First of all, how could you not love a candy store called "Fuzziwigs"? We wandered in during the off season so no masses of children, in fact we had the place to ourselves. We were able to take in the incredible variety of candy offered along with our own childhood nostalgia for all of the candy you don't see sold in normal stores today. We left with some turtles and english toffee which was incredible. I ate it all in one sitting, no shame. You have to stop in here and try something from their counter at least! read more

Huge selection of candy, fudge, and chocolates. The dark chocolate covered peaches were so good that we actually had to go back to get more. We also loved the dark chocolate peanut butter cups. Everything tasted very fresh and we even watched them make the caramel to dip the apples in. The staff were very friendly and it's a fun store to walk around- I would highly recommend! read more

Indeed, its a store with a huge selection of interesting candies. That is the good part. Its grossly overpriced and you are presented with a tip menu at the checkout line, that starts at 18%. FOR WHAT??? Its a ripoff, go to target and buy a bag of candy for 3 bucks. read more

Fuzziwig's! The perfect Vail candy shop and a fun alternative to their lovely competitor. Bringing joy and entertainment to kids in Vail for generations now. Highly recommend for families, candy enthusiasts, or anyone looking for a fun stop in the heart of the village. :) read more

Has tons of candies; from sweet to salty. Always have to check this place out when I'm in town. However, I wish the store was a tab bit bigger, the front door/counter can get crowded pretty quickly when there are a lot of people in the store. read more

The Vail store sells candy to kids that can cause severe harm. My 12 yo son went to the store, purchased an extremely hot gummy, took the gummy candy, and ultimately had a reaction that led to EMS being called. The box specifically says in small print to be consumed by adults only, yet the cashier still sold it to a child, didn't warn my son, and didn't ask for ID to prove he was 18 and over. When my wife went to the store to warn them that they shouldn't sell that specific candy to kids because of the risk involved (hoping to prevent other kids from having the same reaction), the manager blew it off and essentially said there are warnings on the box. In speaking to my son, he thought it was a marketing ploy on the box, didn't really understand how hot it could be, the units of heat, and didn't understand the risk involved. We sent the kids to the store to buy candy thinking it was a kids' candy store, and that the risk would be essentially zero from a consumption standpoint. The response from this store was disappointing. If an adult is with child, then I understand the parents have a responsibility to mitigate risk. However, if you send kids into a proper candy store to buy candy unaccompanied, then there's an element of responsibility on the store to not sell adults-only candy to children. It was pretty clear that the manager wasn't interested, and I've reached out for the owner to call me. read more

So many different candies. As many as you can imagine! Even ones from a long time ago that I haven't seen around lately. It was a pretty sweet little store. We will definitely be back! read more

Worst experience. Tried to sell us opened candy in open wrapper. We were yelled at, mocked and screamed at. My child was yelled at and belittled in a condescending way. We will never return after many years of going there. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. read more

BEST ICE CREAM EVER! What a selection! My head was spinning! Old-fashioned hard candies from the 1920s & 30s are back! I can't think of anything that was missing. Most people I observed bought a small amount of candy "for the moment." My personal favorites are the Truffles & Fudge. Friendly young staff recognize me & know what I usually buy! read more

Love Fuzziwigs, but absolutely offended by the tip screen. Really? I need to tip you for scanning 3 items? And the the young woman working the register kept the screen flat and stared at it as I tapped "no tip". Most people have the class to give you a little privacy. read more

Me and my friends, are very mad at the lady in the vail candy factory because we arrived at the candy factory to get ice cream at 8:45pm and the candy store closes at 9:00pm they did not let us in, there were also other people trying to get in! The lady was also rude and said "bye bye little kids" She was eating ice cream while the store was closed. Thursday, 5 January 2023 8:50pm - 9:00pm read more

Friendly staff and awesome selection of candy. Definitely a must to take your kids here or to get your fill on sugar. I think it's a must stop for any tourists or locals. read more

This candy store has it all. Stopped in for fudge, and also purchased chocolate covered Oreos, peanut clusters, chocolate covered Twinkie, and a "Moreo" (a Reese's peanut butter cup placed in the middle of an Oreo cookie and the entire thing dipped in chocolate). They also served ice cream and non-chocolate candies. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 - the choc covered Twinkie didn't have much flavor. Everything else tasted great! read more

This place sucks. Stopped by to try to buy some candy at 8:50PM after dinner and they were "closed" even though the official closing time is at 9 PM. I guess they don't care about getting the business. Sad to see on a Saturday night in a resort town. read more

The store itself is small but the candy is packed wall-to-wall. We went for the ice cream because they have good prices for their ice cream, which they hand scoop for you. read more

Great selection of candy, old school candy, international candy, sodas, etc. the shop is in a great location, many other storefronts around to visit. read more

This fuzzywigs is the most professional and clientele loving place. I don't know why anyone would feel the need to add a review about their child buying a candy without their supervision. This is a candy store not a liquor store, and definitely not a daycare where your children are watched every step of the way. The packaging says world's hottest, not world's most ambiguously spicy candy. Keep up the good work, fuzzywigs. Also, the guy with the tattoos is one of the kindest gentlemen ever. read more

