8 Ohio Candy Shops to Stock Up on Stocking Stuffers
If you're in charge of stuffing stockings this holiday season, consider stopping by one—or more—of Northeast Ohio's many outstanding candy shops. Buy some sweets to treat yourself, and then score some great stocking stuffers for everyone on your list. From nostalgic pre-packaged candies you remember from childhood to indulgent handmade chocolate creations, you'll be able to satisfy every sweet tooth. You'll even be able to find many candies that people with dietary restrictions can enjoy.
Check out the following Ohio candy shops to stock up on stocking stuffers.
b.a. Sweetie Candy Company
6770 Brookpark Rd., Cleveland, OH 44129
You'll need to allow a good bit of time when you visit b.a. Sweetie Candy Company since it's not only North America's largest candy store but also a fun attraction with miniature golf and an old-fashioned soda shop. You'll find the classic candies you grew up with as well as newer ones, with about 4,500 items from 190 candy manufacturers to choose from. For example, instead of finding a few Pez dispensers with candy refills, you'll find a seemingly endless assortment. Sweetie sells so much candy that it's even been able to help bring back some popular candies previously discontinued, including SloPoke and Broadway licorice rolls.
All City Candy
746 Richmond Rd., Cleveland, OH 44143

Fill stockings with your family members' favorite candies and some new ones from all the popular brands, including Hershey's, Necco, Nestle, Russell Stovers, Brach's, and more. Or buy some hand-dipped treats such as chocolate-covered pretzels, Oreos, and Nutter Butter cookies. You'll even find novelty candy items like spin pops and Pez dispensers to add to the fun. And if anyone you're stuffing a stocking for has dietary restrictions, they don't need to be left out of the candy bliss since the store stocks sugar-free, low-sugar, gluten-free, and vegan candies.
Mitchell's Fine Chocolates
2285 Lee Rd., Cleveland Heights, OH 44118
Mitchell's Fine Chocolates has carried on the traditions of European chocolatiers since its founding in 1939. You won't find the latest trendy pre-packaged candy here; instead, you'll be able to buy the kind of handmade chocolates that have been popular since the store's opening. Mitchell's specializes in dark chocolate-covered marshmallows, caramels, and truffles. Favorites at the shop include bourbon smoked salt caramels, apple cider caramels, pecan turtles, chocolate-covered nuts including almonds and Brazil nuts, signature chocolate truffles, and Grand Marnier truffles.
Eagle Family Candy Company
4590 N. High St., Columbus, OH 43214
Four generations of chocolate-making expertise go into the candy at Eagle Family Candy Company, which makes its sweet treats by hand. They're well known for handmade caramels and turtles, as well as their hand-rolled and hand-dipped buckeyes. If your family likes crunchy candy, try the peanut brittle, cashew bark, and pecan bark. For a zesty treat, buy the shop's fruit slices in flavors including watermelon, pink grapefruit, peach, and lemon. Order any amount of treats, mixing and matching along the way, and the family will even let you try a few samples if you're undecided.
