If you grew up on Maui or are from Maui, then you know Obachan's. Their iconic pink bags are seen in pretty much every grocery store, convenience store, snack shop, etc all over Maui. They are a crackseed and candy company and have been satisfying our snack cravings since 1989. That's over 30 years of yummy treats and sweets!"Crack seed" has become shorthand for a variety of dried, candied, and pickled fruits including pineapple, lemon, mango, and ginger. My go to includes their ever popular li hing mui - from the li hing mui seed to the sweet seedless variety. I can't get enough of this delicious, sweet, tangy dried plum. It's honestly a staple in my diet and I'll sometimes even chase a shot of liquor with a li hing mui seed, lol. They also have candies covered in li hing mui powder. My favorites include their li hing mui strawberry belts, mui bears with lemon, and li hing sour water melon. They have so many to choose from and best part is that they're available for shipping if you can't get to them locally.I've never been to their shop, but you can easily find their products everywhere. During the holidays, you can find them at craft fairs. They put together gift bags/tins at a really reasonable price and they make for great 'local kine' gifts.They are also great corporate gifts and they are able to accomodate large companies. They even offer an option to customize each bag with your own message. You can even use their treats for fundraisers and they are able to serve all islands and provide options!Above all, Obachan's has been a great supporter of our Maui community. They have graciously donated snacks for all of our amazing healthcare staff. They regularly participate in events like Relay For Life. This is the kind of company I love to support and I highly recommend them for personal and corporate needs!Mahalo Obachan's for providing Maui with delicious snacks for over three decades and for all you do for our community.

Very nice customer service. Good location (formerly Maui Box Shop in Wailuku). Beloved Maui snacks. My friend loves the Shredded Li Hing Mui which happens to be papaya. Store has other cute gift items. They said that on Oahu Obachan's snacks are only at the airport. So these snacks are perfect for gift giving to folks within Hawaii too. Support Maui small businesses.

Not only the best candy around but the nicest most generous people! We tried their gummies for the first time on our honeymoon in Maui and now we order them to the mainland because they’re so good. We just recently worked with them to create personalized favors for our daughters first birthday party and time and time again they prove to be the kindest people. They always send a thoughtful note in the package! If you’re anywhere close by definitely give them a visit and if you’re not the candy is worth ordering. We love the li hing watermelon, li hing pineapple belts and li hing sour chiren the most. We love you obachans!!!

While Oahu has Lin's, Maui has Obachan's. Skip all the grocery store snacks and come here instead. They packaged all the fruits and candies in 3oz bags ranging from only $2-3 each. There are the popular li hing flavors, but it's not too strong which I like. These are the perfect souvenirs to bring back for friends and family too. We ended up grabbing a few items to try and ate them on the plane.Although it's a small shop, they have plenty of options to choose from. We got the ginger candy, li hing ginger candy, mango drops and lychee drops. I would get all of these again.

Met the owners, super nice people. We visited on a day when they were closed, but they were so nice to open up just so we can grab a bunch to purchase!! Definitely a mom and pop's shop to support. They told me they have been making candy for 30 years!! If I run out of candy, I'll definitely order some online :)

If you want to find the best candy in hawaii Obachan's is where it's at!! The best candy products in the islands, so much so that I use there product to build care packages to all my people back on the mainland. If you have not tried any of Obachan product you are waisting your life!! Check the product out and make your own option. I bet it will have you wanting to leave a 5 star review like me.
