They had jellybeans, gummies, chocolate, swedish fish and classic caramels and taffies. My son filled a pretty sizeable bag of goodies and it came out to less than $10. The owner was also very knowledgeable about the history of south county as a long term resident of the area whose family had lived there since the 1600's. It definitely felt like walking back in time to a historic piece of Rhode Island. Stop by if you're in the area and ask the owner for some stories while picking up sweets!

I pass by it everyday going through the rotary, but for years could never figure out how to get there. One day, after years on wondering, I asked my wife how to get there, and she told me the entrance is behind that gas station on Pleasant Street. Well today, I did it, I successfully found my way inside In search of sugar free chocolates for my crazed diabetic mother-in-law. It's a decent size shop, with some nice displays, and a variety of different candies, but it seems everyone is there for the chocolates. Service was very nice, and willing to accommodate my special request of a custom sugar free gift set. They took the extra time and effort to decorate the two gift sets I bought in Valentines Day red ribbon. It's strictly candy, and much more of a variety of chocolates than Pete's Sweets down the street. P.S. To the old man(must of been Maureen's father)who was blatantly watching me as soon as I walked in. Chill out dude, I didn't rob them or steal anything, but did give them a $50 sale, and a four star Yelp review. Stopped in a second time and the place was in disarray. The carpet was dirty, and needed to be vacuumed. The chocolate cases were all messed up and low on supply. Maureen wasn't in the greatest mood. My wife was less than impressed with the state of the place, selection, and especially the prices.

Do not sleep on this candy store!

Every candy here is curated from all over the world. You can find amazing Swedish candies to Italian hard candies. Everything is so organized and so fun to look at! It was so fun to ask questions about where all the candy comes from and even try a piece to see what to get! You can scoop your own bag and feel all the nostalgia or buy a prepared bag or individual pieces. There is so much to choose from it can definitely be overwhelming but the woman at the counter was so patient with us and gave us some really awesome suggestions! My daughter loved their play station and it was a serious relief she was occupied with that so I could focus on finding some goodies for the fam. We opted for a variety of their sour Swedish candy and a bag of Italian hard candies. We even got this gigantic gummy worm and my daughter was just mesmerized at us pulling it out of the container! Though it's definitely pricey you are getting high quality candy from all over the world. This shop is incredibly unique. You do get a discount if you shop at their bakery first so definitely do that because I'm telling you are about to spend a lot because everything is just so good! Definitely will be here again!

Candy Works is a specialty candy and confectionary shop that opened in Clinton, Connecticut in June…read more2020. It was founded by sisters Michele Riccio and Christine Gazzillo, with assistance from their parents Clement & Marie Gazzillo. The two sisters come from a family with experience in the restaurant business; their father Clement is a longtime restaurateur and a current partner at Petrillo's Pizza Pub & Grill in Madison. Michele works as a paraprofessional for the public school system while Christine is a registered dental hygienist. When a candy store that had previously been a location of the Fuzziwig's Candy Factory chain went up for sale, the sisters' father encouraged them to purchase it and go into business together. Clem had always dreamed of having a business where the whole family would be involved. Located in the lower level of Clinton Premium Outlets (aka Clinton Crossing), Candy Works specializes in carrying a wide selection of candy bars, nostalgic candies, old-fashioned glass-bottled sodas, freshly baked goods, and even novelty gifts. Even the sisters' mother Marie helps out with making the freshly baked goods. I recently stopped at Candy Works with my two young sons. I had previously visited many years ago when it was still Fuzziwig's Candy Factory. The set-up of the store is essentially the same, but the Gazzillo family put their own spin on things. The interior was loaded with every conceivable candy variety that you could think of: chocolate bars, jelly beans, gummies, hard candies, gum, fudge, lollipops, taffy, etc. Many of the candies were ones that I haven't seen, or even thought about, in many years. They also had quite a few novelty and gag gifts. I told my two sons that they could pick out any candy that they wanted. You want to know what they both picked out? Ice cream.... doughwiches to be exact. Oh brother; they crack me up. I however decided to pick out a nice mix of candy bars for myself, including "Zagnut", "Oh Henry!", "Abba-Zaba", "Chunky", and a "Cannoli Bar". These will all come in handy on future trips to the movie theater. Whether you're looking for your favorite candy bar, hard candies to make "goodie bags", a funny gag gift, or a nostalgic candy that you haven't seen since your childhood, then you need to make a trip to Candy Works!
