Visit This 90-Year-Old Candy Shop In Iowa To Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth

If you're from Iowa, chances are you have quite the sweet tooth! After all, we're home to the Ice Cream Capital of the World and the oldest Candy and Ice Cream parlor in the country. If chocolate is more your kind of treat, you've got to make plans to visit the cutest little Iowa candy shop that's been locally famous for nearly a century.

Back in 1927, Helen Drew began crafting tasty chocolates in her basement. Word quickly spread about these tasty morsels, and the legendary Iowa candy shop, Drew's Chocolates, was born.

Today, the family business is booming! You'll find Drew's Quality Chocolates in the same place as it's always been, and this Iowa candy shop is a legendary landmark.

For more than 90 years, this small-town candy shop has made outrageously good fudge, chocolates, candy, and more.

They're known for making irresistible sea salt caramels, known as "Drew Drops." Every single morsel is fork-dipped into chocolate and their toffee, caramel, and truffles are made daily.

Along with the famous "Drew Drops," there's always a vast selection of classic treats here. From caramel clusters to toffee and truffle, Drew's has all of the candy your sweet tooth desires.

Most days, you'll find fresh chocolate covered strawberries just waiting to be devoured. They are my absolute favorite.

No matter what you pick up from Drew's Chocolates, you'll enjoy every single bite. Their assorted treats make for memorable gifts, too.

A trip to Drew's Chocolates has become an Iowa tradition for many, and you'll be happy to hear there chocolates are just as delicious now as they were when you were a kid.
