During COVID, all staff wore masks, required that you sanitized before shopping and required the use of a glove to reach into the bins of candy. They had 20+ taffy flavors including unique combinations such as chicken and waffles and maple bacon. We also grabbed some toffee and caramels and were very impressed with those as well. I recommend making a stop to fill all your sweet tooth desires!

Highly recommend you stop on your way in/leaving Lake of the Ozarks…read more We stopped before heading to drop off our bags and it was so cute! This place has a multitude of stuff to grab for snacks or to take as gifts. There's all different kinds of popcorn, treats, and a chocolate counter where you can fill your own box of chocolates, as well as a coffee stand. It's got a lot of great stuff but it is a tight squeeze inside. This was perfect to get my caffeine fix & to grab an assorted box of chocolates (which were very yummy). The staff was super helpful with picking out chocolates and paying and the ladies working the coffee were quick & efficient. There's lots of parking and a nice scenic point of the lake from their parking lot.

Cracker Jack lover for the candy covered peanuts alone, I bought a bag of Caramel Cashew. I noticed that there weren't any bags missing from that shelf, whereas I noticed the other shelved popcorn was being purchased by customers. So I dig into the bag of Caramel Cashew and didn't get any cashews. I took the bag home and emptied it out to get to the nuts which I figured were at the bottom. No such luck. In fact I counted 7 cashews, none of which had an iota of caramel. Looks like they grabbed a bag of caramel popcorn and threw a few cashews in it. Disappointed

I was in Columbia for a family wedding and was excited to see, my welcome bag had favorites of the…read morebride and groom. I had a packet of Chocolate Covered Pretzels and another packet containing a Chocolate Covered Oreo. Typically I was a glass of cold milk with my Oreo, but this one from the Candy Factory was perfect just being dipped in chocolate. The pretzels gave me a nice mix of savory and sweet. The two pack had one dipped in Milk Chocolate and another in, White Chocolate. I surprised myself, by liking the White Chocolate best. It seemed to have a sweeter taste, which went well with the salty pretzel. While out exploring downtown Columbia, I stopped by to give their Chocolate Covered Strawberries a tasting. OMG - so good. The chocolate shell had a good crunch and the berry was super juicy. I feel bad that I did not, take a picture of the deliciousness. The customer service was attentive and the associates were eager to recommend their favorites. If you love chocolate, you gotta stop by Candy Factory.

The service is always friendly and helpful, and the store is nice and cozy. Highly recommended!
