Stopped here briefly when we was walking around a little town. It's very bright in there. It was very small but what turned us around was the prices they were crazy. I've never been in the candy store. They have prices like that. I mean seriously there was nothing in there that we wanted to pay that much for so we left. read more

My son and I went here on a whim and got 2 slices of pound cake for $5.00 which was affordable. He got the confetti one and I got the lemon pound cake. Both were delicious! Will absolutely be back to try other baked goods! The young girl behind the counter was very sweet as well. read more

Perfect little spot! Great chocolate and wide variety. Their dubai chocolate bar is unmatched in this area. read more

The Candy Jar by 1892 - Candy Stores Near Me - Collingswood, New Jersey

This place is incredibly dangerous... for my waistline. Resisting the urge to buy everything in sight is no easy feat. That said, thus far, I've been able to limit myself to one Spumoni (a layer of chocolate, pistachio, and cherry ice cream) "Gelato Bomb" per trip and I'm always happy with that! Support small and shop local - this friendly little place deserves it. read more

You know when you're in Collingswood for a street fair and you think you deserve something because you felt like you walked approximately 3.9 miles (then you realize you've only walked 4 blocks but it seemed longer because it was so crowded)? Yeah, that feeling. We stopped here post lunch (don't judge), and I decided to try the gelato. OK, $4 for a tiny cup - in the back of your head, your brain is whining, "But you could buy a huge box of ice cream in the grocery store for that price, " but your stomach is saying "Shut up, brain, me want sweets." I licked the cup clean. read more

We stumbled across this little shop after lunch. Not too many selections compared to other candy stores in the area, but they did have a cool vintage candy section and something for everyone in the glass case. We got the chocolate covered bacon, a chocolate peanut butter Oreo and a peanut butter dream (turned out to be ritz crackers and peanut butter dipped). Decent! read more

Awesome :) Visited for the first time today and picked up some hot cocoa bombs. Too bad they're seasonal because the concept was so cool. They tasted great! I would recommend putting less milk in if you wanted a richer flavor. They were delicious. Can't wait to see what new items they put out! Also staff was very helpful. read more

Adorable & inviting, colorful store w really good chocolates! They have a nice selection and boast my 3 favorites - chocolate covered pretzels, bark and nonpareils - and even GIANT ones at that! You can also find 'old school' candy here and unique little items / gifts. A wonderful thing is that they'll let you sample ANY ITEM YOU WISH TO TRY. We had 2 types of bark samples that were just yummy & we wound up buying 4 big pieces of each. A definite shop to stop in when you're in the area! read more

The Candy Jar by 1892 - WOW Im excited!!! - Candy Stores Near Me - Collingswood, New Jersey

It's a good candy store with a wide variety of things for a great price. They have some good milk chocolate candies and chocolate pretzels

I've already reviewed The Candy Jar's old spot, but oh well -- it's a new day. And a new year. And a new location. The Candy Jar is now even more dangerous than before. At least the last time I lived in Colls, I was on one side of town and TCJ was on the other. We had a safe space between us, so I'd only stop in every now and again. Those days are over. Now I just need to walk up a street, cut through the PATCO/police lot, squeeze through that random alley and...yep there it is. Right across the street. Right in the center of town. Oozing with all its pretty sweet treats. Their business concept hasn't changed. The space doesn't look much different than what I remember from their other location either. And they'll still ask you what you want to sample when you visit. I've recently become attached to their butter mints, but they have so many wonderful, classic candies, like candy necklaces, those root beer things, and even Mary Janes (seriously though, who actually likes Mary Janes? Eep). Plus all the chocolate, of course. So many varieties! I can't trust myself not to check in at least weekly. Yesterday, for example, I had a terrible day at work, dealt with a million hours of traffic and instead of walking in my house, I just zombie-walked to TCJ instead. It has that type of allure. read more

I stumbled in this evening after having dinner nearby. The giant popsicle in the window caught my eye. I saw it the first time I walked by as well. I actually had no idea it was a candy store until I looked through the actual door. My brother and I decided to take a peek inside and boy are we glad we did!!! It is soooooooo adorable in here! It's like going back in time to the good ol' days with real candy stores. They have counters with backlighting that highlight all of their delicious treats! There are so many to choose from that it's almost impossible to decide. So we decided to just get a whole lot of candy! Lol! I love that you are charged by weight so I could literally ask for one or two pieces of each and just pay one price. This worked out well for us since it was our first time and we really just wanted to try EVERYTHING. Almost everything is available in milk chocolate AND dark chocolate. The quality is excellent. So far, I think the pecan clusters are my favorite! My brother tried a chocolate covered red velvet Oreo which he thought was delicious. They have chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate covered marshmallows, jellies, cremes, caramels, cherry cordials...the list goes on and on. In addition to the yummy chocolate counters, they have lots of old school favorite candies as well as little trinkets and gifts. The woman behind the counter was sweet. They have cute little brown bags. I honestly just loved it here. I'm lucky I don't live nearby or my waistline would grow and my wallet would shrink. Their prices are a little high...that would be the one drawback. Worth it for a once in a while treat. You HAVE to stop in! You won't be disappointed if you are a fan of candy...especially chocolate!!!! read more

