"I am 44 years old now and I grew up on your candy.  My daughter is 25 and she also grew up on your candy!  Now she is married to a nice young man from Minnesota and he wishes he had grown up on your candy!  We have since moved to Warren, OH, but come to Erie often.  Romolos is our first stop, even before family visits, most times!  I have to have a chocolate-covered strawberry and my husband has to have a mallow cup.  Then we have to buy caramels and dark chocolate mint meltaway to send to the "kids." ...We all have our favorites!

"My parents and brothers have since moved to Colorado and, you guessed it, also have to send their favorites to them!  Now that you are on the web it might save me a little money because the "kids" and my family in Colorado can order their own!  

"Keep up the good work, you guys make the best candy."
--Cheryl Brocious, Warren, Ohio
