The shelves are packed with an impressive variety of candy--from classic chocolates to fun, individually wrapped treats you don't often find anywhere else. They also carry small gifts, unique goodies and an antiques in the back, which makes it a fun spot to browse whether you're shopping for yourself or looking for something to take home. Even though we didn't end up buying anything this time, we really enjoyed wandering through and taking it all in. It's the kind of place that brings out your inner kid and makes you smile. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area and want to experience a bit of local flavor and charm!

I've only had their Italian ice and cupcakes here which is always delicious! They have a good selection of ice flavors and a medium is $3.25 for up to 2 flavors (pictured) and enough to share between two people. They also have a smaller size (1 flavor) and large (3 flavors), I don't remember the pricing but it's all under $5! The flavors are so accurate, fruity, and not overly sick and the quantity is amazing for the price. Watermelon is my absolute favorite. Their cupcakes are also my favorite. Light fluffy cake base with whipped sweet frosting. They sold out today so I wasn't able to see or remember their flavors but they usually offer a range. My only wish is that they were open for longer hours during the week, sometime it's hard to stop by!

If you are in the Meadows of Dan area and you have a sweet tooth, this place is a must! They had so many kinds of candy that I swear I gained a pound just imagining all I'd be eating. Lots of chocolate, lots of fudge, lots of different candies that will definitely satisfy what you'd want. Go check this place out. The employees were so friendly and engaging, they definitely made me feel appreciated for being there. Thanks!

Service is good despite the lines. One bite of the Orange creamsicle fudge made me feel like I had jumped in a Time Machine taking me back to 1980 when I would patiently wait on the ice cream truck in the summer. The sea salt caramel fudge gives you both the salty and sweet fix while the maple nut fudge is like eating maple nut goodies which were my Dad's favorite treat at Christmas. If you're lucky you may see them making all of this yummy goodness. Definitely stop in!

They also have a pick and bag area where you can take as little or as much as you want of candy, candy of all sorts. Stop by and see what crazy things the candy world has come up with!

That word has become excessively exaggerated, but not the case here. Each bite of popcorn comes with dense texture, rich flavor, and desire for me. This is not simply popcorn to just grab by the handful and throw in your mouth while watching a movie, but instead to eat one or two kernels at a time to savor the taste. Highly recommend.

They were ready to answer any questions and take our order. I was hoping they would have dill pickle popcorn, but they vary their flavors. Pickle popcorn will be returning in October. We ordered white cheddar and kettle corn and enjoyed both flavors. I like how the popcorn was light and not overly flavored. Sometimes kettle corn can be too buttery and sweet, but this one was well balanced. The menu is easy to read including the prices and sizes. I don't live close enough to visit here again, however, we would recommend this place to others for a tasty treat.
