Do yourself the best favour and give into the candy. Let yourself be taken over by the bright, magical colours of Gummi Boutique. The feeling I get when I walk into Gummi Boutique is way better than a kid in a candy store. I'm and ADULT in a candy store! I can buy all the candy I want and nobody's gonna stop me!!! :D They've got a cool selection of eclectic Candies from all over the world. Plenty of Japanese candy (by far the most adorable packaging the world has ever seen), all the way to European import bars from chocolate giants like Cadbury! Did you know that Euro Cadbury is created with a higher percentage of cocoa and doesn't use high fructose corn syrup like the American versions do? Did you also know that might be entirely incorrect because because I was so high on excitement thinking about the sugar rush that would soon follow to even think to listen to anything the insanely knowledgeable dude working there was telling me. I don't remember, but the fact is that HE does and there IS a difference. You should talk to the people in this store because they're awesome. Think about this for a second, friends - their job is to hang out with and be the city's experts in CANDY. How crazy cool is that?! Gummi Boutique ups the "What?! I had no idea you could get that here!" anti to unbelievable new levels. They've probably heard of it. They've got some fun, gimmicky stuff like lollipops with ants and a good assortment of strange soda flavours like Bacon or Peanut Butter. Neither of which I found that enjoyable... But I'm not sure what I expected. While they've got gimmicky stuff they're by no means all about it. You can find some fantastic candy in this store all with these incredible throwbacks to that time you lived in Germany, or your best friend in Australia used to get these things. Cherry Coke, Vanilla Coke, All the Coke...-a-cola, they've got it! And DUDES, you know I'm talking to you. Set yourself apart from the pack and work a visit to Gummi Boutique into your date night. It's far too enjoyable experience to not share with someone. Everyone goes out to the movies, but not everyone stops by Gummi Boutique first to hand pick the coolest bulk candy on the planet.

There are also so many different Asian candies that you don't find at T&T. In order for the owner to have so many different flavors in stock he must sell them quite fast. Yes everything is slightly premium priced but it is worth it. I mean some of the treats here can only be found in Japan or in an Asian Country. Highly recommend visiting this store.

Going to the Kit Kat store in Osaka is mind-numbing. Or a Don Quijote in Shibuya. Kit Kat flavors. Soy Sauce, Cherry Blossom, Plum Wine, Sweet Potato, Strawberry. Sweet toothers in Japan eat 4 million per day... Some pretty odd flavors, and the oddest, most delicious flavor of all is Wasabi Kit Kat. I used to load up on them at the Narita Airport for friends and family. Load Up. Like- extra suitcase. Then today, in the Dragon City Mall, in Qalala Candy Store, there it was, along with Melon, Blueberry, Peach, Adzuki Bean, and a bunch of other flavors. Tiny shop, filled to the ceiling with cool candy. Nice guy working there too. He must get people like me in there all the time, freaking out over the Kit Kats.

The interior is nice and bright, with a wide selection of chocolates for you to look at. The lady working there was very helpful, giving us good suggestions to help us pick what we wanted. We decided to get the 9 piece box to share so that we could try out various flavors. The quality of the chocolate here is great, and I can see why they have various awards for their bonbons. The chocolates all had colorful aesthetic designs to them, and the ones with fruit in them were extremely flavorful. Ones like the Dreamsicle were memorable, and they also have ones with liquor inside them for people who are interested in that. Highly recommend stopping by here if you are a big fan of chocolates!

Growing up in Calgary, it was only on special occasions that we bought a box of Bernard Callebaut…read moreChocolates. The shiny copper box is unmistakable and always manages to give me the same giddy excitement I had as a kid. Now as an adult, anytime I am in town to visit family I make a point of stopping by the specific location. Primarily because this is or once was the flagship store (the arched windows remind me of a Willy wonka sort of nostalgia). But mostly because the chocolates always seem to be the freshest as this location versus others I have visited in the past. And while Bernard Callebaut chocolates are most certainly a splurge, they are worth every penny if you ask me. Since this is a rare occasion for me, I get a bigger box but not so big that it's obnoxiously embarrassing. I'm not sure what's worse, that or the fact that I don't even share them with my husband. Some of the best chocolates are: strawberry (made from real strawberries), Honey, coconut, caramel....whatever your choice- you can't go wrong. But I do not at all like the new Cococo chocolates, but perhaps you should buy just one so you can compare against the Bernard Callebaut chocolates to see what I'm talking about. Not all chocolate is created equal.

Our first stop last year was back in October during a culinary treasure hunt we participated in. Once we completed our task we were given a complimentary sample of a Habanero Sea Salt Milk Chocolate Bar to take with us. OMG it was drop dead delicious. Our next stop came in December when my in-laws (who were in town visiting) wanted to pick up some special chocolate to bring home after Christmas. We brought them here. This time we got to sample the Silver Award Winning Milk Chocolate bar flavoured with Rosemary, Thyme and Habanero Sea Salt. It is fabulous and obvious why it's a silver award winner. This place offers chocolate factory tours and this is definitely on our list of things to do...that and well come back and try some more yummy chocolate.

The chocolate is smooth and creamy, sweet without being overly sweet and not one ounce of bitterness. Hubby likes the white chocolate to switch is up as well as the rice crisp chocolate bars. The deal for 3 bars at $4.99 is fantastic. Mix and match. Great seasonal items can be found in an organized way and not once have I found something I wanted out of stock. Staff are generally friendly enough and some days there are samples but you have to ask for them at times when you see the platter hiding on the back shelf. The location is great, inside Market Mall within the food court.

Despite the fact that I'm stuck working double-time to make up for all the extra indulging I did this month, I have to tell you - Purdy's chocolates is THE best Easter chocolate around. Whether you like milk, dark or white - they've got it all, and it's DAMN GOOD. Plus they sell chocolate bunnies, chocolate eggs, and other fun chocolate creatures. Don't even get me started on their $500 GIANT chocolate bunny. All I need is one night...just lock me in and lose the keys.
