"It could be the new chowder," candy house customer Curtis Jackson told Stevens. "Every time I give a gift, this is the first place I come to purchase a gift for someone. And everyone loves them."
Customers at the Dorchester candy store seemed thrilled that Walsh included the candy shop.
"I think this is the best way to go. This is an excellent way to go. There's no other way," one customer said.
