This Candy Store in Missouri Was Ripped Straight From The Pages Of A Fairytale

Sometimes all we need to add an extra oomph to our step on an otherwise ordinary day is to treat ourselves to a hearty helping of nostalgia. Step through the front door of this candy store in Missouri and there's a pretty good chance that childhood memories will come flooding back. How many of your old favorites will you find on the shelves?

Look for the bright pink bench and you'll know you've arrived at Sweet Things Sweet Shop in Ste. Genevieve, which bills itself as the "World’s Okayest Candy Store."

Chances are pretty good you're going to disagree with that assessment and perhaps crown it one of the best candy stores you've ever visited.

If you love chocolate, you'll find a generous assortment. You might have difficulty, in fact, deciding what to choose - truffles, chocolate almonds, or chocolate bars.

Remember how fun it was to look for our favorite candy as a kid? You'll find a slew of childhood classics - from jawbreakers and Astro Pops to Wacky Wafers and Pez.

How about treating yourself to a massive sugar rush with a helping of cotton candy?

Keep an eye out for other favorites too. Jelly Belly Jelly Beans, gummies, and Necco Wafers are just a few more favorites you might find on the shelves.

Make sure you visit during holiday seasons - like Christmas and Easter - when you'll be able to stock up on themed candy.

While Sweet Things Sweet Shop might be an "okay" candy shop, it's also a toy store and bookstore. Even if you don't have a sweet tooth, you can pick up something fun. Remember Mad Libs?
