Pulakos 926 Chocolate

I can’t say enough good things about Pulakos. I went to college in Erie and have long since moved away. I’m in the Erie area about once a year visiting my husband’s family. I ALWAYS stop at Pulako’s. The chocolate covered strawberries are always fresh and delicious. The caramallows are my absolute favorite from the chocolate case. Everyone working behind the counter always has a smile on their faces. I brought a few assortments back for some of my friends, and they want to know when I’m going back to Erie. I always feel welcome there.

This location is located by the Starbucks and Cold Stone Creamery outside of the Millcreek Mall.
Apparently Valentine’s Day in Erie means chocolate covered strawberries from Pulakos and I was happy to participate in this tradition. When I arrived there was a line just about out the door and I think almost every single customer purchased at least half a dozen of these goodies. The shop was prepared and ready to go, the strawberries are packaged in egg cartons of half a dozen and a dozen for easy transport. Many people were ordering two and three dozen!
The strawberries themselves I found to be delicious though they are fully submerged in chocolate, unlike most which I have experienced which are partially dipped so as that part of the berry and the green leaves are still visible. I didn’t find the Pulakos to be as pretty, but I am not one to complain about extra chocolate! I’m definitely a fan!
Being that I was in a candy store, hungry and waiting in a line; in addition to the strawberries I also left with a chocolate covered marshmallow heart and a few of the sea salt caramels. Delicious!
