A great production of Moose made of chocolate, bought some of their candies and what we loved the most was their chocolate ice cream, so densed and not to sweet. So easy to find just along US Route 1.
Len-Libby is a small candy shop, it has a little bit of many kinds of candy. The best thing is the homemade chocolate, wow just delicious. I got several different kinds and all of it was wonderful. I must say it is on the expensive side, I think they could charge a little less. Part of the interest in the shop is the huge chocolate moose, Lenny. He is very big and very cute. They also have a lot of Maine souvenirs. I also got some of these. Len-Libby is worth the time for some good chocolate.
We always head for Len Libby's when we are in the mood for something sweet. They make most everything locally and it is always fresh and delicious. Our favorite is the dark chocolate butter crunch.
Len Libby makes the BEST candy and chocolate... I have been a customer for years but my taste has evolved from milk chocolate covered vanilla caramels and Bangor taffy to the more healthy dark chocolate bark with pomegranate and wild Maine blueberries and the incredible dark chocolate covered ginger. It's definitely worth a visit if you are visiting Maine on vacation or if you just live in the Portland area!
Some of the best candy around - all made on site - also has a life size Chocolate Moose on site. Easy to find, located on Route #1
We stopped by here to see the 1700 pound chocolate moose - it was quite remarkable. We also bought a few pieces of chocolate, which were delicious. We appreciated that there were no high pressure sales.
Life-size chocolate moose, and some bears too!Excellent homemade chocolates. Friendly staff.Wide selection, even sugar free too!
Any place that has a near life size chocolate moose as an attraction definitely qualifies as a tourist trap. However, the chocolates were pretty good. We all especially enjoyed their milk chocolate butter crunch (what I would call toffee) and the kids ate all the salt water taffy before anyone else got to try it. Our cat sitter enjoyed her "lobster on the Rocks" - a cute boxed set with two milk chocolate lobsters and chocolate rocks. We'd definitely stop in again if we're in the area.
A stop at Len Libby Chocolates just to see the 1700 pound Chocolate moose is worth the trip. Picking up some of the best chocolate and candies you will find anywhere, adds to the value of the visit! There is something for everyone in there selection of treats and well as an ice cream shop on premises.
This was a nice stop on our way up the coast. I wish now that we had gotten more chocolate because it is so good. We aren't even done with our trip and the stuff is all gone. Maybe we can swing by on the way to the airport. Lenny the moose is cute too. Bunch of things there for the kids to check out while you shop for chocolate.
