I was visiting Canton, OH so of course I had to drop by Ben Heggy's Candy Company. Heggy's is a…read morehistoric, family-owned confectioner known for its premium handcrafted chocolates, caramels, creams, and fresh-roasted nuts (cashews, peanuts, and pecans). It is a longstanding company since 1923, and this is its original location. They make small-batch recipes without preservatives. I got mostly milk chocolate with nuts, and some creams. I didn't enjoy the creams as much, but the chocolate was very tasty. Kind of reminded me of See's Candy, very nostalgic. The service was excellent. They were about to close, but they let me in and greeted me with friendly smiles. They also carry milk chocolate turtlelettes, roasted sesame sticks, flavored popcorn, old classic candy, and jellybeans. They have another location called Heggy's Nut Shop, which offers chocolate, burgers, and fries. Happy eating! Yelp Review #47- 2026

Always a flashback down memory lane! This location on Cleveland Ave is candy and nuts only. The…read morespacious parking lot is just south of the building on Cleveland Avenue. When entering the candy shop, you may be given a bag or metal bin to choose candy. The candy is primarily sold and weighed by the pound. You are able to pick and mix the candy in your bin whether you like dark chocolate, milk chocolate, caramels, maples, chocolate with pretzels etc. If you have friends and loved ones out of town, Heggys does have the option to have your chocolates mailed from their location across the country. A great idea for any occasion. People love their Heggys Chocolate and nuts Candy by the pound is around $15.50. There is also a nut counter with mixed nuts, pecans, hazelnuts, cashews and more. Behind the counter, workers work diligently individually wrapping various chocolates and caramels with each day being different candies for the week wrapped. A few of my personal favorites: milk chocolate marshmallows and the milk chocolate maple cremes. During Easter time, there will be an assortment of solid milk chocolate bunnies and crosses. However, don't wait until the last minute or else your favorite size may be gone.

I have specific cravings for their soft serve and when it hits, I HAVE to go here. Handel's,…read moreMitchell's, Jeni's just doesn't cut it. It's a pretty low maintenance little spot with no tables just by the parking lot. For how ancient this place is, they take credit card which I really respect. Cash only places give me the downers. They always have an interesting flavor(s) of the week or day. I've tried banana which was excellent. Their strawberry was kind of meh though. Believe it or not, their vanilla is the best flavor. Their soft serve is just impossibly smooth and they pile it high in the waffle cone. Heaven. I also like that they're open late and there is always a huge crowd even when it's pouring. The Goodyear blimps are nearby too!

Stricklands Frozen Custard is a local staple for frozen custard lovers in the Akron area. My…read moreparents used to talk this place up as if it was Akron's Best Kept Secret. Every once in a while I pick my mom up and drive her to Akron just so she can get her Strickland's fix. The staff at Strickland's Frozen Custard are super friendly and you can watch them build your dessert through the windows of this unique ice cream shack. Whether you are a milkshake , sundae, cone, cup or pup cup lover, Stricklands Frozen Custard is worth a try. Even with a rainy and dreary day like today, the traffic and line was steadily hopping. The frozen custard is decently priced. My medium vanilla cone was $5 and the small sundaes including small Arctic Twisters are under $6. There is even a bench or two around the building to enjoy your dessert.
