound of inedible chocolate.

Picked up a box of artisan chocolates and they were solid - nice mix of fillings like ganache, caramel, etc. encased in nicely decorated shells. A little on the sweet side for my preference, but well done nonetheless.

Mueller Chocolate Company has an enticing selection of chocolates and chocolate gifts in the bustling Reading Terminal Market. They also sell online which may be more convenient for some until the pandemic is over. The truffles are really good and there's so many kinds to choose from. The tiramisu ones are ridiculous and currently a favorite. Some of the other flavors include rum, Irish cream, coffee, and champagne which were all quite nice. At $32.95 a lb though, it's not cheap! One thing I didn't quite get was some of the specialty items they had, like the chocolate rats and random body parts. A little bit off-putting in my opinion. Who's eating a chocolate rat? Weird. But to each his own I guess. Rats and brains aside, four stars from me. Worth checking out.

This review is for the dark chocolate covered pretzels. I follow the Instagram and found out that they have 50 percent off on chocolate covered pretzels that day. Very friendly staff. The pretzels are very crunchy and bigger than common chocolate covered pretzels. The chocolate is thick and not too sweet. It's very delicious and addicting.

I bought some fudge and chocolates. Firstly the fudge was old but worse there was a bug in one piece. Really gross! As for the chocolates they were just okay. Many many places have better candy.

[633] This chocolate company is in Reading Terminal Market. I saw signs it was on the Food Network so I had to check it out. There are tons of choices at this walk up candy counter. I settled on 1/2 lb ($20 a pound) or covered pretzels. I do have to say it was very tasty. A bit expensive so this is definitely once in a while treat. The staff was very nice I'll be back

Yes! These are some delicious chocolates indeed. Located inside the Reading Terminal Market, you can't miss this chocolate shop. They have their goodies displayed in glass cases and if you're a chocolate lover like us, you can't just walk by this store without picking up a few pieces. Employees are super sweet, helpful, and wrap up your order neatly. Their dark chocolate is my favorite, so smooth, not overly sweet, bold with a beautiful finish. Highly recommend Mueller Chocolate Co.

Okay I'm gonna need to hit the gym again today! Stopped in got me some Buckeyes freshly made and oh dear goodness they are delicious! The wait wasn't long at all, but of course it's not even noon yet lol I'm eating chocolate ! If you want some fresh chocolate do yourself a favor and get here fast! All sorts of truffles, caramel pecan candies, dark chocolate, Carmel, peanut butter chocolate cups , the list goes on an on. It's pure heaven! The candies are of course weighed and you pay per pound. I personally thought the prices were on par and for the quality of chocolate you'll pay a bit more. Trust me you won't mind that at all once this chocolate is placed on your palette. You can purchase a variety or get all of one and they have bags as well boxes if necessary.

I take back what I said in 2013. I just had someone gift me an assorted box of truffles (photo attached) and they are FLIPPING INCREDIBLE!!! Ohhhhh my, God! Some of the best chocolate I've ever eaten. And so many original and unique flavors!

We were at Reading Terminal Market. We were looking to buy a gift food item to give to a friend who we were visiting the next day. We decided to customize a box of Chocolate Truffles. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. We left with a box of Chocolate Truffles that is sure to please our friends since we were able to pick Truffle flavors that we knew our friends would enjoy. Service was fast, friendly and efficient.

When I was a kid it seemed like these olde time candy/chocolate stores were all over the place. But these days they seem a bit harder to come by (though I don't live in Pennsylvania). So I really appreciate the huge selection they offer here. I especially like their truffles. I've always encountered very friendly staff as well.

I ordered last minute chocolate covered pretzels for my sister & they were so helpful in making sure it got there on time & with the note. My sister loved the pretzels so i'll definitely be making an in person visit next time I go!

