Looking for Philadelphia souvenirs that are actually worth buying? Skip the usual magnets and mugs and consider these five sweet, slightly offbeat treats that are only available at Mueller Chocolate Co. Whether you’re after unique Philly snacks, unforgettable gift ideas, or just want some incredible chocolate from Philadelphia, this list is your golden ticket.
Each one is handcrafted, totally original, and found only at Mueller’s:
1. Anatomically Correct Chocolate Heart
One of our most iconic creations. This lifelike, anatomically correct heart is made from rich, hand-poured chocolate and is perfect for medical professionals, science lovers, or anyone who’s into the delightfully unexpected. It’s weird, wonderful, and one of the most unique souvenirs in the city. (Don’t worry. It’s all heart, no arteries.)
2. Chocolate-Covered Tastykake Butterscotch Krimpets
This is Mueller’s spin on the beloved Philly snack cake, and trust us, it's next-level. These soft, sweet Krimpets come in three flavors: Chocolate-Covered Butterscotch (a nod to the classic Tastykake), Peanut Butter Dipped Jelly Krimpet, and Dark Chocolate Jelly Krimpit. Comfort food with a chocolatey twist — made fresh and found only at Mueller’s. A must-try for anyone who truly wants a taste of Philly.
3. The Chocolate Onion
A real onion. Dipped in real chocolate. Why? Because it’s Philly, and we like to keep things interesting. Whether you’re gifting it as a prank or daring your friends to take a bite, the chocolate onion is 100% unforgettable.
As seen in Ripley's Believe It or Not, Bizarre Foods, and more.
4. The Chocolate Tower
This is Mueller’s signature showstopper. The Chocolate Tower stacks layers of Rice Krispies Treats, Oreos, gooey marshmallows, rich Peanut Butter Cups, and classic Chocolate Chip Cookies — all dunked in luscious chocolate. It’s sweet on sweet on sweet, with just the right amount of crunch. Over-the-top? Absolutely. But that’s kind of the point.

5. Chocolate Covered Pretzels
Salty, sweet, and hand-dipped to perfection. These pretzels are a fan favorite for a reason. Choose from milk, dark, white chocolate — or go bold with peanut butter-dipped. Can’t pick just one? Try a half-and-half combo (like milk chocolate + peanut butter), or grab an assorted box and taste them all. Whether you're team salty-sweet or they all just look too good to choose, Mueller’s has a flavor for every kind of snacker.
These aren’t just snacks. They’re stories, souvenirs, and suitcase essentials. If you're hunting for chocolate from Philadelphia that’s bold, local, and totally one-of-a-kind, visit Mueller Chocolate Co. in the Reading Terminal Market — or shop online and bring a piece of Philly home with you. No cheesesteak required 😉
