One thing about me is that I absolutely love sweets, so I couldn't resist stopping by this candy…read morestore as I passed by. First off, I have to give a shoutout to the owner--he was incredibly friendly and even let my girlfriend sample some fudge. The store had an endless variety of both new and old-school candies to choose from. They even had this really cool jelly bean machine with a wide assortment of flavors to bag up. Before leaving, I made sure to grab some treats to share with my family too! I can't wait to come back in the summer to see what new goodies they'll have.

Or...perhaps even for the days when you are? Maybe it's ice cream in town and candy back at the vacation rental. Sweet Haven ticks all the boxes: various small candy in bulk; taffy in bulk; old-fashioned packaged candy; higher-end chocolates; Jelly Bellys; and of course FUDGE. It's a dangerous and delightful place. I'm not sure about the prices. This stuff *seems* expensive, but since you don't buy an armload of candy very often (do you??), it's hard to tell. So just go ahead and treat yourself (and your kids I guess, but mostly you, because sugar is bad for kids) and see whether you can make it last beyond the journey home at the end of the trip.

They have lots of the small candies and old fashioned things. They do not have a huge selection of bulk/bin candy though and this is why they lose a star. A five star candy shop has everything I ever dream of from chocolate covered honey comb to bridge mix to sour candies in all animal shapes and sizes. I guess most of their stuff doesn't melt though which is a plus in the summer.

Shopping here is a fun and unique experience with something for everyone. I bought peanut butter Goo Goo Clusters from Nashville and Twin Bing from Sioux City, Iowa, both candies I have not seen sold in my neck of the woods. Rocket Fizz is a must visit when in Kalamazoo.

The second you walk in, you're hit with a rainbow explosion of color, giant candy displays, floating hot air balloons, vintage treats, quirky décor, and enough sugar to convince your inner child that being an adult is overrated. Every inch of this place is begging for a photo, and honestly, your camera roll will leave with more memories than your wallet. The candy selection is ridiculous in the best way. International sweets, nostalgic favorites, novelty sodas, mystery candy boxes, giant lollipops, and the kind of treats you forgot existed until they magically appeared in front of you. I'm also convinced the owner has an entire warehouse dedicated to storing all the incredible seasonal decorations because the attention to detail is next level. If you think it's cute now, wait until Halloween or Christmas. They somehow manage to outdo themselves every season, turning the whole store into a magical, over the top wonderland that's worth visiting even if you don't buy a single piece of candy. I came in thinking I'd spoil my little grandchildren, dropped over $40.00 and left questioning every financial decision I made that day. Sticky Fingers is pure nostalgia wrapped in a sugar rush with a side of organized chaos. Bring your wallet cuz you're gonna want to buy the whole store.

We step in and nobody is in sight but within about 20 seconds someone came into the main room and greeted us. We were looking at all the sweet treats and settled on 6 milk chocolate peanut butter cups for 60 cents each. I enjoyed them, but it would have been an extra bonus if they had used sea salt like they did with different items and charged a touch more. Everything was reasonably priced and they had some unique items, like chocolate covered orange peels. If you're looking for some nuts, chocolate or gummies for your significant other and are in the Kalamazoo area I'd come in and check them out. You won't be disappointed.

Some things are made here and other things are bought, fyi. I do think this is info that should be apparent and not something you should have to ask, since everything is repackaged with their own label. They do roast the nuts and make the brittle there. I normally love chocolate dipped pretzels but the coating on those and the graham crackers is way too thick, disappointing. The whole point is to have the contrast between the crunch and the chocolate. The prices are reasonable and the woman who helped me was very nice. I would stop in again to try some other things.
