Well, they do brag of "The Original Edible Insect Candy for the Brave & Curious" Be sure to stop by when in the area! Awesome shop! #scorpion #candy #oddity #interesting #visitcalifornia From their website- HOTLIX began in the early 1980s inside a candy store in Pismo Beach, California. Our name comes from our original product, the HOTLIX hot cinnamon sucker. What started as a classic hard candy soon became something much more unusual. Our founder had a long-standing interest in entomophagy, the practice of eating insects, and decided to bring that curiosity into the candy world. The result was our first edible insect treat: a tequila-flavored sucker with a real worm inside. Customers loved it, and that one bold idea launched an entire line of unforgettable insect-based candies and snacks.

They do have a lot of random yet interesting items. Different types of candies, souvenirs (which what I was looking for), and clothing. It was busy, yet the line went quickly and smoothly. Greatly appreciated. As busy as it was, it wasn't loud, but the average chatting between different people.

I can probably end the review there but I should let you know that California Turtle is def the best flavor on the menu, followed closely by the dark chocolate salted caramel - though the rasberry cheesecake was also pretty dang good. Our server, Nico, was attentive and polite, as well as efficient (my favorite trait, personally :) If you need a beach treat and want it frozen, this is your place. Oh, and try one of their samples while your there, the chocolate is mighty fine.

Bought one of the triple berry pies and apple crisps to try and they were delicious! The filling for the berry pie was really good slightly tart and sweet. If you like pie crust, the crust was well done too- flaky and crisp. The apple crisp was soooo good- the topping was really tasty and the filling was delicious. I'd go back to try their other pies and hand pies. Feeding the sheep, cow, goats and llamas $3 a head lettuce was so fun! The animals loooove eating the lettuce and it's an enjoyable experience for kids and adults alike. The fields with bales of hay to climb and pose on and also the flower fields to walk around in was also nice too! There was a hay ride, but we were not able to make it-- maybe next time. The food was just mediocre. The pulled pork sandwich had too much sauce on it and it was hard to eat because the bread just fell apart. I wish there were a little more coleslaw on top because it cut the sweetness of the sauce. Would not order again. The tritip sandwich was just okay- lots of thinly sliced meat, but flavor was just alright. Would not order again. The plain hotdog was actually pretty good- it was a big hotdog. Would probably order again for my kid haha. The highlight of the meal was the Brussels sprouts (no pecans and subbed Parmesan for the bleu cheese)! Nicely roasted and seasoned. Definitely would order again! The strawberry lemonade and the oallaberry lemonade were really good- not too sweet and very fruity. Definitely would order again Would definitely come back to spend a couple of hours here!

Me and my boyfriend shared one of the frozen cheesecakes dipped in chocolate and rolled in peanuts. I could've done without the peanuts, but he liked it. He ate most of the cheesecake that had chocolate on it cause I don't really care for it. But the cheesecake was bomb!! from now on. I'm gonna eat my cheesecake frozen. lol. I also got some of the graham crackers dipped in chocolate. I know I said I don't really like chocolate. But these are the only things I can eat with chocolate they remind me of s'mores. They remind me also of the Girl Scout cookies they used to make like this, but they no longer make them. So this will just be a treat for every time I'm at the beach. And I also got my same ol same ol cheesecake covered apple with a graham cracker crumbs. Always be back.
