In this town, getting on someone’s good side can cost you a bundle.
So instead of soft money, give hard candy.
At Gifford’s Ice Cream & Candy Co., they’re reintroducing a line of homemade sweets made fresh daily, using original 1938 recipes. The candy offers amazing deliciousness in the form of butterscotches, turtles, caramels, truffles, chocolate-dipped pretzels, and chocolate-dipped marshmallows on a stick.
Of course, the stores also carry the full selection of ice cream, with favorite flavors like dulce de leche, peppermint stick, Swiss chocolate, bourbon vanilla, and black raspberry.
With all of that and homemade hot fudge to top it off, anyone can be won over.
Without your paying a mint (though you may want to spend that when the new Chevy Chase location opens next week).
