Hilliards Candy is that South Shore stalwart that you may have forgotten until you really need it!…read moreIt's been in the area for, well, forever! and for my family at least, it's been bringing sweet treats for about 40 years. A few years ago the store moved from the cramped space in Norwell at Assinippi Corners to a fresh, larger building right at Queen Anne Corner on Rt. 53, across from Alfredo Aiello. It manages to have to same cozy feeling as the old store when you walk in and are surrounded by whatever seasonal chocolates are displayed, plus the cases full of chocolates, truffles, jelly beans, foil-wrapped chocolates - everything! It's a given that the big holidays - Christmas, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day - have everything and everything you could want to make a sweet tooth happy. I've spent many visits to Hilliards picking up waaaay too much candy for big holidays as well as the smaller ones (St. Patrick's Day, Fourth of July, Halloween) because "I need to bring candy to work!" More like, "I need to bring candy home!" Displays are fresh and full, the prices won't make you blink- think delicious without breaking the bank - and the staff is low key helpful rather than hard sell. I especially like that since I like to roam around, walking the hardwood floor, shopping the one-for method: one for you, one for me. One for you, one for . . . well you get it! Lots of parking in the back of the building, so look past the teeny 3-space area in front and just follow the arrows to the back door-and sometimes there're samples!

We were interested in the pick-your-own bags and we got a hefty amount of sour candies. We paid $28 for over a pound, which is way cheaper than the prices we were seeing online. The people who work there are also super friendly and helpful. I've tried the gummy candies from the store in Brooklyn and these ones are much better, way more fresh and soft. This store happens to be right across from Nantasket beach, so we will be back next time to enjoy the candy sitting on the beach!!

The store is conveniently located on Nantasket Ave. The shop is adorable in terms of decor as…read moreeverything is painted in after dinner mint colors and there is a whimsical jewel-toned chandelier. The owner, Maria, is lovely! The store has a wide array of homemade treats: fine handmade chocolates made from premium European chocolate, homemade Swedish fish, imported candies, homemade fudge and orders can be placed for cakes. I recently bought 3 boxes of chocolate candies for holiday presents. The chocolates are not inexpensive but she uses clean ingredients like cane sugar versus fructose syrup, no artificial flavors or colors and high quality chocolate. I would rather buy a smaller box of high quality chocolate than a big box of bulk made chocolates with artificial flavors, colors, cheap ingredients, fillers and preservatives. Maria also sent me a very kind thank you note for my order! I live on the South Shore and feel grateful there are incredible small businesses like this to support that make an exceptional product and are appreciative of my business. Maria was such a pleasant, friendly person that it felt great to support her business in my modest way.

It'sugar is one of the many stores in Quincy Market. When I visited recently, I had to duck in. There are two floors of so many different sugar confections, from cotton candy (even pickle flavored!), candy gifts, candy with cartoons on them, bulk candy, nostalgic candy, giant candy, candy that looks like food and more. If I was a kid, I might have died a little in excitement when I entered. Everything looked clean and well organized. If you're looking for something fun to take home with you, It'sugar might be your ticket. As you can imagine, some of these items had the tourist mark-up, but then again, how often are you going to buy giant gummy bears? It'sugar is a place dedicated to indulgences, so why not live it up?

They also have soft serve, which is both delicious and more reasonably priced. Super beautiful space, and super nice employees! -- I frequently visit this candy shop at least once a week as it's the only way to get my steps in this winter (I live in southie, so I make the commute by foot) AND because my sweet tooth practically compels me to spend an exorbitant amount of money on swedish candy. So, I feel like I have formed a strong opinion about Madeleine's. First, it's colorful, it's beautiful, and it's incredibly welcoming with the way they have been decorating for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Feels like I'm in Stars Hallows. They always have a new candy of the week to try for free at the counter, which is also a fun way of distracting me as I tap my card again and again for a (10 dollar) baggie of bubs. Yes, ten dollars for a baggie of PRE-packaged swedish candy. That's where this place loses its star. Week to week the mix of candy can change, and often times I'm left with candy that I don't really want. But is it worth it as a midweek pick me up? Yes, sometimes. BUT they also added a soft serve window that rotates flavors by the seasons (maple is my favorite), and you have the option to add a generous amount of bubs for only $2. The ice cream is much more reasonably priced. That makes a visit here worth it. This place is a must-stop in the south end area if you have a sweet tooth but expect it to be on the pricier side.

I was there during the early evening hours and there were a few customers in the store but it was not overly busy. There is an excellent assortment of candy there.

But these "reps" are unmarked and customers are responsible for asking whether the product is real or not. Which is shady.
