Candy Stores near Clawson, MI

“Touted as Michigan's Largest Candy Store, but personally, I believe the square footage and candy offerings are fairly limited.

The most impressive and enjoyable part of the "candy store" is actually the immense variety of soda in glass bottles, which is technically not candy at all.

We enjoyed the visit, but I'm not interested in returning.

Since I've been there a few years ago, no candy store can compare. It's sooo cute and imaginative. I've definitely got to go back ASAP. ????✨?”

“I love this store. They have all the things that make my baking endeavors look professional. I have been coming here off and on for years. It started with baking cupcakes and cookies for my son when he was a little fella in school. He loved the way I decorated and frosted the cupcakes he shared with his classmates, and the shapes of the cookies I baked. The boxes and presentations were top notch. But let’s fast forward to the grandkiddos, I enjoy seeing them enjoy opening the boxes and containers that host the beautifully iced and decorated cupcakes and banana puddings. Heinrich’s has always been my go to place, when I want to make my baked goods present as beautifully as they taste.”

“The hubby and I went out for breakfast and did a little shopping in the area for the holidays and we had walked by this place a few times but had never gone in. We said, to hell with our diet, let’s check out some chocolate! This company didn’t disappoint!The atmosphere is simple and doesn’t have the decorated storefront and aesthetic of big brand places like Kilwins or Saunders, but where the true magic lies is in the product itself and the love that goes into their creations.We had just wanted to browse, but the lovely employee provided us with an experience unlike any other we’ve had in a chocolatier. She asked us about our chocolate preferences and what we like paired with them then offered us some samples. Woooooo buddy! The caramel covered in milk chocolate was like gifting an early Christmas gift to um taste buds. She went on to tell us about the rich history of the business that began in Détroit and all of the ups and downs that brought the company to where it is today. For a small business to make it through economic hardships and the passing of the founder is impressive. She showed us pictures of original storefront and signs which made me think of my grandma who grew up in Detroit. It brought a smile to my face thinking of her enjoying chocolate treats gifted to her from my grandpa when they were young and newly in love.We purchased their malt balls and they are the best I’ve ever had. We will certainly be back closer to the holidays to pick up our annual chocolate haul for family gifts.I’m sure many of you who read this have fallen prey to the last minute shopping madness before the holidays resulting in purchasing from large companies who manufacture or mass sell their goods (I see you Amazon and Walmart), but please consider stopping by your local businesses for your holiday shopping. Clicking ‘add to cart’ for easy two day shipping does save time and sometimes money… but the love, care, and passion that goes into making the product just isn’t there. We loved how enthusiastic the employee was and how she easily triggered happy memories and how kind she was to her community members. I give my highest of recommendations to Sweet Essentials and will certainly be back to treat my taste buds. Thank you for a lovely and memorable experience !”
