I absolutely love that old school shoppes like this still exist! We loved their peanut brittle and toffee. They have some pretty Idaho classics with potato themes. Not a big selection, but nicely displayed and FREE SAMPLES! Just a little factory in an older but well kept building with an older lady sitting behind a tiny counter (stacks of paperwork behind her), ready to take your order or answer questions! You get the picture. They have several antique items and machinery. Behind a windowed door you can peek into the factor that concocts these delicious things! read more

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. read more

Sweet nostalgia! Great treats, wonderful staff, such a great surprise stop during our trip. Highly recommend!

It's kind of a strange little spot. A tiny little shop that's literally adjacent to their desks where people were sitting and working running a candy company. I didn't get a magic feeling like I was witnessing the business live, I got a feeling like I was awkwardly shopping in their break room while they worked. Most of the candy is marshmallow based which I wasn't a fan of, but I did like the Boise State one. I think $1.75 for some other candy bars on the high side. If you love marshmallow candy bars, give it a shot, but no need to visit the store in person. read more

This is one of the coolest buildings in downtown Boise. The Idaho Candy Company has rich history in Boise, they are still making their popular spud bars in this factory. I've recently tried more of their candies - the Huckleberry Gems, the Vandal Bar, and the Bronco Bites. I adore how they keep the Idaho pride with their themed candies. I recently went there with my family, and we got a little bit of everything, took it home, and had a cutting to try pieces of all of their chocolates. They even had a bag of toffee shaped like little potatoes. They are very thoughtful about the products they make, and it's all high-quality very delicious! I hear they are doing tours soon (can't wait!), but in the meantime, I frequent the shop to get gifts for clients and friends. Who doesn't love some local candy? My family loves this place. read more

Cool place. Good candy. Got a few bars to take home to family from my visit. Service was simple and easy. I didn't require much more than a quick check out, but I'll be back next time I'm in town. read more

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. read more

The Old Faithful candy bar has been my husband's favorite since he was young. I order him a box once or twice a year and he is always happy with his gift! The service is stellar, as soon as it's ordered we receive a response and it's in the mail by the next day. Thanks!! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Located downtown. Quick and efficient service. They had interesting merchandise and every candy you can think of. Also, free samples.

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. read more

Idaho Candy - Scavenger Hunt required photo evidence of visit to this venerable establishment founded in 1901. - Candy Stores Near Me - Boise, Idaho

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! read more

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. read more

We stop by each time we're in Idaho. Always bring home spuds for family and friends! We like the little shop and the samples. The woman employee is always pleasant and friendly - very helpful and informative. read more

Neat place to see, but very small with very few items to choose from. I liked it because my husband and his cousin got matching hats which was a fun souviner. The candy was not that different from other places, but still a neat novelty to check out. They also are generous on the free samples of one or two of the items but the others you cant try. read more

Idaho Candy - Love the hats! - Candy Stores Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Maybe I caught this place on a weird day or didn't go about my visit right, or just had way too much expectation for the place. The building is old & neat- guess I should reserve a tour ahead of time or something? The candy selection is super basic chocolates- good chocolate but basic. The staff was not not friendly but not friendly- they were just there.... Overall I was unimpressed & have been to 2 other candy stores in Boise I really liked. Not sure I'll end up back here ever. read more

Let's start with that they have the best English toffee any where, EvER. then we move into he novelty candy which is great ( peanuts w/ chocolate and a cherry candy center are my favorites). This is a 1 room show room of candy (w/ samples) and historical artifacts associated with the company. Well with the stop if you are in Boise. Also mail orders in cool weather. You want to try this, seen on food channel Unwrapped series read more

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

Idaho Candy is the company that makes the Idaho Spud candy bar that I remember from my childhood, when Mom would bring them home because she remembered them from her childhood. You either love them or you don't, but you will certainly love Idaho Candy's customer service and David Wagers, The Candyman. read more

Fun little store with lots of history!! My kids really enjoyed the candy souvenirs we brought home. I think if guided tours were offered it could really boost business. read more

A must stop on your visit to Boise. There are a few displays showing the history of the Idaho Candy Company. They make the Idaho Spud and Huckleberry Gem in addition to other classics. You're right there in the original factory! What a great place to pick up some candy to bring back to family, friends, and office mates. I bought enough candy to stuff my luggage. And wait- they have a number of the candy products to try as samples! Yas! So if you've never had an Idaho Spud, you can try that. So much fun! read more

VERY small sales floor (they DO have samples though), but the building is large, old and beautiful!! The candy is incredible and is great for tourists (like me!) because you can get authentic candy specifically made in Idaho! COOL! read more

This is like a museum and a candy store in one. It's kinda small, but you can try their amazing Butter Toffee so that doesn't matter! Seriously best toffee ever. read more
