My spouse and I absolutely love visiting Barrel O Candy in Virginia City. It has become one of our favorite places to indulge in some sweet treats. On our last visit, we had the pleasure of being assisted by two lovely young ladies who were incredibly helpful. We were spoilt for choice with the variety of flavor taffy candies they had to offer. It was such a delightful experience selecting different flavors and filling our bucket with a rainbow of taffy flavor candies. The friendly and knowledgeable staff only added to the overall enjoyment of our visit. Barrel of Candy has truly become a destination for us to satisfy our sweet tooth and create wonderful memories together.

Sub par candy shop trying to capitalize on the touristy draw that is Virginia City. Poor selection and the taffy selection was severely lacking. On top of that, the candy is super stale. The taffy crumbles and feels like it’s going to take a tooth crown off. Extremely expensive for what it is.

If you don't mind being ripped off, the candy store is fun to browse with a big selection that you can mix & match to pay by the pound. The price is $8.93 per half pound, but there are no scales for you to know how much you've put in the basket. When it's time to pay, the lady pours your candy into a large bowl (you have no idea if they start to weigh your candy at 0 pounds like an honest business), "weighs" it, and types any number she wants to charge you into the register. Pretty sure I got about 6 ounces of candy, but was charged a flat $10. If you go for the novelty and variety of candy, this place is decent. If you want to support an honest (or friendly) business, this place is not it.

I'm fairly local. This business charges by the half pound for their candy. I was quite dismayed when I got home and found they had added 3 very heavy Jelly Belly suckers in my bag. I'm assuming to bring the weight to the next half pound. I did not select any Jelly Belly product. Feeling cheated.

I would like to speak to the owner. Is it normal that you acuse 10 year old girls of stealing things when you don't actually see them conceal it? I am seriously thinking of calling an attorney. You guys ruined our trip to VC yesterday. Your clerk accused my niece of stealing after I purchased the things that she picked out and put into my basket...$62 worth of candy! Then her mom purchased $40 worth when you decided to accuse her and made us check her pockets, where there was nothing! You seriously messed up with this one. Leave me your number, I'll be calling you.

Wide selection of fun candy but the salt water taffy is so hard.

We were just there a week ago Oct 22. Mostly salt water toffee in the place. Which I usually love. BUT not here. I have never had such old toffee candies. It is as if they may have been purchased pre covid and they are still trying to sell them. They crumble out of the rappers. And have a hard outer layer. All of them all the flavors. Very disappointing considering it was by far the most expensive candies I have purchased. My local grocery store is a fraction of the price and fresh. Barrels O Candy you should lower price drastically or switch out your stock.

They have any and every kind of candy you could imagine here. Had some very interesting taffy flavors. I bought a half of pound of a variety of flavors and it was very tasty taffy. Super friendly staff!

Spent $40 on mostly salt water taffy, got home to discover most of it was rock hard. Pretty disappointing.

There are no prices and we got sucked in by the girl outside the door offering us a rootbeer candy which tasted okay. We went inside and decided we would buy some for our grandkids. Would you believe I paid $11.25USD for 8.6OZ of candy? It is not just expensive but HIGHWAY ROBBERY!!! I have not even paid that much for real Belgium chocolate! Once bitten, twice shy! I will never to back to Virginia city ever again. BUYER BEWARE!!!
