Candy Stores near Troy, MI

“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.”

“It was a very nostalgic experience! The staff were so friendly and had great stories to share! I felt like a kid buying candy at local corner store. Must go there!”

“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 !”
