    Talk about a kid's haven! This place is cram-packed from floor to ceiling with all kinds of toys. Got a picky kiddo? Surely you could find them something here! They have soft, cuddly toys. They have science gizmos and gadgets! They have card games, board games, whozits and whatzits galore! They even had games like Settlers of Catan and other games for older kids/adults. And if you're looking to kill time, most kids would love hanging out in here checking out the giant dinos, airplanes, carousel horses, etc. Great place to get your Christmas shopping done!

    Assortment of bulk candies.  DO NOT BUY.  The candy is super old, and really hard.

    A/C is broken. It's hotter than Hades in there. We couldn't even stay to look at the toys.

    Exceptional choices! A little hard to find but worth the drive! Oh yes! Highly recommendread more

    I learned about Startup Candy Co only recently when Rockwell Ice Cream announced they'd purchased…read moreit. They said they would make no changes, and this has enabled a historical candy company to continue producing and selling their special wares, so bravo! They have very limited hours: 11am-3pm, and only on weekdays so it is a bit of a challenge getting here. But on President's Day I was off work, and I checked ahead of time to verify they were open, so made the trek down to Provo. They are housed in a strip of brick buildings shared with other businesses, and though I arrived around 11:30, the shop door was locked. I have the worst luck when I am set on visiting somewhere in particular, and the whole way there I kept saying that they wouldn't be open, considering I had to drive nearly an hour just to get there, so it felt unsurprising. Thankfully, though, as I turned away they unlocked the door. I imagine they do little actual business through this store, so probably don't stress too much about making sure the door is open, and clearly they can hear from inside. The point of this rambling story is simply to persevere, or perhaps call them, if you arrive during normal business hours and they don't appear to be open. The shop interior is just one small room, and honestly, there was very little product. They've got a variety of about twenty or so lollipops, including some seconds, their Magnolia candy (teeny hard candies with a perfumed liquid center), caramel popcorn, chocolate covered cinnamon bears, and a couple other chocolate covered goodies (including their Opera bar...more on that in a moment!). I inquired if they still had the chocolate covered caramels they'd shared on IG, but they were unfortunately out, though offered that Rockwell should have some. I was a bit crestfallen, as there was so little there, it was all milk chocolate save for the Black Bears, and I'd rather had my heart set on the caramel, but that was a Valentine's Day special, so the onus was on me to confirm their availability. Anyways, I bought Black Bears (dark chocolate covered cinnamon bears) and an Opera Bar, eschewing the planned for Magnolias once I read they had artificial flavoring (though now I wish I would have at least tried a little tin). The Opera bar was the number one thing I wanted as I imagined it would be close to one of my favorite things in the world: Opera Fudge from Lebanon, Pennsylvania. While the milk chocolate coating it was horrid (like...not even chocolate. Might as well have been candy melts for all the chocolate flavor it gave), the filling was EXACTLY like the opera fudge of my dreams. Not an ooey, melty fondant, but thick, rich, and lusciously creamy. They had a box of cream chocolates too, which I imagine might be made with the same filling, and I hope those are someday offered in dark chocolate as that would basically make all my wishes come true. And the cinnamon bears were very good! The dark chocolate was pleasantly bitter, and the perfect foil to the sweet, not super spicy cinnamon gummies. Side note regarding opera fudge, then I promise I'll be finished as this is inordinately long for a simple candy shop: Opera fudge is commonly believed to have originated in Cincinnati, Ohio around 1905, though Pennsylvanians claim it as their invention, too. Startup has been producing their Opera Bar since 1895, which predates both regions' mention of the candy, and while they don't claim to be the original (though the package notes it was possibly the first filled candy bar ever?!), they actually might be, and regardless, it is pretty dang awesome, especially paired with the packaging adorned by the original artwork. And lastly, Startup deserves mad respect because I attempted to make this candy at home THREE times in one day and they were all fails (sugar crystallized on me, boo!). Overall, three to four stars for the product (artificial flavors and gross milk chocolate are a 1-2, but good dark chocolate and amazing opera fudge are 4-5), so four stars overall as the owner was clearly concerned with my being pleased with the experience, they still operate out of the charming mustard-bricked building they moved to in 1898 (they were actually producing candy way before then. Read the history on their website-it's very interesting!), and I love sweet (hahaha) local businesses like this. I'm just pleased they've hung around for over 150 years.

    When I walk into the Candy Barrel, one word comes to mind: Nostalgia…read more From the homemade fudge, to the ice creams (about a dozen selections from Leatherby's) ready to be coned, to the barrels of old candy favorites, to the caramel apples, to the taffy, this store is a walk down cavity lane ... err, I mean memory lane. Of the barrels, my personal fave is the one filled with mini candy bars ... it's like my childhood Halloween candy stash all over again. You'll find a barrel of red licorice, barrels of Pop Rocks, a barrel of of swizzle sticks, a barrel of Starburst, plenty of taffy (including the original McCrain's flats), several barrels of different gums, chocolates, Smarties, Tootsie Roll pops, lollipops, candy buttons, and just about every hard candy you could imagine. And, if you've just finished a big Italian or Mexican meal, you even get your after-dinner mint on with the round peppermint candy-cane type candy. There's some newer stuff thrown in: I saw some Harry Potter jelly beans in the joint. Prices are low ... most things in that $.99, $1.49, $1.99 range. And, even better, you can RENT barrels from them! I love this place. Your dentist may have another opinion.

    The guy who works here is kinda rude. Candy is over priced and hard. There is a sign that says free…read moresamples for fudge and when I asked for a sample he gave me some. It was hard. So I didn't want to purchase any. Then he gave me a hard time for not buying any after I tried it. Wtfreak. Lol
