A Sweet Groupon Deal on Chocolate Tasting at Preston's Ice Cream and Candy

Preston's Candy & Ice Cream, a family-owned manufacturing and retail candy and ice cream business in Burlingame makes their candy in small batches to ensure freshness and high quality.

In 1946, after serving in the U.S. Army in World War II, Art Preston used a GI Bill loan to open his own candy store, and Preston's Candy & Ice Cream has been in business at the same location ever since, bringing delicious tastes and wholesome confections to residents of Burlingame and the surrounding counties, and around the world.

Art retired in1997, but since then he's been passing along his candy-making expertise and internationally acclaimed recipes to the new candy artisans, who maintain that same commitment to quality and freshness.

Preston's candies have won many international awards, including the Grand Champion Medallion of the International Truffle Competition for three years in a row, as well as numerous awards in the Retail Confectioners International competition.

Of course you can order your sweet treats online, but you’ll want to visit the store during regular business hours 7 days a week.  This week, there’s a Groupon deal for a two-hour chocolate-tasting class with take-home treats for two for just $40.  You’ll begin with a tour the candy factory, including a traditional candy kitchen with antique tools and a climate-controlled room where the finished candies are stored.  You’ll see how the chocolate is made and will taste the chocolate and pair it with other candies.  Finally, you sample various kinds of chocolate while discovering new flavor qualities and favorites, and you’ll leave with a bag of assorted goodies.  There are just a few days left, so click here to get your deal.
