Down by the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk, Out & About….Memorial for Newtown, CT Victims….Ibach’s Candy by the Sea, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware
It was around 3:45 p.m. today, Thursday, 12/21….supposedly our last day on this planet. I figured I should go and visit the Boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach, just in case. That salt air does something….it was quiet on the Boardwalk. Where was everyone? It was really the perfect time of the day for R & R.
The wreaths went up today. A memorial for the victims of last week’s tragedy. They are right by Santa’s House. That’s already causing a bit of “chatter”. Some questioned, why there; others think it is the perfect spot. Here is the photo. You decide.
It was just a matter of time; a few others were taking pictures, as well.
Continuing on my walk I decided to stop at Ibach’s, located at 9 Rehoboth Ave. in Downtown Rehoboth Beachy. Tel. 302-227-2870. The story is that “Dolle’s Candyland was established in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, by co-founders Thomas Pachides and Rudolph Dolle. Following the passing of Mr. Pachides at the age of 92, his grandson, Thomas Ibach, took over the family business. In 1991, seeing the need for a quality chocolate, Mr. Ibach opened Ibach’s Candy by the Sea”. The rest is history.
Ibach’s specialy is handmade and handcoated chocolates. They are of excellent quality and so fresh.
Dolle’s Ibach’s fudge does not contain any preservatives. They need to make it every second day. It is considered one of the best in Rehoboth Beach.
Ibach’s is a small store. Today I was looking for some of their chocolates in the shapes of seashells. I did find them. They were individually wrapped. Some of my neighbors will get some.
There is a special going on: Milk, Dark, Peanut Butter and White Nonpariels, along with the Milk and Dark Chocolate Pretzels are $17.95 per pound. Note: No mix and match with regular priced chocolates.
Ibach’s is small and very familiar.
On one side there is every flavor of Jelly Belly jelly beans.
Ibach’s makes all their chocolates, except the truffles. Since they are part of Dolle’s, their Salt Water Taffy and Caramel Corn are the same.
Stop by this week-end because they will be closing for a well deserved rest after Christmas, until February. Have a good one!!
