candi’s candies.

May 25th 2010

oh my. how did i not know about this place sooner?
salt water taffy lovers (or any candy lovers for that matter),
there is a place in oldtown where there are buckets of taffy.
BUCKETS i tell you.
we stopped by candi’s candies with my sisters
on saturday afternoon and stocked up on our salt water taffy supply.
it’s been a good past couple of days.
cause we’re on a sugar high.
oh yeah.

  1. candy haven! awesome! me want some. :P

  2. I love the idea of just picking the flavors you like (and not putting up with the grody ones!)

  3. yum! i love taffy and candy barns!

    Every year growing up we would go to the State Fair of Texas and come home with a big box of salt water taffy.

    I'm pregnant and am now officially craving taffy!! Want to send some in the mail? haha!

  6. I love salt water taffy! I had all different flavors of it on a candy table at my wedding. I think I could eat myself sick with it. Maybe I do everytime I have it…

  8. I'm totally obsessed with salt water taffy, especially since Trader Joe's just started selling it! It's dangerous . . . I've already eaten two bags this week. :(

    I just ate a bunch of salt water taffy at work today. My fave is the pink kind with the red stripes on the edge. Tastes like cherry I think? Yum.

    There is this city in Michigan called Frankemuth and there they have lots and lots of sweet water taffy stores. There is one that is wall to wall, floor to ceiling taffy. I scream a little bit out of excitement every time I enter. Amazing. Hope you enjoy all your sweets :)

  20. Maybe you should be a candy photographer because I never crave taffies but I want some after seeing these pictures.

  21. What?! I live 2 miles from Old Town and didn't know about this place! Stopping by today sounds like a really fantastic idea…