It's always crowded in the terminal and at Mueller's because it's good chocolate. The pricing is decent and there is all types of chocolate and other sweets. You can do a mix and match. For 1/4 lb. it's $4.99 and 1/2 lb. it's $9.99 but I don't remember how much for a lb. Today we did chocolate Oreos, potato chip clusters, and a half chocolate and peanut butter pretzels. All good! The potato chip clusters were more chocolate than potato chips, but hey who complains about more chocolate?! Best chocolates around town!! *Don't forget to get your parking ticket validated for a discount in the parking garage**

Mueller is a fun chocolate place with a wide arrangement of human body parts recreated into chocolate along with truffles and other pieces of candy. The real question is, does it taste good? The answer is yes. I have gone here multiple times and they deliver when it comes to your sweet tooth. It is worth the stop when you're in Reading Terminal Market.

I loved my chocolate turtles from the mueller chocolate company! They were the perfect amount of chocolate, nut, and caramel! The girls working the counter were extremely nice and helpful in picking out some great things to try! Only downside was they were a little expensive but within a reasonable price range. Overall it was a good treat and I would definitely grab a second round!

A smaller chocolate shop that shouldn't be overlooked! It is easy to get caught up in the market and overlook this small, but very good shop! They deliver some really good product and if you ask nicely they would even let you sample some of it. They have all your typical confectionary treats to satify your sweet tooth!

Chocolate Cheesesteak?? You read right! Chocolate by Mueller is selling chocolate cheesesteaks But it's not fru-fru meat-dipped-in-chocolate that seems to be the newest craze ( thank god! ) This is solid chocolate in the shape of a gooey cheesesteak sandwich. Apparently their schtick is to make really cool molds for various chocolates & they had a huge variety of fun, funky molds The taste of their chocolate? Weird, maybe waxy 1st taste but kind of smooths out at the end - threw out over 1/2 of the "cheesesteak" as I just couldn't get used to the taste......and I've NEVER thrown out chocolate Wouldn't call this superior chocolate or even a chocolate I'd buy again for myself... but more of a novelty chocolate. A conversation piece, if you will So for novelty's sake, this place is A-OK

If your idea of good chocolate is that it comes in unusual shapes or covers unusual objects, then you will probably like this place. They also offer a variety of other sugary confections. Like Adrienne G. points out, the taste of the chocolate itself is nothing unusual. It tastes like the packaged chocolate chips you buy at the grocery store, but melted and solidified into interesting shapes. There is no variety of flavors, unless you count the artificial, overly-sweet fillings inside some of the chocolates as "flavors." Overall, this is more of a touristy stop than a place to find master chocolatier-quality work. The low level of craftsmanship certainly does not justify the high prices, but I guess some people could say that the variety or novelty does. **Also, the customer service is questionable. I saw a box of chocolate truffles that resembled ones at Ibach's in Rehoboth Beach, DE, and when I asked the counter girl about where they came from, she just said "I don't know," then walked away and never came back.

Stopped by Mueller chocolate after lunch and grabbed chocolate covered Oreos, pretzels and a truffle sampler. They're trufflers are absolutely amazing!

I stopped by this past Sat. to get some chocolate-peanut butter covered pretzels, as suggested by Brian S. I'd stopped by to pick some up before when I visited RTM this summer, and wasn't able to eat them right away due to gorging on ice cream, etc. I intended to pack them for my trip back to Pittsburgh, but totally forgot and left them at my parents' house, and my dad snagged them before I could ask them to mail them back to me. :-( Once again, I opted for the chocolate covered pretzels--this time the dark chocolate version. Although I refrained from munching on them on the train ride back to Pittsburgh, I ate them as soon as I returned to my apt. and had some dinner. They were quite delicious, with a great sweet-salty balance and a thick coating, and made for a great munchable dessert. The reason I'm docking a star is because they're a bit pricey ($4.33 per quarter pound, or about $.80 per pretzel). Also, Mueller's only accepts cash. Be sure to check your purchase at the counter because all sales are final! Mueller's also sells odd chocolate molded and covered confections (chocolate rats, chocolate covered onions), but I can't comment on them as I haven't tried one. I'm guessing the chocolate molded body parts are popular with the med students/interns/fellows at Jefferson nearby.

