Like most other reviewers, my stop here was a sentimental one: Ben Heggy's was my grandma's favorite candy shop when she grew up in Canton in the 1940s. But even without that connection, I truly adored this place! The set-up here is unlike anything I've ever seen, and assuming it hasn't changed much since it opened nearly 100 years ago, I can see how it would leave any kid wide-eyed and in love! All the candies are individually wrapped, and there's no display case separating them from customers. You grab a metal container, slip on some gloves, and grab what you like! Then, they weigh your selection, transfer the candies into a bag, and you pay at the counter. When my total was so much less than I expected, I took the container back and went down the line for a second round. The people working here were also so kind. They advised me on the most popular varieties and gave me all kinds of insider tips and stories that added to the small-town chocolate shop feel that was absolutely one-of-a-kind. You can order online for nation-wide shipping, but the in-store experience adds so much. I hope in 50 years, this place is still around so I can bring my future grandkids here to experience all that is Ben Heggy's too. Bonus: the chocolates were also really really good. The chocolate-covered caramels never even made it out of the car!

If you are looking for a Canton classic, Heggy's is it. They have various types of chocolates, candies and nuts that are available by bulk. You can choose to get a premixed box, or have them make a box up with your own assortment, or just grab a bag and choose whatever you'd like. The ingredients are clearly labeled for any allergies. Then the candy/nuts get weighed and you're on your way. It's a tradition for a lot of people in the Canton area to get Heggy's candies. The candy is fresh. Usually when you walk in, the workers are wrapping freshly made chocolates ready for you. There's a parking lot right next to the building.

Gift Boxes of hand made chocolates. I order several pounds per year.

The store in downtown Canton is not fancy, but that is okay.

I was introduced to Malley's in Lakewood. A local Cleveland area favorite, I was excited when we…read moregot one here in North Canton a few years back. The pecan billy-bobs are my favorite. Buckeyes here are okay, but not the best in northeast Ohio. I also love the sugared grapefruit candies. They are soooo good. I could eat a million of them. This is a relatively small storefront, but the one in Lakewood is the real deal. I especially love the locations that have an ice cream counter. Their hot fudge is delicious. In fact my mouth is watering right now, just thinking about a turtle sundaes with toppings from Malley's. Yummmmmmmm

Malley's used to be my favorite chocolate. I tend to always purchase the same items--Billybobs, and…read morea variety of the chocolate bars. I rarely visit any of the Malley's stores on a regular basis because none were nearby... Maybe that is why I craved my favorite Billybobs so much. Fast forward many years, I visited this store to get my usual Billybobs, chocolate almond bar, and chocolate bar with pretzels. Not sure if my tastebuds have changed, or their chocolate recipe has changed, but I was not crazy about the chocolate. Plus, the pretzel chocolate bar, the pretzel was a tad too salty Compared to some of the other chocolate brands that I have been eating lately (one is chocolate bar from Aldi), these other chocolates are 100% better tasting than Malley's. These other chocolates are creamier, taste more expensive, and for less price than Malley's. I have to say, I will no longer crave Malley's chocolate, especially since I can get other brands that taste better and not so expensive. Also I noticed that Malley's chocolate bars are smaller than I remember.. The positives: excellent customer service, and the store is always bright, clean and inviting!
