I get pretty excited about pick your own candy: the sours, the gummies, the suckers. I might even go so far as to call myself a bit of a candy connoisseur. I mean, I have been eating candy since I first convinced my parents it was okay for me to walk alone to the corner store to buy 5ยข candy at the tender age of 5 AND told them my dream was to marry someone who owned a candy store - true story... But I digress...
These days, it's manifested itself in your run of the mill, full grown, slight yearn for the good old days and refined sugar craving. And every time I see a candy sign, I'm beckoned in. I can't help myself--a candy store is like a sick addiction!
The Candy Kid has a remarkable selection of licorice, lollis, fudge, old school candies like gobstoppers and nerds, and randomly, tea. I love that their choose your own is served up in a cup that you can stuff for $2.25. I would have liked to see more choice in the choose your own tho. It was only one bank of bins and unfortunately, some of the candy choices were a wee bit stale. But regardless, candy is candy is candy and part of the fun is deciding what to pick!
Also, there's a debit card minimum of $3 which only means one thing: buy more candy!