I go to Mueller's for the Heksehyl Witch Salty Licorice. Usually it's the freshest here. They make fudge but no samples. What kind of fudge packer packs fudge without packing samples? Truffles are kinda small and not really that good. There are other vendors in RTM that sell better truffles and let you taste the fudge.

It's a first! First time on 40 years I have thrown away boxed chocolates! I guess they are just coasting on their name now. Used to be great. Chocolate was lacking in true flavor. Fillings were blah. Cordial cherries were yucky. I have eaten and given local chocolates for decades. It happens time and time again. The founders die. The kids carry on or not. But someone always cheapens the product. Oh. And they make nice 12.8 oz boxes that look like 1 pound boxes so you can pay more for less. Less product. Less quality. Too bad. Buy Shane's (very good but very expensive) or Sees or Fannie Mae orb Lake Champlain if you afford the cost plus shipping. Mueller candy is cheesy.

If you love chocolate this is a dangerous place! ALL the chocolates look incredible, and there is A LOT to select from. I purchased dark chocolate drops that were excellent. Great layout, friendly staff.

Best dark chocolate Reece's cup I've ever had. The chocolate and peanut just melts in your mouth. I also tried the chocolate covered Oreo which was amazing too. Such good chocolate here! Also a funny gag gift with the chocolate covered onions. Located across from Termini.

Candy. Lots and lots of candy. Mostly all chocolate based. I originally wanted to get some of their Buckeyes, but there were only two left, so I opted for some peanut butter cups to take back home. The pb is creamy. The chocolate does not drowned it out - a plus when dealing with many generic chocolates. This has a satisfying, legit sweet flavor!

The oddities have always put me off, I had always thought it more a novelty store than a chocolatier. But I finally decided to try it out. The other day, I got half a pound of Dark Chocolate raspberry jellies, and they were delicious! The best I ever had - the chocolate was rich, the raspberry was nice and sweet, and the price was decent, just under $10. I had to go back again in a couple days because I ate it all, and got a pound this time. Will definitely try the other items they have too, but I know that if they make the dark chocolate raspberry jellies this good, everything else must be just as great. One thing: they don't have Jordan Crackers. But if they ever make it, I'm sure it'll be delicious!

Who doesn't love Chocolate? Chocolate by Mueller is located in the Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia. They make chocolates in different shapes ranging from RATS to HEARTS to LUNGS to FEET to Mike Tyson's SPECIALS EARS. What a sight to be seen. I would post pictures... but that would defeat the purpose, so you have to go in person to check it out! I'm a big fan of their Dark Macadamia Clusters.

Stopped in over the weekend to purchase a box of assorted truffles for a gift. I haven't sampled it, so I cant speak to the flavor, but I had to chime in. Dear god, 6 truffles for 7 bucks is ridiculously inexpensive! That's like under $1.16 a piece. So, I'm totally confused about the critical reviews on pricing. The truffles look very pretty, and I really can't wait to give it to my friend. That is, if I don't break down and gobble them up, myself.

You must go and visit this place inside the market. REASONABLE prices for chocolate and man what a huge selection of goodies you can try out. I love this place, the actual market is really a decent spot to go to not break your wallet! HIGHLY SUGGEST!

A fantastic selection of chocolate goodies and treats. I have shopped there in person at RTM and also ordered online. Excellent service. The chocolate covered pretzels are outstanding! They even included an extra Eagles chocolate treat with my Super Bowl order. Thanks!!!

I came for the chocolate but the coconut slices are the star. I bought a mixed pound (all at the same price point) of chocolates. As they were boxing my purchase, I spied the coconut slices and loving coconut as I do, got a measly 1/4 pound of the neopolitan and watermelon slices. DANG! Now, I need to drive back just for coconut slices. They were so good. You can smell the flavors and the slices themselves were nice and soft. I can't buy the packaged crap any more. This has spoiled me for all others.

Stopped by after my time at the Philadelphia flower and garden show. The employees were friendly and the service was quick. I stocked up on Easter candies. I loved the buckeyes and peanut butter melts. I would stop again on my next visit.

Chocolate peanut butter covered pretzels to die for. Sure they have other things here to eat like chocolate rats, ears, and lungs. And a neverending selection of chocolate confections, licorice, and other candies, many of which are concocted across the hall. But have a heart and save a pretzel for me.

