Maine Blueberry Candy from Len Libby Candies in Scarborough, Maine.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Len Libby Candies in Scarborough, Maine has pleased locals and visitors with its candies since 1926 but not in the typical candy house way.<\/p>\n

Instead of just relying on making just handmade chocolates — not that there’s anything wrong with that — Len Libby’s has included heaping portions of creativity in the mix. One such example: The Maine Blueberries. No, not just the fruit. Len Libby makes this one with layers of white and milk chocolate covering locally-sourced blueberries. The result reveals a completely unique, delicious candy that often results in eating more than a handful at one sitting. Additionally, visitors love to bring Maine Blueberry candies home as a wonderful memory of their Maine travels.<\/p>\n

Another highlight that you won’t see anywhere else: Lenny, a 1,700 lb. chocolate moose on display inside Len Libby Candies. As the world’s only life-sized chocolate moose, Lenny is made from an armature of steel, wrapped in mesh, covered with 10-pound blocks of chocolate and attached by melting chocolate onto the frame. He resides by a pond made with white chocolate and tinted for a realistic effect. What’s more, Lenny stands right next to a 380-pound chocolate mother bear and two 80-pound cubs situated. The scene features more Maine ambiance as the animals are situated by a Maine cabin by a pond and the mountains. Credit goes to Zdeno Mayercak, a sculptor and former instructor at the Maine College of Art in Portland, Maine, who created Lenny in 1997!<\/p>\n
