Sample Treats From The Past At The Charleston Candy Kitchen In South Carolina

Regardless of whether you grew up on the '40s or in the years since the new millennium (or any of the decades in between), biting into candy that reminds you of your youth is a delicious reminder of days gone by. Luckily, there's a store for that and it's found in beautiful, historic downtown Charleston on the corner of Market and East Bay streets exactly across from the southern end of the famous open-air Charleston Market.

Walk up the few stairs into a delicious world of candy everything.

Charleston's Candy Kitchen on historic Market Street is like taking your taste buds on a walk down a nostalgic candy-filled lane.

The large store, with its old-fashioned wooden floors, has display after display of candy. Every wall is covered with an endless array of sweets.

This includes the Great Wall-O-Candy, a bulk choose-your-own system where you can package exactly what you want in a mix-and-match style.

Barrels and barrels of individually wrapped time-honored candies from the past and present also afford the opportunity to choose as much or as little as you wish.

Charleston's Candy Kitchen is a part of the famous Savannah's Candy Kitchen brand and makes its own homemade candies including fresh pecan pralines, divinity fudge, chocolate turtles, and of course...

Candy apples. Who doesn't think of their childhood when biting into a sweet candy apple??

Speaking of kids, you're also sure to feel like a kid again with a light and creamy scoop of gelato.
