    We went to the cannery location last week on 7th street and we were in Popcorn heaven! We picked up bags which included green apple, red chili, caramel with almonds, rainbow and a green chili mix. The lady welcomed us to the store and asked what brought us in. We mentioned that we were at the cannery location on 7th street and saw some of their candy displayed. The store is in a gated parking lot and clean. She gave us descriptions first of each candy and how they are made daily. Gave us a free sample. We spent a good hour in the shop and really enjoyed the offerings and made both popcorn and chocolate purchase between myself and my two adult kids. Thank you for the warm welcoming. min

    This "little" spot is pretty big. I saw them on either Food Network or the Cooking Channel. They featured their piñon nut roll. They don't sell them individually anymore. You have to buy a candy pack to try them. The shopping area is kinda small but you can see everything they offer right up close. I bought a couple of pecan rolls, a white chocolate covered graham cracker, and a praline... Hard pass! The praline tasted nothing like one from Savannah or Charleston! It had like an aftertaste. That praline made me skeptical of eating anything else. The graham cracker was ok and I still haven't tried the pecan roll (a month later).

    A true hidden gem in Albuquerque!! Love to see local candy stores still thriving in the city. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful in helping me pick my gifts out. The chocolate was absolutely divine

    This is what I purchased today.

    Hello Albuquerque! When was the last time you went to Buffett's Candies? They have been around since 1956 as a local family-owned business. I have received Buffett's candy as a gift, and I have seen the giant candy cane that leans on the building on Lomas and Louisana. But, I'll be honest I had never been to the candy shop until last week, and I shopped there again today. Their candy is the best! Al, the confectioner who assisted me both times, is an extraordinary individual and one reason to return. Al greeted my sister and me with a big smile and happy greetings even though we walked into the establishment 5 minutes before closing on Friday. He was over the top helpful and genuinely friendly. I may not be back every week, but I will visit often. My favorite candy is the Zia, which has a few variations, dark chocolate, pinions, and caramel; yum! You don't have to wait for a special occasion, but their candy is exceptional!

    Dog treats were a big hit!

    I've been driving by this spot for years and finally stopped in to check it out. I discover that Buffett's Candies is wonderful. This locally owned shop has been here since the fifties. They ship to you or you can go into their store. Employees were sweet. The lady that helped me went above and beyond. There's lots of pinion candies. They have Lobo themed candy--great for the graduates. There's yummy popcorn flavors. I loved the Butter Rum Candy popcorn, but if you want a taste of local flavor you may want to grab the red and green chile (Christmas) popcorn. They have chocolate covered popcorn--yes! And KetoDiet diet be damned, I tried the cherry gummy rings which was another winner. There's colorful giant lollipops, flower shaped chocolates, chocolate with chile, chocolate and caramel covered marshmallows, and much more. I absolutely plan to return. The only thing that would be a nice addition would be a small table and coffee. I would totally bring the hubby here for a yummy treat and a cup o joe.

    Love in a 1lb box!

    My friend said she was going to Albuquerque, NM and asked me if I wanted anything...no thanks on a souvenir mug, magnet or hanging hot air balloon chotski...as I KNOW exactly what I want AND it's edible (and not cheap). After seeing an episode of Andrew Zimmern featuring Buffets Candies' piñon nut roll I had to get as my mom loves pine nuts and the thought of caramel makes it even better! Handmade candies of brown sugar center, wrapped in caramel and pressed with pine nuts (no preservatives) is all one needs to be a happy camper...and of course I don't think of the calories, but the protein content! Yeah they're good for you! So if you know someone traveling to Albuquerque have them bring you a box of these decadent treats...shipping avgs about $12 if you order online and it's delivered fast! Definitely have to try!

    Buffet's Candies is one of my favorites and has a lot to choose from. Their chocolate has an amazing taste, and the staff is always friendly. They always give you a sample to try while you are in the store. My favorite is the peanut butter meltaway which is creamier than anything I have tasted anywhere. Highly recommend driving to Buffets and treating yourself to some amazing chocolate! They won't disappoint!

    It's OK, I went for the pinon rolls and they were nothing special. I think there's some over-the-counter chocolates that are even better.

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.
