Ozark Maid offers Taffy and other candies sold by the pound. They sell over ten flavors of…read morehomemade Fudge. They also sell Jelly Belly, Nostalgic Candies, and Chocolates. However this is not just a candy store. This is a great store to stop at for a gift. Soup mix kits, spices, jellies, and hot sauces are popular items. They also sell Tervis, Mizzou items, and novelty gifts. The section I liked the best was full of lake and beach house decorations. Ozark Maid sells San Sabra Peach Pecan Amaretto Jelly. This Jelly is hands down the best thing on Earth. You can use it on everything from toast, biscuits, and scones to Ice Cream. Trust me, you want to pick up a jar today! I will be back in my next visit to the Lake.

I got an alert that the order was shipped really quickly, and it was packaged very nicely and securely. There was even a wrapped and sealed ice pack in the box to keep them cool! This is the first place I've ordered from that has taken that level of care My favorite has been the thin mints, the mint is perfectly smooth and sweet but isn't overpowering~ The fudge is also to die for, it's so rich and perfect!Thank you so much, will definitely be recommending to friends for gifts and holidays!!

Goin' old school!…read more Remember the days of going to the candy store and having whomever put stuff in the bag while you go "...and then one Sqirty Sour, 2 Knackle Drops, another Squirty Sour, 2 Grape Fizzly Sticks..."? Ya me neither, I'm too young for that. But that's what this place is! Half the store is taffy, 40% is candy you buy as stated above, the rest are odds and ends. The lady behind the counter had always been extremely nice and patient with everyone. And it's in a great location! Recommended

Fun store! So many Taffy flavors! I could have bought bags and bags of candy here, I was in heaven…read more I just got a few pieces because I'm taking it easy on sugar. The prices are unbeatable and the lady working at the counter is super sweet. If you want candy, this is your place!

Wide selection of world-class chocolates with fast service and fair prices. Perfect place for…read moreholiday gifts, to share a taste of Joplin with visitors, or just to keep around the house or office for a satisfying treat. Admittedly, my wife comes in here a few times a year to buy gifts but it was my first time going inside with her. She might wish I had not as I started filling her basket with goodies for the holidays. I'm diabetic so I also keep an eye out for no-sugar-added or sugar-free options. I was not disappointed, they have a mixed box of no added sugar chocolates that is missing nothing in taste and if people did not know it had less sugar they would never guess. Don't mind the location and the sketchy area of town, I would guess it helps them keep costs low and allows them to provide such great quality at reasonable prices. This shop is definitely worth a visit. And don't forget to watch them make chocolates and other treats thru the big windows across the entire side of the shop.

Just walking in the door sent me to my happy place. I was literally like a kid in a candy store…read more The smell of chocolate was strong and lovely. The staff was very sweet to give me some recommendations. I say if you're in Joplin or even just driving through stop and say hi to the folks at Candy House Gourmet!

Highly recommend you stop on your way in/leaving Lake of the Ozarks…read more We stopped before heading to drop off our bags and it was so cute! This place has a multitude of stuff to grab for snacks or to take as gifts. There's all different kinds of popcorn, treats, and a chocolate counter where you can fill your own box of chocolates, as well as a coffee stand. It's got a lot of great stuff but it is a tight squeeze inside. This was perfect to get my caffeine fix & to grab an assorted box of chocolates (which were very yummy). The staff was super helpful with picking out chocolates and paying and the ladies working the coffee were quick & efficient. There's lots of parking and a nice scenic point of the lake from their parking lot.

The place was busy on Thursday. Should have listened to my gut when choosing a bag of popcorn…read morethough. Cracker Jack lover for the candy covered peanuts alone, I bought a bag of Caramel Cashew. I noticed that there weren't any bags missing from that shelf, whereas I noticed the other shelved popcorn was being purchased by customers. So I dig into the bag of Caramel Cashew and didn't get any cashews. I took the bag home and emptied it out to get to the nuts which I figured were at the bottom. No such luck. In fact I counted 7 cashews, none of which had an iota of caramel. Looks like they grabbed a bag of caramel popcorn and threw a few cashews in it. Disappointed

There's a "freak show" with live two headed animals, animals in jars that are abnormal, three legs, two heads, you name it lol. It's soooo weird in there! Definitely for the creepy crew! There's a lot to see but not enough lol, and worth a stop!

What an interesting experience. I'd been wanting to stop in to see what the hype is all about…read more Nothing to exciting. There are some things to look at and some photo ops and a store. The store holds some super oldies in candy and shirts and other items for purchase. The people at the register great you and also carry on at the register (kind of funny).
