It’s more than a candy shop, it’s a candy land offering a sweet interactive tour. The adventure begins on the sidewalk outside with a life-size buffalo poster and large lollipops. Upon entry your sense of smell is delighted with freshly baked treats, including fudge, cookies and bacon!

Probably the most shocking candy is their Oinks-brand chocolate covered bacon. The salty-sweet combination catches unfamiliar tourists off guard, surprised to see it and anxious to try it. It’s made with crispy Applewood-smoked bacon that’s individually dipped into their homemade chocolate. After which is drizzled in white chocolate.
