The ancient Aztecs used chocolate to sculpt ceremonial statues of sharp-toothed jaguars, spear-wielding warrior gods, and a mysterious bunny deity known only as Flopsy. Celebrate the advent of this ambrosial substance with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of chocolate, candies, and gifts from Mary Sue Candies' online store. Customers can pick up their purchases at Glauber's Candy in Lutherville-Timonium or have them delivered directly to their homes for an additional shipping fee ($8.34+).

The skilled confectioners at Mary Sue Candies have been quelling the cries of Maryland’s sweet teeth with handmade, preservative-free treats since 1948. For starters, feast on strips of almond bark ($15.50 for 16 oz.) harvested from the nation’s oldest bonbon forests, or let teeth saw through the nutty crust of a pecan nougat log ($2.49 for 3 oz.) to free the nougaty nature-spirits imprisoned inside. Alternately, the handmade salt water taffy ($4.99 for 16 oz.) whisks tongues away on a sugar-laced seaside sojourn, while a 16-ounce box of nuts and chews chocolates ($15.90) lets mouths practice athletic jawrobics on Mary Sue’s most popular caramels and clusters.