The creativity of their chocolate creations is impressive. Chocolate philly souvenirs, body part shaped chocolate with catchy phrases, and even chocolate shaped like aspirin- what more could you need?

A great selection of molded chocolate confections and other candies and goodies. Conveniently located in the RTM. Bark, non-pareils, peanut butter cups, chocolate covered pretzels, rats, bats and Halloween and Christmas chocolates, too. Fun!

I come here every so often for a chocolate fix. Their quality is always good. The prices are high, though, and you have to get a minimum of 1/4lb of anything. I like they do have a sugar-free selection for those who need that. I'm glad I don't! You also cannot mix your selections as 1/4lb is the minimum. I was able to mix the same price truffles, though, as I did buy 1/2lb @ $17. Good service, tasty treats, not an everyday place except to look at! Mueller's Chocolate also has been featured in Ripley's Believe it or Not! Chocolate Onion anyone? How about chocolate body parts? You'll have to check it out in the Reading Terminal Market!

although not the best chocolate in the world, they offer some unique options that really stand out. The anatomically correct chocolate ears, hearts, brains, lungs, and noses are a joy to my world. And the chocolate actually taste good! I asked for a peanut cluster before dropping 50 bucks and it was definitely worth it.

We recently purchased chocolate covered pretzels from the Mueller location in the Reading Terminal Market. I am always on the look out for these treats and have finally found the absolute best ones. If these pretzels are any indication of how good the other chocolates are from this company, I will be a repeat customer. Unfortunately, I live in California so will only be able to order during the cooler months.

It's a huge shop with huge variety of hand made chocolates. It is very difficult to make a selection from the varieties available. Handmade chocolates are sold by the pound. Apart from handmade chocolate you also get fudge, brittle and barks. I bought few chocolates and a bark and liked it. Chocolates were nothing exceptional however were good.

Ah, you can walk into Reading Terminal here and get chocolates and candies of all varieties. You can look in the glass room where they make their delightful confections. While they don't have the German gummy bears that I love, they sell many other tasty treats... from the sugarless to the marzipan to the chocolate shaped hearts & cheese steaks & brains, etc. altogether with very witty sayings. Friends like the fudge or peanut clusters here. If you buy marzipan, incidentally, don't get the individual pieces at $5 each. Get a $9 box of mini fruits. $10 or more minimum for credit card charges appreciated here.

If you're looking for novelty and traditional chocolate treats, you would've found it at Mueller. They have everything from truffles and chocolate covered pretzels to other more candied items like Turkish paste and other chewy delights. They have a small candy station too. What I mean by novelties is that they have a ton of other unique chocolate products. They've got chocolates shaped into ears, noses, human hearts, mice (I know, maybe not the best idea), alligators, and more. We just got the chocolate covered pretzels which were charged by the pound. $4.84per quarter pound, which I thought was a pretty hefty price tag considering. But if they do indeed make their own pretzels then I suppose it is worth it. The pretzels are flaky and don't get stale underneath the very thick layer of chocolate or peanut butter covering. The chocolate is of good quality but I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this chocolate and those used in other higher end chocolate products. Overall, I'd come back to buy people some gifts from Philly or to surprise someone with a chocolatey treat, but I'm not sure I would splurge on myself every time I made a visit to the Reading Terminal. Definitely one of the more interesting stores there though!

Almost all bulk items by the pound, minimum orders of 1/4 pound for some (average $4.00), $10.00 min CC purchases. Debit is okay. -Chocolate covered pretzels mini - really really good. not your average. -Candy Corn - big ones! tastes fresh and not stale, but they don't have the regular ones a la carte -Non-pariels - I actually like the milk better than the dark, but they are both so good, with good sprinkles. -Real Dutch Black Licorice - like 15 bulk containers of them! Salty and sweet. Will have to try their Dutch Red Licorice. They were out of the choc. covered raisin when I was there...must be good? Open everyday. I missed this row the first time I was at Reading Terminal. A big fan now.