BEWARE! Fuzziwigs sells the worlds hottest gummy bear. All fun and games until they sell it to a kid and 911 needs to be called. When telling the manager, he responds with a shrug and a terse "warnings are written all over the box." Nice. No "sorry to hear that happened but there are warnings on the box" or "we'll do our best to not sell to kids without an adult present". Great business you're running there that appeals mostly to children... read more

You gotta love a place where you can still get a Zagnut and a Clark's Bar. Cashier was very friendly, funny and helpful. She even did some up selling. "did you want a turtle with that today?" "Yes... Yes I would" $38 for a heavy bag of Oreo fudge, chocolate covered Twinkie, dark chocolate, caramel pretzel clusters and God knows what else. They got ice cream, too. Isn't it a lot cheaper at Cosco or Walmart? Yes... Yes it is. read more

This place was awesome. Walked in after dinner and was greeted by Blake (partial owner) who was extremely sweet - pun intended. He explained all of the different options they had and was knowledgeable on gluten free options. I decided on the m&m covered caramel apple and I'm not exaggerating when I say it's one of the best things I, and the rest of my family, have ever tasted. Highly recommend read more

The one thing that really made me like this place is how much candy they had that isn't really sold anymore. Candy that I remember eating when I was growing up and that I haven't seen in many years. I got some ice cream, which was alright, nothing special. The freshly-made chocolates were pretty good. But, the candy from the 1980s and earlier is what I loved! read more

Obviously I would be the first person to review a new candy store in Vail that is totally marketed towards children -- located where the Laughing Monkey used to be (or, as I like to call it, the weirdest clothing store ever to stay in business for 15 years) -- Fuzziwig's is a welcome addition to the village. In contrast to Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Fuzziwig's is DIY -- a nightmare for parents whose children will then proceed to fill entire bags with vast amounts of candy they cannot consume, but like the best holiday ever for a neurotic glutton with a sweet tooth like me! They must be doing something right though, and I say this for several reasons: 1) My cousin who is crazy allergic to peanuts was so enraptured by the 20 colors of M & Ms he could mix together that he filled a bag with a lovely coral, orange mixture EVEN THOUGH HE COULD NOT EAT THEM. He just wanted to look at them. 2) In Steamboat (I think?), they ran Rocky Mountain out of business in 1 year. While RMCF has been in Vail since 1983, Fuzziwig's was packed each time I went in there. 3) Selection is chocolate heavy, but also with a lot of Jelly Bellies, ice cream, and gummy candies for those who are crazy and do not like the ambrosial nectar of the gods. It's $10.99/lb for most of the candy and they have some banging truffles, creative caramel apples, caramels, fudges, and pretzels that are $19.99/lb. In addition, they have some "old time" candy and toys over which every Latin American child in the vicinity of the store seems to go wild for unclear reasons. Critiques -- 1) they need to put labels on everything -- everything kind of starts to look the same when it's coated in chocolate, yogurt, etc. 2) For as much stock as they have, the store is really cramped -- hard to navigate unless you're pushy. Overall, not a bad place to ruin any diet. read more

If you are a kid in Vail, or even just a kid at heart, you'll end up at Fuzzywigs. It reminded me of something out of Harry Potter. We made it an after dinner tradition to walk by and pick up something sweet. The night air and sparkling lights gave the walk and air of fun. Inside,the place is crammed full of different sweets, from the exotic to the traditional. They even had some Harry Potter candies to complete the illusion. Recommended. read more

So they have these Gummy rubber candy snakes here. They make my friend take his thoughts into a XXX world where he fantasizes of wrapping said gummy worm around his member and having his wife chew it off. read more

This place is great! Minus one star because this place could easily be anyone's tipping point for developing claustrophobia! It's tiny 4ft pathway around the store is ALWAYS PACKED with loitering tourist families toting the ski gear of their 10 children who are all crashing like ogres through the store in their ski boots. Not fun! But the selection is fabulous. They literally have everything from fudge to nostalgia candy to Japanese soda pop. They also have a selection of toys and stuffed animals in the back. It's pretty much heaven for any candy loving kid, or adult for that matter. read more

Fun store with every kind of candy imaginable! Reasonably priced too :) It sounds crazy, but you have to try the chocolate covered gummy bears!!! read more

Very good candy store with lots of options, plus Dip n' Dots and regular ice cream, something for everyone! The employee that helped us while we were there was very friendly and helpful. We had an issue with a product and it was quickly taken care of without any hesitation. read more

The Carmel Apples are to die for !!!! Super fresh and decadent. Nice staff as well!!! they even offer to slice your Carmel Apple to make it a little easier to eat . Great candy selection everything looks delicious!!!! read more

Awesome candy store. I'm all veggies and plain yogurt at home but on vacation I indulged in hand-dipped chocolate pretzels, truffles, Nerds a load of other vintage candy items that brought me back to my childhood (and probably up to the next pants size). Just a neat place to walk around overall, even if you aren't super into sweets. read more

TERRIBLE customer service! My husband and I stopped in for candy where I waited for about 5 min standing at the chocolate section. There were two employees standing right in front of me (they saw me and I was in plain sight) chatting and neither one asked what I would like or offered to assist me. When my husband came up to the register to pay he had to tell them I would like to buy something. Completely unacceptable. Although the candy is good we will be taking our business elsewhere in the future and shopping in stores where excellent customer service is the standard. read more
