I went to the Idaho Candy Co store in 8th Street. The new owner was there, and was so friendly and kind. I purchased my favorites, the Butter Toffee and Peanut Brittle. The absolute best ever.

We stopped by the the Idaho Candy Co on 8th street. It has a great historic feel and fantastic staff. It's also locally owned and is a geat way to support small buisness.

Located in downtown, it is the perfect place for gifts and to learn a little history. There's pictures and descriptions about the history of it. I think the prices were also very reasonable. There's bars and small bags that are less than $3 as well as larger assortments.

Visited Idaho for the day while traveling the western USA. Tried a Spud candy from a gas station and fell in love. We were curious about where to find more of these delicious little chocolates so we asked around. The folks at our hotel recommended going to the actual candy factory. We were so excited to go, but were on a time crunch and had about an hour before having to leave for our next stop. We were so delighted when we arrived. We weren't sure what to expect. The store was small but had several candy bars we weren't familiar with as we browsed we were also able to look at the history. Then employees in the store let us know that the factory was indeed still in operation. Such a cool place with many unique candy bar options. We bought a variety pack and enjoyed them all! We won't be back in Boise ever again, but we will be ordering these new favorite candy bars online!

Idaho Spud candy bar (no potato)
Bruce K.

We didn't manage to get to the Idaho Candy company headquarters but we did spot one of their products and enjoyed it. The "Idaho Spud" bar is a candy bar - cocoa flavored with a soft marshmallow center and a chocolate coating that is then sprinkled with coconut. While it does look a lot like a potato, it does not actually contain any potato ingredients and does not taste like potato. It tastes like chocolate bar and sweetness. The first two ingredients are sugar and corn syrup. Yep, we found it (of course) at the Idaho Potato Museum in Blackfoot, ID.

Scavenger Hunt required photo evidence of visit to this venerable establishment founded in 1901.

What a treat--no pun intended. This old-timey shop is also a small museum displaying early 20th century small business paraphernalia. There are covered containers of samples of all the candies you might want to purchase so that you can make sure you DO want to purchase. Fun and yummy.

Yummy Peanut Clusters

I was visiting Boise for a real estate conference when I noticed the building that houses Idaho Candy on a morning bike ride. It was only a few blocks from our hotel and worth the walk back later in the day when they were open. I walked in and immediately was greeted by Dave who later identified himself as the owner. We talked a bit about his family's business and about my corn allergy which he was very sympathetic and pointed out the few candies in his store that I could actually eat. I bought the Chocolate Peanut Clusters. It wasn't until I return to my hotel room that I actually took my first bite. Wow! They are divine. I am so happy that I made the extra effort to go back. They close at 4 PM so I got there at 3:57 but the owner never made me feel rushed. He was quite enjoyable to talk to and I'm glad that I got the opportunity to learn more about his candy business. He is Mr. Idaho Spud a.k.a. Willy Wonka!

A mixed box.  I love huckleberries too.
Herman S.

Our dad used to get us a box of Idaho Spuds! We stumbled onto the factory store while exploring Boise. Thanks for the unique treat!

Cool little stop. About same price at WalMart, but you can get Idaho Spuds T-shirt and gifts. Worth walking in, if in downtown Boise.

Super cool antique safe
Kat D.

A friend and I had some time to kill in Downtown Boise and we stumbled upon Idaho Candy. We were drawn in by the super old building and architecture. It was really neat to look around the small storefront area and see all of the pictures and antiques. They offered samples of the different candies that they make. There were also full size candy & Idaho Candy merchandise that you could buy. We attempted to ask the woman working there some questions about the building and the company, but she had no interest in engaging in any conversation. I wish they offered tours of the building! It would be really neat to just look around and see an old factory and learn about the history of the company. I'm glad that we stopped by and took a look, but I don't think we will ever return.

Love the hats!

Small shop, not much to the place but reasonable prices. It was nice having samples to taste prior to committing to buying something.

It's been years since I have been to Goody's. I have fond memories of this place. My adventures…read morewith my daughter forever ago, having ice cream and treats here. So when my husband said let's go get ice cream, I knew we had to head here. This joint hasn't changed in the last 15 years. Everything looks the same. Treats everywhere. Toys adding happiness to the joint. The big windows letting all that beautiful sunlight in. The scent of fresh waffle cones and popcorn. It's truly one of the best smells around. Candles need to be made that smell like Goody's. I wouldn't mind my house smelling like this joint. We snagged a couple chocolate covered pretzel sticks. And of course we had to get ice cream! My husband got a double scoop sundae and I grabbed a single. I have the worst sweet tooth so the urge to get two scoops was there! But, I knew my husband would share some of his with me so the single scoop was perfect. The sundaes were so good! It's very nostalgic eating them in the old school glass cups. My husband's sundae had a ton of fudge in it. Both were topped with a hearty amount of whipped cream and cherries of course. The ice cream was so good! It's been a few weeks since we were in. But, I remember it being amazing and the most perfect afternoon treat. Especially having that treat with my husband. The staff was super friendly. They were all just great! The venue of course will always be top tier. A must go to ice cream joint in the north end. It's been too long since I have been in so coming in for our ice cream date was just magical. I hope to be back soon, sooner than 15 years.

Walking in feels like stepping into a small-town, old-fashioned family candy store. They offer so…read moremany desserts, chocolates, ice creams, candies, and sodas that it's hard to choose just one thing. Their dark chocolate caramels are some of my favorites, and the malts are always delicious. The staff is consistently kind and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. While the ice cream can be a little icier and not quite as creamy as some of our other favorite spots in town, we still love coming here. Sitting under the big trees with ice cream in hand is part of the charm, and it keeps us coming back to sit on the patio with our ice cream.

I haven't been in this candy store for a hot minute. My friend and I stopped in today to see if…read morethey had Dubai chocolate for sale. I have always liked this candy store. They always have such a big variety of goodies. Walking in, it's hard not to get overwhelmed by all the goodies, colors and displays. We went straight to the display counter to look at the truffles and to see if they had the Dubai bar. We were the only ones in the store. It was quite weird not to see a sales associate for a good amount of time. We located the bar, she decided against the bar since she can get one local for the same price and almost double in size. We walked around the store and looked at all the fun stuff. I love how everything is so organized and clean. When you have multiple customers through out the day going in and out of a bin, it's nice to see that it's clean. I personally don't like candy in bulk cause of potential germ contamination. But honestly, I have boughten candy from this joint and I have never had any issues since they keep it so clean. If your looking for a small sweet treat, Lolli and Pops would be a great store to grab your goodies at. Our even a fun gift for someone that likes sweets. They have a little of everything which is nice! Customer service wasn't the best when we were there. But we didn't stress about it. Maybe next time customer service will be better.
