 Candyland, USA sells more candy than any candy store I've ever visited. Tons of it! Everyday! Tons at each location! This is where you'll find whatever candy your sweet tooth desires, and in case you are reading this and missed the first location, you still have time to make it to the next.

Loose candy is offered at great prices. Bag your own and mix 'n match. I love it! There is no way I could list all the candies because Candyland offers over 800 different kinds! All my favorites are there: Mary Janes, Dots, Reese Sticks, Bit O'Honey, caramel cremes, cream fudge: vanilla, maple, peanut butter, chocolate, Hershey kisses, Nestle Raisinets...and all those wonderful gummies. Forget the calories.

Candyland has a full line of sugar free candies. This super candy emporium offers prepackaged candies, novelty candies (great for gifts) ... even candy making supplies in case you want to do your own thing. All I can say is customers come back for the homestyle fudge every year. If you love candy, Candyland is your kind of place. It is my favorite!

EDITOR'S NOTE: Candyland also sells fresh fruits and vegetables, cheeses, Amish Wedding products, all kinds of nuts, locally made maple syrup, jellies, preserves, flours and more!
