| - I was excited that Fears was coming to Lakewood. Unfortunately, they completely fell short of my expectations. Their offerings seemed meager: caramels , plain chocolates, and a nice assortment of brownies.
I bought about a dozen of the plain chocolates shaped like Space Invaders to pass out at lunch with friends. They were a hit with my video game playing nerd friends!
I bought the plain wrapped caramels. While tasty, they weren't extraordinary and didn't have the richness and complexity I expect from a caramel. That said, if I were in the neighborhood, I'd purchase these again, however I wouldn't go out if my way to get them.
The brownies. Ugh, they were dry and lacking flavor. I got the Frostbite brownie, which was a mint and chocolate flavored brownie . It was burnt. To the point it was inedible. It also didn't help that the brownie was the corner,which made it extra dry and burnt tasting.
I also purchased a dark chocolate peanut butter cup, which was pretty tasty.
Everything is reasonably priced, but there is just not much of a selection. The brownie was a total turnoff.
I still have high hopes for this place and I'll try it again.
Fingers crossed my next visit will be better.
