Candy Stores near Clawson, MI

“Lovely candy and customer service plus a clean and fun store! I can't imagine not being able to find what you're looking for here. There were no other candy stores for miles that had what I was looking for which was chocolate rocks for party favors. They even helped me measure out how much I need per container! Very helpful and again, would not have found it anywhere else within a reasonable distance. Will be returning for next party needs and with my kids for fun!”

“Best prices for candy especially if you’re buying in bulk or large quantities. Been going here for years for candy. Thank you for keeping your prices affordable.”

“I always go here for my cake decoration ... They do pictures cake toppers also I'm a year round customer my grandkids love seeing themselves on the cake .. cheerleader, football, cartoon decorations awesome”

“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 !”

“I love this store and have consistently gone since they have opened in Ferndale. My kids also love it and have spent many birthday and Christmas bucks there. I have only had positive experiences, I really enjoy shopping around and always find something I end up buying.
A weird experience when we went yesterday for my sons birthday. I think it was weird. The large squishy toys they had were kept behind the register and my son asked for one to purchase. He picked out other items, bought them and the squishy. I went to purchase my stuff and he showed me the squishy, I saw it had white stuff on both ends and glitter on some parts. I asked the employee if he could pick out another one, the employee said they aren't allowed to (ie: allow the customer to choose which squishy. That they're paying for. At a physical retail store). He did attempt to scrape the white stuff off with his nails with no luck. I asked the employee if he could trade it out then for one that didn't look so used. He said he wasn't supposed to, seemed annoyed, but he did trade it out. That one was clean and felt better/not stretched out. So, yeah, not a huge deal but left me with an ick feeling. I'm not sure how strict the policy is for employees to not let customers pick out the behind the counter toys, but feels like it could be relaxed for paying customers.”

“Great store!! yummy snacks, I love the different flavored ice-cream superman is my favorite.The owner is nice and I love his friendly dog.The gentleman that said he got attacked a few months ago provoked the dog. I highly recommend this store give it a try.”

“Spoke with owner to place a large order for a school event. Ordered in advance and candy was ready for pickup on time! Candy was perfect for a candy bar. Children were able to select their candy and parents on the party committee were thrilled everything was pre-bagged so we didn’t have to clean up a mess at the end of the night. I’d definitely use them again for my next event.”