Haven't been in a candy store for an extremely long time, came into the Candy Jar today and I'm afraid I'm going to be stopping by all the time. Seriously they have all my favorite childhoods candies and more plus a huge assortment of chocolates. We got several different types of chocolate pretzels, chocolate covered Oreos and buck eyes. Also was happy the price wasn't too crazy. read more

SO cute inside this store! Chocolates (dark chocolate caramel pretzel!) were delicious. The woman there was so nice and said they'd been in Collingswood for many, many years! Will definitely be going back. read more

My daughter and I road our bikes to the candy jar in Collingswood this past weekend. I was telling her about whistle pops they are lollipops that are also musical instrument. So much fun. They were the only store in the area that has them. Thank God for a good old candy store. I was also able to pick up some licorice and my favorite dark chocolate sea salt caramels. What what! They made our day. Thanks candy jar! read more

While walking around downtown today we popped into the Candy Jar. So glad we did! My niece wanted some candy which was the motivator to go in. Once in we were offered a sample of Gelato. Wow!

Such a cute old time candy shop. They have memorabilia that is for sale. The chocolate, however, is the star of the show. It's literally chocolate covered everything- twinkies, Oreos, Swedish fish, and pretzels. Then, they have AMAZING chocolate covered peanut butter items. It was all so good!!

The Candy Jar by 1892 - Amassing place!! They won't let you not try multiple samples! It's the best candy store I have ever been to in my entire life! - Candy Stores Near Me - Collingswood, New Jersey

Had my first visit at The Candy Jar today. I almost walked by I had my two kids with me and didn't want to be bombarded with the screams for candy. But my inlaws were with me and we decided to go in. I am so glad I did. I wanted to get something special for my husband who is currently deployed. I found his favorite, candy cigarettes. I ended up getting him a case and half of them! That's 38 boxes! The owner kept telling us to try a free sample and so we did. It was a pumpkin salted caramel. SO DELICIOUS! While eating it, my two year old held up her pack of candy to the owner to show her. The owner gave it to her for free. She then asked me who the candy cigarette were for. I told her I was sending them to my husband. She asked where and I told her that he was deployed overseas. Not only did she give me the candy for free, but she let me pick out a chocolate covered pretzel to help with my stress. This woman made my day. It's been a rough week and for someone to go out of their way like that is unbelievable. I will never forget her and will continue to come back to her for candy! read more

This place is awesome. The women behind the counter are very nice and very helpful. Also they are definitely not shy with the free samples. Pretty much will let you try anything you want and will have no issues. Their prices are also very reasonable. This was my firs time here but I'll definitely be back! Btw, the coconut creams are AMAZING. read more

Our first visit today. What a cute shop, such a friendly woman behind the counter. She offered us a free sample of a chocolate covered oreo. I was so surprised. No one gives out samples anymore. But it's a great idea..because that's what made us buy more! The chocolate they use is excellent!!so delicious!the chocolate covered blueberry pie oreos were incredible. I wanted to go back for more!we also got a white chocolate covered pretzel with Twix, and a white chocolate covered pretzel with white kit kats. They were generous in the chocolate! Not quite as good as the oreos, but still delectable! I felt that it was a bit pricy, but other than that, we loved it!!definitely will be visiting again! read more

I was in Collingswood for a bridal shower and stopped in here to look around afterward. What an awesome place! The staff are extremely friendly and offer a sample to anyone who comes in.

There are also tons of little gifts you can buy from beanie babies to those wooden signs with sayings to decorate the house. read more

You will love this little shop! Freshly made chocolates and plenty of nostalgic and unique candies and sweets.

Let's face it, you can make a candy purchase just about anywhere. But if you want a candy-buying experience, then this is the place for you.

Do you want a sample? ANY sample? It's your's for the asking. No matter what you wish to have past your taste buds, it's yours. Wonderful, wonderful way to pull you in to their world of delicious treats. And each and every item they purvey, from what we baby boomers used to call "penny" candy, to gourmet, decadent chocolate-covered pretzels, to my newest, most favorite, the Peanut Butter Crispy. Just. to. die. for. truly! For Easter, or just about any occasion, hop over to The Candy Jar. You will be so glad you did! read more

This place is amazing. Stopped by yesterday to pick up some top hat chocolate covered marshmallows (I think that's what they're called). They were to die for; I was taking a box to my mom and decided why should she have all the fun, so I got a box for myself. Hahaha. TCJ has all kinds of chocolate covered goodies (can't wait to try the white chocolate covered pretzels with Twix and Kit Kats). And they've got all kinds of old fashioned candy around the store. Plus, the woman behind the counter is so friendly and welcoming, and she's not shy in giving out free samples of anything you'd like to try. If you're in the area and looking for good, quality chocolate and other kinds of candies, check this place out. You won't be disappointed. read more
