All you chocolate elitists can turn your noses up at See's all you want.  I love it, and I always will.\n\nSee's was the \""special\"" candy my family tried to order every Christmas.  Back in those days before the internet (we still had 8-track tape players) at a time when no one really knew anything existed other than what you had seen, there was Russell Stover, Whitman's Samplers (that my cheap ass uncle was fond of giving in lieu of a real present), and See's.  There was no comparison.  See's was it.  I didn't even know they had stores then, much less stores that give out free candy just for coming in.  Kind of like a test drive without the pressure.\n\nAnd I still prefer See's over it's closest competitor to me, location-wise, Godiva.  Why?  Well, the free candy for one.  Number two, it doesn't cost $60 a pound, more like $16.  Granted, Godiva has prettier packaging and perhaps a better product, but not enough to compromise my loyalty.  \n\nI was recently saddened to see the store at Fashion Square close, but luckily, this one is nearby.  Much larger and easier to shop in, but my only complaint is that I had to stand in line with people hand-picking their boxes to pay for my pre-packaged items.  But since my husband was one of the pickers, I wasn't going anywhere until he was done anyway.  And his box was for me:)
