    Great little store, everyone inside is very nice and they have lots of free fudge samples. Came here to get the Breaking Bad candy for gifts, ended up getting shirts too. Prices are reasonable, only complaint is the parking lot kind of sucks for a truck. I've lived here for 6 years, I'm glad I finally came. Definitely a place worth stopping at, and I'm just realizing now I forgot to get a mint chocolate pretzel to try.

    Lots of delicious, handmade candy!! Fudges, taffy, truffles with so much variety!!! Any sweet tooth is sure to find something they will love!

    So at the time, I had no idea that this place was the place that made the fake meth for Breaking Bad. I'm going to tell you something that may shock you... I've never seen Breaking Bad. Coming to Albuquerque, people asked if we were going to see any Breaking Bad things and I was like I don't know because I've never seen the show. Pure shock on people's faces but alas, never seen it. So, walking in to this shop, I was a bit confused about all the Breaking Bad stuff in the doorway. I thought I was coming to an old timey candy shop. I just took it as they are proud of Breaking Bad being filmed in their hometown (I mean I get freaking excited whenever I see my college featured in movies.) It wasn't until I came to write this review that I noticed people mentioning getting some "meth." If you want that blue rock, definitely come here, they have some for you. I fully wasn't expecting the X-Rated portion of this store. My bf wanted me to get a chocolate phallus for my mom but WHAT?!?! I couldn't do that. He mentioned it to her when we got home and I regret not getting one for her, she says she would have loved it. There aren't just phalluses either, plenty of other "naughty" bits. The regular candy is mostly the touristy candy shop stuff that gets sold all across America. But still worth a stop in.

    Glad this is still open. They supplied the "crystal meth" for the show Breaking Bad. They are still opened and have some adult only candies and chocolates.

    The candy lady Walter white was standing outside so I got to take pictures with him and then I met the lovely G. Beautiful, kind, and talk to me a lot about Albuquerque. I love when I travel and I meet beautiful people like G. The variety of candies, gifts and T-shirt and photo opps are great. I WOULD RECOMMEND #food_vine_divine #Walter Hartwell White Sr., also #Heisenberg #saymyname #Albuquerque # breakingbad #Albuquerquetourism #newmexico

    Only stopped in for the breaking bad meth. She's so friendly and loves to support fans of the show! After purchasing some dime bags and t shirts she helped me put on an apron and do a photo shoot!

    Easter bunnies, chocolate penises & vaginas, Breaking Bad merch, brittles, piñon caramels, licorice, truffles, fudge, coconut haystacks, and the inimitable peanut butter crunch... Josette and Ryan and Tammy and Orina are sooooo nice... there's even sugar free for diabetics. And of course Walter White's blue meth (this is the store that supplied the props). You cannot miss this stop on your Breaking Bad tour!!!!

    Had to come here - the boy loves Breaking Bad and this is where the blue crystals infamously came from for the show! Great service and lots of variety offered - even a hearty sugar free selection! A fun stop!

    Visited The Candy Lady solely because this is the store that made the blue "crystal meth" for Breaking Bad. I really want to do a Breaking Bad tour in and around Albuquerque but this wasn't quite the visit for it. Instead, I got a glimpse of Breaking Bad 'paraphernalia' while walking around this area of ABQ. I totally took photos with the cardboard cutouts and the trays of blue rock candy and I most definitely purchased some as souvenirs for myself and friends. There are plenty of other Breaking Bad items available for purchase including shirts and mugs but I thought they were a bit overpriced. Other candy/treats are also available including the 18+ candy/chocolate section. Enjoy.

    Great time here. For Breaking Bad fans, this is where they made the blue meth candy for the show. There's a nice set up and some pretty cool unique tee shirts specifically designed from the Candy Lady store. Debbie, the owner was extremely warm and sweet. Must stop in ABQ.

    2 days before Valentine's Day I'm struggling to find chocolate covered strawberries. The Candy Lady came to the rescue! I'd never been here before, despite hearing all of the mouth watering stories from friends. I'm glad I came to this spot for my chocolate needs! They got you covered with a wide variety of goodies covered in chocolate.... orange slices in chocolate, chocolate covered rice crispy treats, truffles, turtles, chocolate covered GREEN Chile?!! . I love when people take risks in chocolate! Anyway. This place is super cool and definitely a tourist destination! I'll be back!

    Fudge, fudge, fudge!!!

    They take time out to show you around, let you try samples of things, and the Breaking Bad meth room is awesome.

Whether it be a prepackaged candy bar or their fudge that is out for display. While he is browsing their offerings to fill his sweet tooth craving I decide to pull up my handy dandy Yelp app to get a little more info on this here candy factory. Low and behold..... it's the 2nd business I tried to check into in the mall...only to find out they were not listed. Being the awesome person I am I asked the Candy Stripper (cashier in layman terms) behind the counter if she had a business card so that I can add their business info as I'm sure other Kool Yelpers have frequented this spot while sludging through the trenches of the mall. She was less than enthusiastic about my inquiry even after I asked her if she was aware of the Yelp website. Needless to say she was neither friendly or in anyway personable to any if the patrons I saw in the shop while we walked around. While I don't like being negative or sending out negative vibes I will come back soon and give them another shot. I can only hope they become more sugary and sweet and one would expect the employees to be in a place that normally brings joy and sunshine to young and old alike.... positives: nice candy selection. my nephew picked out a sucker with a grasshopper. oh joy!!!

My…read morefavorites are the Chocolate Caramel Apples with nuts, Dark Chocolate Raspberry Jellie Sticks, and the Irish Cream Truffles. So, so good! I've been to different locations of this company as far away as California and I've always considered the goodies there to be special treats. I recently wanted to send a gift of candy apples to a relative back east so I got on the website to place my order. To my great disappointment, the apples were listed as ''available in store only.'' I didn't want to go inside a store because of covid so I gave a call to a local Albuquerque store in the Coronado Mall. The customer service there is fantastic! I spoke to Shay who was super nice and helpful! I told her what I was trying to do and she let me know that her store was actually locally owned and they do ship candy apples! I didn't have to go to the store since she let me place my order by phone. It was as easy as could be. She even sent me the tracking number after dropping the box off at the UPS office. That kind of customer service is way too rare. I'm glad to have a local business to support that sells great chocolates for special gifts. I'm also looking forward to when it is safe to go out and do in-person shopping again so I can pick up some treats for myself!

I eventually found the hot sauce section, which, incidentally, is incredibly well organized, including the cool display for the Ass Kickin' stuff (prices on the hot sauces are outstanding and there are several I have seen here and nowhere else), but I wish the rest of the store was organized similarly. The entire thing screams clutter and spicy products (I think, I tried really hard to find them all, but maybe (probably) missed some) are maybe 20% of the floor space. The rest is coffee and mugs and t-shirts and pinon stuff and just random...shit. Back to my confusion...I don't understand why this place is called Chile ADdict when so little of the inventory is related to piquancy. I guess calling it a gift shop would be less interesting, maybe? Anyway, if you have a lot of time and patience to spend carefully hunting and foraging around this (sometimes precariously and hapazardly) scattered array, it can definitely be rewarding, but it won't be fast.
