So when I saw one opening in Kingston almost a decade ago I just shrugged and kept going. After learning Dianne Reeder's story you realize this isn't your ordinary candy store. Yes they have over 400 kinds of candy you can buy in bulk and the store has your typical kitschy trinkets but if you look deeper it's where you find Diane's passion and empathy for others. She just wants to make your day a little easier and for you to leave happier than you came. Certainly this isn't hard when you're scooping Janes Ice cream and serving vegan homemade soft serve using Fruition chocolate and coconut milk. Even this is fairly common place in a world over run by NYC transplants expecting everything to be homemade and gluten free. Where Dianne is different, is her commitment to community. In 2005, Diane was the winner of the Microsoft/Bill Gates Start Something Amazing Award (a program honoring the unique and inspiring ways that people use Microsoft related technology to pursue their everyday passions) for her work bringing attention to food insecurity. Her passion for cooking and her desire to help others led her to find a nonprofit organization called The Queens Galley in Kingston. The work she did with the Kingston Farmers Market was instrumental in getting them to accept food stamps. Diane's mission to have people come together and break bread in dignity has now spread across the country. Her commitment even landed her a diner at the Whitehouse with President Obama. To add to her resume she graduated the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park while raising 3 kids and running the candy bar. But let's get to the point. Diane is a pillar of the community where everybody knows her name. But what about the food? Just sitting outside snacking on my freshly roasted nuts (still warm) sipping on my 72hr steeped Lavazza cold brew I'd say simply perfect. Don't miss the carrot cake doughnut topped with maple walnuts and stuffed with macerated pineapple. The passion fruit and blackberry parfait or those rainbow cookie tricolor doughnuts. They have a sweet for everyone! Kingston Candy Bar might not be the hippest spot on the block but the love Diane puts into her work is palpable.

It smells like straight-up old-school candy- not just one kind, but all of it at once. There are candy necklaces, rock sugar crystal sticks, lollipops, Mike & Mike's, Red Hots,, bagged milk chocolates, Pocky sticks and British chocolates- to name a few. Behind the counter is Caiden- who enlightened me on the British chocolate! Thank you- it was freaking delicious! I was also looking for vanilla and chocolate Now & Later- but doesn't carry those. I also picked up a couple of single candies like Toosie Rolls and a few others that were a penny each back in the day. These are 25¢. Listen, you can get candy from the supermarket and stuff- but there's something timeless (at least for me) about going to the candy store.

I picked up some chocolate covered s'mores and dark chocolate covered espresso beans. Both absolutely delicious. I also got a box of some other goodies. Everything was great, fresh and perfectly sweet. Add this spot to your list if you're in the area.

My favorites are the dark chocolate "jelly ring" (although it's not a ring, but rather a cube), and the milk chocolate covered pretzels. Both items are simply off the charts good.

There is one huge problem though......After tasting a confectionery treat from here, you'll never want to go back to the commercialized garbage you find in most stores. Get here. Try some. Enjoy tremendously.
