The Goodside:
Let me start off by saying that I love sweets. I love chocolate, caramel, sugar, whatever. I am addicted, but I'm okay with that. When I saw this Russell Stover store, I knew I would have to stop in sometime. And today I did!
I didn't expect this store to have as much as it did when I first looked at it. It looks tiny from the outside, but as soon as I stepped in, I noticed they had a pretty large selection. I had never been in a Russell Stover store before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was pretty surprised! They had everything from cookies to ice cream to their prepackaged chocolates and so on. There were a couple tables with free samples as well. I didn't know where to start, but I knew I wanted to get something.
There was a man mopping the floor when I came in. He didn't say hi to me, but that might have been because he was busy cleaning the floor. Eventually, he asked if he could help me, and I said I wanted to try some of the cookies. He put his mop up, cleaned his hands, and picked out my cookies for me. As he was ringing me up, he talked to me about the weather, and he seemed like a pretty nice guy. He also told me that they had just made these cookies so they were very fresh. I mentioned that the caramel covered apples looked really good, and he said people buy those all the time. I wanted to get one, but they were five dollars, and that was a lot to me. Eventually, we were all finished, and he told me to have a nice day.
The cookies I got:
*Oatmeal with raisins and walnuts
*Chocolate chunk full of chocolate with a piece of a chocolate bar on top
*They were both a bit bigger than a Subway cookie
*They were both very soft and tasted homemade
*They cost $1.09 a piece for a total of $2.28
The Downside:
To me, this store was a little expensive. Paying about $5.00 for a caramel apple (although they weren't just plain caramel apples; there were different kinds of nuts as well as white chocolate on some of them) was too much for me. I also thought the cookies were overpriced. They were good and big, but $1.09 is a bit much for a single cookie whenever you can literally walk a couple of feet to Subway and get several cookies for cheaper.

3.5/5 Good enough to try.
