Dean’s Sweets- Portland, ME

Why we chose it

Dean’s Sweets stood out as a specialty chocolate shop offering nut-free options — something that always catches our attention when traveling.

Our experience

Families with nut allergies know that walking into a chocolate shop is typically not an option. Therefore, discovering a shop that offers 100% nut-free candy felt like a huge victory. Seeing your child's eyes light up when they can choose ANYTHING in the store is worth driving any distance to help them feel like a normal kid. We confirmed the ingredients and felt confident in our selections before making a purchase. Finding nut-free candy while traveling always feels like a win. The delicious chocolate for our road trip to Bar Harbor made the experience even better.
