Hilliards Candy is that South Shore stalwart that you may have forgotten until you really need it!…read moreIt's been in the area for, well, forever! and for my family at least, it's been bringing sweet treats for about 40 years. A few years ago the store moved from the cramped space in Norwell at Assinippi Corners to a fresh, larger building right at Queen Anne Corner on Rt. 53, across from Alfredo Aiello. It manages to have to same cozy feeling as the old store when you walk in and are surrounded by whatever seasonal chocolates are displayed, plus the cases full of chocolates, truffles, jelly beans, foil-wrapped chocolates - everything! It's a given that the big holidays - Christmas, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day - have everything and everything you could want to make a sweet tooth happy. I've spent many visits to Hilliards picking up waaaay too much candy for big holidays as well as the smaller ones (St. Patrick's Day, Fourth of July, Halloween) because "I need to bring candy to work!" More like, "I need to bring candy home!" Displays are fresh and full, the prices won't make you blink- think delicious without breaking the bank - and the staff is low key helpful rather than hard sell. I especially like that since I like to roam around, walking the hardwood floor, shopping the one-for method: one for you, one for me. One for you, one for . . . well you get it! Lots of parking in the back of the building, so look past the teeny 3-space area in front and just follow the arrows to the back door-and sometimes there're samples!

By no means am I a chocolate connoisseur - meaning that, frankly, you stick candy in front of me,…read moreI'll eat it. I know what I like and what I don't, but that's about as far as it goes. One of my colleagues surprised me with a box of the sea salt caramels recently and I wrote him an email that read like this: "Mother of God. These chocolates are amazing. Thank you so much...I want to hate you for introducing me to these, but they are so good, I can't." That pretty much sums it up. I don't even want to try anything else because I'm not sure that it can get any better than those sea salt caramels. They are little pieces of confectionery heaven and I'd go to church if they were served for communion.

It'sugar is one of the many stores in Quincy Market. When I visited recently, I had to duck in. There are two floors of so many different sugar confections, from cotton candy (even pickle flavored!), candy gifts, candy with cartoons on them, bulk candy, nostalgic candy, giant candy, candy that looks like food and more. If I was a kid, I might have died a little in excitement when I entered. Everything looked clean and well organized. If you're looking for something fun to take home with you, It'sugar might be your ticket. As you can imagine, some of these items had the tourist mark-up, but then again, how often are you going to buy giant gummy bears? It'sugar is a place dedicated to indulgences, so why not live it up?

We enjoyed sitting outside as we waited for another party to finish their shopping. Once inside, we were greeted with so many tasty looking options - candies, jams, pies, drink mixes, and more.

They have everything from handmade truffles, giant Rice Krispy squares, vintage sodas, unique gifts, and more. As other reviewers said, this place can definitely be overwhelming, but the cheerful and friendly staff is very attentive and great at guiding confectionary connoisseurs through the wide ranging selection. Be sure to sign up for their mailing list! It takes five minutes, and they'll give you a pound of high quality gummy bears in quirky flavors like grapefruit and blueberry for free, just as a thank you! Every dollar you spend equals a point, and certain numbers of points add up to rewards, like free chocolate bars and truffles. This is super worthwhile, because the candy is on the expensive side, and a discount will make your visit even sweeter!

We were interested in the pick-your-own bags and we got a hefty amount of sour candies. We paid $28 for over a pound, which is way cheaper than the prices we were seeing online. The people who work there are also super friendly and helpful. I've tried the gummy candies from the store in Brooklyn and these ones are much better, way more fresh and soft. This store happens to be right across from Nantasket beach, so we will be back next time to enjoy the candy sitting on the beach!!

The store is conveniently located on Nantasket Ave. The shop is adorable in terms of decor as…read moreeverything is painted in after dinner mint colors and there is a whimsical jewel-toned chandelier. The owner, Maria, is lovely! The store has a wide array of homemade treats: fine handmade chocolates made from premium European chocolate, homemade Swedish fish, imported candies, homemade fudge and orders can be placed for cakes. I recently bought 3 boxes of chocolate candies for holiday presents. The chocolates are not inexpensive but she uses clean ingredients like cane sugar versus fructose syrup, no artificial flavors or colors and high quality chocolate. I would rather buy a smaller box of high quality chocolate than a big box of bulk made chocolates with artificial flavors, colors, cheap ingredients, fillers and preservatives. Maria also sent me a very kind thank you note for my order! I live on the South Shore and feel grateful there are incredible small businesses like this to support that make an exceptional product and are appreciative of my business. Maria was such a pleasant, friendly person that it felt great to support her business in my modest way.

I got about a pound of candy for around $14 to try a good mix of everything from chewy and sour gummies to chocolate.

While I was paying, the lady told me they've been open for 35 years, so they are definitely doing well. A great place to stop by if to indulge on some sweets and treats.
