However this is not just a candy store. This is a great store to stop at for a gift. Soup mix kits, spices, jellies, and hot sauces are popular items. They also sell Tervis, Mizzou items, and novelty gifts. The section I liked the best was full of lake and beach house decorations. Ozark Maid sells San Sabra Peach Pecan Amaretto Jelly. This Jelly is hands down the best thing on Earth. You can use it on everything from toast, biscuits, and scones to Ice Cream. Trust me, you want to pick up a jar today! I will be back in my next visit to the Lake.

The store is so cute! The mix of nostalgic candy, rare finds, antiques, ice cream, coffee, and bulk items can be overwelming, but in a positive way. It is almost like a candy / treat store and a museum all in one. On this trip, I got some coffee sample packets for my husband's Easter basket, a frappe for each of us, and a couple of candies for the household. The shop is bursting with products, so the aisles are a bit tight for passing people stopped to check out the fun products. Caledonia is a charming little village with shops, eats, and several outdoor adventures in the area.

When we visited, it was decorated for Christmas, giving it a cozy, vintage holiday vibe. The shelves were filled with childhood candies (even candy cigarettes). They also have an impressive selection of coffees from around the world -- and the prices are refreshingly reasonable. The handmade ice cream bar is a must-try. We ordered an ice cream flight with five samples, perfect for sharing since we couldn't decide on just one of the many delicious flavors. The assortment of chocolates looked amazing too. Upstairs, you can stroll through a collection of antiques that add even more charm to the place. We really enjoyed our visit -- it's a place that makes you slow down, take it all in, and maybe leave with a few extra treats you didn't plan on.

As we were leaving 4 hands my kids convinced my parents to go with them into this store. I'm not sure I've ever seen my kids' eyes open so wide. There were so many choices they didn't know what to do. The store is bright, well maintained, and has an appealing vibe to it. The service was good, and the staff were friendly. Inside there are a number of kiosks with different types of candy. You then fill bags with candy and pay by weight. This is the main attraction, but there are also some boxed candies and some other merchandise. The variety is massive, just a ton of bulk candy. There were probably a dozen or more different gummy options alone. My favorite were the gummy octopi.

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.
