CANDYLAND!
This would not normally be a stop for me but since I'm with my candy loving daughter...
This store is all about sugar, so beware! If you can imagine it or remember it, they probably have it. I was really shocked when I looked on one of the lower shelves and noticed what looked like a raw nut mix. What?? That's a good start because parents need options. However, I am not going to purchase my nut mix at a candy store because I would be worried about freshness. People come in for candy so they aren't necessarily interested in nuts. Also, with them being located so low on the shelf they are probably rarely noticed. These factors mean that there is probably a slow turnover and less likely to be fresh. As you know, stale nuts are just not okay!
I ended up purchasing hard candy for my daughter and chocolate for my husband. I did not purchase anything for myself because the chocolate in these stores is likely to be more processed, higher in sugar and not even close to fine chocolate which is my favorite. I tried the toffee and it was WAY too sweet so there is no way I could even approach that turtle, (my husband's personal favorite). Today is not about me, it is about my Boos and they get what THEY like. This store has a great selection for all candy lovers to explore.

"chillin". A little chocolate sounds great so I go ahead and try a bit of that monster turtle even though I never eat them because they are usually sickeningly sweet. When I break a piece off, I notice that they were not stingy with the nuts. As I proceed to taste it, I am taken aback! It is actually very good an not too sweet all. I STAND CORRECTED! It was the perfect bit, smooth delicious, lightly sweetened chocolate with a generous supply of pecans. Perfect!! I will definitely purchase this treat again on my next visit. I highly recommend this turtles, you won't be disappointed! read more
