Sweet Treats And Celebrity Owners Make This Hudson Valley Shop Special

Not only is there a celebrity owned candy shop in the Hudson Valley, it is one of the finest sweet shops in America.

Samuel's Sweet Shop, at 42 East Market Street, in Rhinebeck, NY was recently named one of the 10 Best Candy Shops in America by USA Today. By the way, did you know this quaint little sugar shack is owned by actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan, actress Hilarie Burton Morgan and actor Paul Rudd?
