    This location includes both a candy shoppe and the factory. When you initially enter, you are greeted by all of the wonderous wall-to-wall chocolates you can find at the candy shoppes. A real draw is the giant buckeye on display behind a glass case that is very fun and impressive to see. You also check in here for tours, which you can schedule online in advance or walk in and hope they have openings. We had registered online previously, so it was just a quick check-in with name for us. Everyone receives a coupon for their ticket for use in the shoppe afterwards - $2 off per $4 ticket. Our tour guide greeted us and had us follow her down the hallway that connects the shoppe to the factory, where she gave us an introduction to the history of the company and how chocolate is grown and delivered (they now receive it in massive tanker trucks full of liquid chocolate!). Once you leave the hallway and enter the factory, photos cannot be taken. The factory lines allow you to see the different areas, which include a warm space where they work with pouring chocolate into molds and preparing candies, which are then taken by conveyer belt to the cold room to be packaged. Our tour guide also explained when machines can be used and when things have to be done by hand. And yes, it smelled delightful in there! At the end of the tour, we returned to the shoppe where we were each given a buckeye to enjoy as we perused the options. We ended up with a chocolate bar, several of the seasonal chocolate eggs with different fillings, dinosaur chocolate pops, and more. There is plentiful parking out front. Fun little tour!

    Factory store has a giant buckeye, and a 50+ lb Santa. These are differently the best buckeyes. The other chocolates are very good too. Hope to be able to go on the tour someday. Pro tip, if you want some "loose" buckeyes, get them from the counter, they are less cost than the individual pre wrapped ones. Our favorite molded chocolate is the bowling one, it can be gifted to a bowler, or for a gag gift.

    Interesting trip inside. Not as elaborate setup in the execution space as I was envisioning. Meaning there was a decent amount of space between ginormous mixers, conveyor belts and big refrigerators. Small conveyor belts squirt chocolate and other fillings into molds. Warm areas for melting the chocolate, and there's cool areas where the freezing and packaging happens. But, at any rate, the walking tour of the factory was cool. These ladies seemed to know there stuff. A new tour leaves the gift shop area every 15-20 minutes, so they have this down to a science. The tour concludes with a buckeye for every patron. Nice touch! Oh, and your ticket will get you a discount on any candies, after the tour. Every adult ticket gets $2 off. Every child's ticket gets $1 your entire purchase. Enjoy!

    Easter season is quickly upon us and the perfect opportunity to take a tour of the Anthony Thomas Factory. Growing up, Anthony Thomas candies were a tradition with my grandparents. It is nice to visit this throwback of tasty treats.

    The factory tour is a great - inexpensive day trip to do with the kids! Tuesdays-Thursdays you can head over for the factory tour. It was $2 for me and $1 per each kid. However, we received a dollar off coupon per each dollar spent towards any candy you purchase. So ultimately, its free as long as you spend a buck in the shop. The tour - was an elevated catwalk that overlooked each part of the candy making/packaging process. It was super cool to see the machines in action, oozing chocolate! The employees looked happy as they worked; I guess who could frown surrounded by that much chocolate. The history of the business was pretty interesting - family business. They have 13 shoppes that sell their candies. They contract for larger businesses too. Samples at the end (along with the coupons you got earlier) put you in the mood to buy some more as the tour ends in the gift shop. I brought home choc. covered marsh mellows, truffles, caramels, buckeyes and rock candy. Only spent six bucks and some change - much less than I would have spent at Chocoholique. Love me some sweet treats!

    All this (minus a gifted egg) was $25. The bunny and sampler are sugar free, which are naturally the most expensive.

    You've been driving down 270 and witnessed their large pink bunny atop their building. The location's no mystery-sign says Anthony Thomas. What is a mystery is what's inside that building. Chocolate. Milk chocolate, dark chocolate, sugar-free chocolate, chocolate covered fruit, Buckeyes, bulk candy and more. All this can be bought in the store found inside that huge bunny building. All this can be experienced though a factory tour, which, I haven't taken yet, but will. I mean, why not? I stopped in for the first time to see if they had anything for Easter. If-pssh. If, he says. They had EVERYTHING you could need for Easter baskets. Jelly Beans (including Spice and Black), molded hollow bunnies, solid bunnies and lambs, a giant $300 solid bunny for photo ops (and for purchase), colorful rock sugar candy and chocolate covered creme eggs. A flavor that stood out was the Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel. What's great is that they had sugar-free Easter themed candy, which provides a fun option for those who can't enjoy sugar. Finding the shop can get a little tricky. It's not hard, but not as easy as it is spotting it from 270. My best suggestion is to Map It and keep your eyes open for what Morgan D included in her photos. The area is a little industrial and there's a good amount of parking but I'm sure it gets full during their candy sales. Looking forward to Valentine's.

    Buckeye Candy Company has 29 reviews, 28 of them are 5 stars. There's a good reason for this…read more It's a great candy store that's filled full of almost every kind of sweets and chocolates you can imagine from, hard to find, to retro and imports. What are some of my favorite chocolate bars that I found? Aero Zagnut Clark Heath Zero Chik 'O Stix Curly Whirly Skor (I just wish they'd carry Roshen brand, from Ukraine. One of the "hidden gems" in the chocolate world). Anyways, it's a great specialty shop to explore for yourself. You'll find many of your old favorites and maybe something new to try. 5 stars And Here's Another Morsel For You To Nibble On: * Use your Yelp check-in to get a 10% discount. * Wanting a gift for someone? How about getting them a selection of unusual chocolate bars? * They also have an interesting selection of sodas. * Be sure to check out their markdown section for some great deals!

    I haven't updated since they moved? Well, they moved, down the street a bit, into the old Swan…read moreCleaners. About 4 times as big, still stuffed with good things. Nostalgic candy, the latest TikTok trends, imports, seasonal, etc. Right now a lot of fun Christmas things. Raindeer poop gummies, old-fashioned ribbon candy, and much more. Plus some pop, fudge, bulk stuff, and a clearance table. Fun place, nice owners, astonishing assortment of treats.
