Watson's Chocolates is a regional favorite and a multi-generational family business known for its high-quality chocolate confections. It is especially famous for its Sponge Candy, which many consider the best, with a light, crunchy sponge inside delectable chocolate. The store offers a large variety of items, from classic assortments and caramels to custom gifts and wedding favors. While some find the products a little expensive, customers feel the quality is worth it, citing the use of the freshest ingredients. The service is frequently noted as very helpful and personal, with staff taking great care in preparing gifts. The shop provides a genuine, welcoming experience that feels like a real place instead of a heartless chain, making it a beloved staple.
Adorabl, old school candy store to enjoy a taste of a Buffalo specialty- Sponge Candy. We purchased the Milk and Dark Sponge candy and likened it to a crispy honey-comb-like toasted marshmallow candy covered in delicious milk chocolate. Was close to the new Highmark Stadium if you wanted to tack that on to your visit.... read full comment

Yeah! After trying to find ANYONE that had sponge candy available we found it at Watson's, 4th tries the charm. The dark chocolate & orange sponge are delicious. Reminds me of the candy my parents would bring us from Northern Ireland when we were kids.
