The buy four, get two free deal was hard to pass up, so we ordered a good variety. I've only tried the chocolate so far, but it was super soft and delicious. Want candy apples? They've got them!

They have a huge selection of candy and a coffee & ice cream shop in the back. However, my favorite part was the Açaí in the front. There was a separate area in the front that had Açaí & Strawberry Cups. I got the Vegan Açaí cup the first day. It was a blend of frozen açaí & vegan soft serve topped with granola. It was so delicious, I came back the next morning for an Açaí Cup. I ordered this one with no banana and extra granola. 10/10. Also can we talk about this Labubu Apple because how adorable!! I did order a Vanilla Chai that was a little too sweet for me to drink. But besides that, I had an amazing experience at Planet Candy. The staff were super friendly. And the store was very clean.

Used to be good. But now it's just over priced nasty candy. I actually heard the old lady behind…read morethe counter say chocolate is good for at least two years. Makes me wonder just how old all that candy is. I doubt it's highly trafficked anymore. In my opinion it's a major rip off and not worth the stop. Go anywhere else. The women running it are sloppy as well. Not very presentable and certainly unprofessional. ETA: heard recently from a friend that she bought hollow chocolate bunnies and her kids found MAGGOTS inside them. Gross!!!!! Another ETA: A relative of mine walked in to attempt to get candy for Valentine's Day. She was so incredibly grossed out by the smell of smoke and absolute filth in this place. Dirty candy molds, old crap everywhere and the office looked like a hoarder lived in it. The lady behind the counter was moving so slow no one was checked out in the 5 minutes she gave it and in that 5 min is when she made the observations and left. How has this place not gotten shut down?!

Wonderful assortment of flavors and it's all so good. You can put two flavors together in a small. Try flavors to see what you like and enjoy! They also sell some chocolate by the pound - pretzels, bark, other chocolate covered things... Some frozen treats are for sale in a freezer case inside. They have a rewards system that seems to return dollars to you quickly, likely cause ice cream costs a bit nowadays. Also, no credit card fee.

There is no one monitoring this at all, it's a free for all. Even the parents of the children are sticking their bare hands in.
