Swedish Candy with Pittsburgh Charm!!…read more Anyone else enjoy being part of someone's dream and passion - this couple exudes joy for their customers and for their vision to bring Swedish Candy to Pittsburgh We stumbled across this already viral candy cart - it's too small to say food truck - at the Greensburg Night Market. The cart is already such a sight to see. A vintage Italian cart painted in such a pop of clever colors lined with old school candy cartridges for everyone to enjoy from multiple angles. As we walked up, they were passing out free samples because let's face it - not many people have tried the confections that they are slinging. When we asked what the game plan is, the owner said "whatever you want - this is for you to enjoy!" And we did - grab a bag, fill it with whatever you want, and weigh it at the end. Adults and children alike making fun mixes of sweet and sour to enjoy! We loved the Strawnana Fizz - the perfect chew and flavor with a sensational fizzy sugar coating! But we honestly couldn't stop popping these the rest of the night! The best part - the customized logo bags were ziploc to seal in the freshness of these gems for as long as it took you to devour them! Look for this candy cart! It may just be the Swedish hit for Pittsburgh now

First time here and I love it! To my surprise, they really feature the ice cream over the candy…read more But the candy is hand dipped and made in house. The ice cream comes from Ashby's in Michigan and it is delicious. Funny thing, Ashby makes the Michigan Pothole flavor, and Yetter's sells the Pittsburgh Pothole. That's so great! The ice cream counter is so retro that it's a huge part of the nostalgic experience. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. They told me everything I wanted to know about the business. Parking is on street and I snagged a space right out front.

Yetter's Candy is a family-owned and -operated candy maker and retail store that first opened…read moreseveral decades ago. Today was my first time visiting this store. My first thought was that the store did not sell many candies, but then I looked more closely at the shelves, and I saw many chocolates that looked tasty! I saw chocolate-covered almond barks, cashew barks, raisin clusters, peanut clusters, coconut clusters, nuts, buttercreams, cherries, turtles, caramels, peanut butters, potato chips, pretzels, etcetera. This store also offered other businesses' treats such as candy bars, tootsie rolls, licorice, gummies, ice cream sandwiches, and even pierogies. This store also had a small restaurant area with seats and booths. The menu listed sandwiches, soups, ice cream sodas, sundaes, and milkshakes. My husband wondered about the "braunschweiger" sandwich. I asked the two employees what braunschweiger was, and an employee replied that the meat is made out of liver, but the teenaged employees could not operate the meat-slicing machine. I selected four small containers of chocolate-covered turtles, cherries, raisins, and pretzels. The total price was $39. The employee processed my payment, put my chocolates in bags, and thanked me. At home, I ate the chocolates. The turtles did not appear to contain much caramel, but all of the chocolates tasted very good.

After dinner, we stopped by this location of Millie's Homemade Ice Cream (a chain local to…read morePittsburgh that's slowly making its away across the US) for dessert. There were a lot of different flavors, but nothing too quirky or unique. I was able to sample a couple before deciding. I'm a huge strawberry fan so I tried both "Strawberry Jam" and "Strawberry Scooter Crunch" and found the latter to be too sweet, so I went with the former. CLASSIC SCOOP - 8.50 + "Strawberry Jam" and "Nutty Pistachio" I shared this with two of my friends since it came with two different flavors. This was incredibly large portions. It wasn't just one scoop of each flavor, but multiple scoops of each flavor in a big cup (16 oz). The strawberry jam had a bright sweetness that I enjoyed, and the nutty pistachio was really good and had some pistachio bits. Overall, thought the ice cream a bit too sweet for me, but it's pretty creamy with a variety of reliable flavors that people are familiar with.

Open since the summer of 2025, you can grab your dole whip or indulge in some of their fresh scooped premium ice creams!! My wife was craving some dole whip - so she grabbed a Peach and Vanilla swirl! It was so good- as close as you can get to the real deal! I had to go for a fun flavor of ice cream, so I ordered a scoop of Belgian Daydream! No knock to the shop, as they just buy the ice cream - but it was very pasty and the Belgian waffle bites chewed like bubblegum.... So I'll just stick to Dole Whip next time!!! The customer service is top notch and the prices were very friendly! We grabbed ice cream for three for only $13.50! They have plenty of seating inside to enjoy your treats and even a few table outside if you want to challenge the summer heat to a melt off!

Kelly's Sweets & Greets still uses the name "St. Moritz Chocolatier" on many of their packages of chocolates. The retail store is located on the second floor of the One Oxford Centre building in downtown Pittsburgh. Currently, its hours are Monday through Friday from the mid-morning to mid-evening. I had hoped to stop by the store on a Friday evening, but I was running late, so I instead placed an order through Kelly's website. On that same day, Kelly's mailed my package via UPS. On the next day, UPS delivered the package to me. The package contained the correct chocolates as well as two mini bags of jellybeans for free. My favorite chocolates were the chocolate-covered raisins (5 stars), which were a very large size and very flavorful. I also really liked the pecan turtles (4.5 stars), chocolate-covered pretzel twists (4.5 stars), and cordial cherries (4.5 stars). I thought that the buckeyes (4 stars) were good but could use a richer peanut butter.

Customers may purchase candies at the store or through their website. I placed an online order for two products. Shipping cost $12 for USPS Priority Mail. The website said that they process orders in 1-2 business days, but I did not receive a shipment email or package after several days. I emailed and called, and an employee told me that they would make my cordial strawberries later that day. My package took 10 days to arrive at the post office and then 1 day to be delivered to my home. Cordial strawberries ($21) - 5 stars - My box included 6 strawberries that were surrounded by juices and covered in milk chocolate. I had not previously eaten cordial strawberries, so they were a surprise to me! These strawberries tasted very sweet and delicious, but when I bit into them, a large amount of juice dripped out! If you buy these cordial strawberries, make sure that you eat them over a plate and have a paper towel nearby. Deluxe assortment of milk chocolates ($15) - 4.5 stars - This box of chocolates weighed 8 ounces. I could not figure out all of the flavors, but I think that I received strawberry cream, orange cream, caramel, toffee, turtle, mint, coconut, chocolate, cherry cordial, and a few other flavors. I enjoyed most of these flavors.

It's located next to the Kiddieland entrance, so sorry parents - your children will absolutely be tempted by the smell of sweets and the giant ice cream cone fixture that's set up on the exterior of the shop. The Golden Nugget is best knowing for serving ice cream dipped in chocolate, all presented on a square-shaped cone. The block of ice cream and chocolate is then rolled in crushed peanuts or sprinkles - your choice - and topped with a cherry. It's delicious and much better than an ordinary ice cream cone! This little shop also offers cotton candy, ice cream sandwiches, and floats; but their square chocolate-covered ice cream treat is arguably the best thing here. It's what the Golden Nugget is best known for, is arguably a Kennywood tradition - and must be enjoyed whenever possible in my opinion.

I am pretty much an ice cream connoisseur at this point, and I can honestly say that this place is super impressive. There is a three-dimensional version of the shop's famous dipped ice cream cone set up on the exterior of the shop, that will immediately grab your attention, along with the sweet smells surrounding the shop and drawing you in. The Golden Nugget is famous for its square shaped dipped ice cream cone. They cut a square of ice cream that fits perfectly on a square-top cone. The ice cream is dipped in chocolate and sprinkles or crushed peanuts. The finishing touch is a cherry on top! Don't forget to ask for a plate, spoon, and napkins, as this yummy treat can get super messy on a hot summer day. The Golden Nugget sells other treats, as well, but the ice cream is a must-have! If you're ever at Kennywood, go here! It will be some of the best ice cream you've ever had.
