The candy choices are plenty, given limited space. The Scottie dog licorice is a fun variation. But really the only thing I want to write about is the thing that made me do a little involuntary hip wiggle shimmy. It's the maple peanut cluster. A generously sized, many-peanuted, chocolate ensconced, maple-stuff centered delight. I almost returned to the shop the next day just to get another one. But I didn't want to jinx it, if that makes sense. Sorry shop. But here's your 5-star review.

I decided to make a little road trip to Abdollah Candies on my way to bingo at Treasure Island and…read morealthough it was a bit out of the way, it was completely worth it. I could not believe how big the store was. There is so much variety and such a wide selection of both candy and gift items. The candy is incredible. They feature a candy of the month and even offer samples. While we were there, we tried a truffle with raspberry in the center and it was really good. One of my favorite finds was tucked in the back corner...kind of a hidden gem. They have marked down candy that does not quite meet their quality standards. It might look a little different or vary in size, but it still tastes the same. Totally worth checking out. We picked out a variety to bring to bingo including butter toffee, sea sale caramel, peanut butter cups, and a pecan cluster. Everything was delicious. The store itself was very clean, including the bathrooms, and it smelled amazing from the second we walked in. My only callout is that the employees were not especially friendly. We did visit about 45 minutes before closing, so maybe that played a role, but it was not the warm welcome I had expected. So much so that I felt weird taking photos (which is reflected here). All in all, still a really fun stop and absolutely worth the trip.

There are pre-packaged assortments and gift packs around the store but the fun part was standing at the glass display that houses each kind of chocolate available. The woman working the counter was great. She offered samples and suggestions. I chose to pick out candies for my 1/2lb box. Lots to choose from and also a bit straegic - trying to fit as much as you can in the box with the different sized candies. It was like a chocolate game of Tetris. But with chocolate there are no losers (except the ones with coconut, which I refer to a Satans Stool Sample) It was fun to pick out my assortment and everthing was delicious. The worker was helpful and friendly. I would consider coming back. My only complaint was I thought it was bit over priced. On a side note, when I was young I recall a place called Fanny Farmers that sold candy. Does anyone know if these busineses are connected in any way, or just a coincidence? Recommended

Such a cute mom-and-pop shop in the cutest area of Hastings. The woman helping me was the absolute sweetest (possibly the owner?). She let me know this year they are celebrating 5 years.... So exciting. They also offer a great selection of candy and it was fun taking a walk down memory lane with all the nostalgic treats from childhood. And the smell when you walk in... talk about popcorn heaven! They have different sizes and flavors of popcorn. Popcorn is bagged right in front of you and you are able to mix and match flavors. I went with the classic butter and YUMMMMOOOO! I couldn't stop eating this stuff. There were so many buttery pieces. Seriously, buttery perfection with just the right amount of salt. I will definitely make the trip back here again and that could be very soon because my popcorn is already gone.

If popcorn is not your thing, there is a good assortment of vintage candy - Turkish taffy, Necco wafers, Charleston Chew, Skybar, etc. Also a great selection of chocolate, even some boozy options! There is a good assortment stuffed into such a small store. Worth stepping in and checking out especially if you are enjoying a walk by the river or looking through the local antique stores. Stop here to relax and refuel!

We went in on a Sunday and they were out of a bit of popcorn flavors as well as desserts. We settled on Mac Attack after we learned they were out of some of our other choices. The popcorn was really good & flavorful! They also have many flavors of shaved ice on the menu but it's a seasonal item, I guess. So I'm excited to check them out again this summer. I like that they make you wear gloves to scoop out the candy.
