Albanese Candy In Indiana Claims To Have The World’s Best Gummy Bears
Sometimes, the call of the sweet tooth is just too sweet to resist. Albanese Candy in Indiana exists solely to scratch that itch, and scratch the itch it will, with its generous selection of incredible homemade candies and confections. The store claims – and we might agree, honestly – that it not only has the best gummy bears in the entire state, but it has the best gummy bears in the world.
Albanese Candy was founded by Scott Albanese in 1983, making it a relatively new business in Hoosier State terms.
Don't let its youth fool you, though - there's something truly special about Albanese Candy, and lucky for us, it's a local delicacy known worldwide for its incredibly high-quality sweets and confections.
Albanese Candy has been a trailblazer in the candy industry, researching and finding new ways to pack more sweetness and more flavor into each and every gummy it produces.
The result is sticky-sweet amazingness that you might love so much you'll want to bathe in it.
Albanese cranks out about 300,000 pounds of gummy bears every day. With numbers like that, its claim to fame as being the "world's best" is given plenty of credence.
If gummy bears, gummy worms, sour gummies and other gelatin-based treats aren't quite your thing, no worries: Albanese Candy creates all kinds of delectable sweets to indulge in.
If you're a chocolate fan, you'll love the lengthy selection of chocolate-based candies like bars, nuggets, and chocolate-dipped everythings, like these Oreos. If you've never had a chocolate-covered Oreo, you desperately need to. It's a special kind of perfection, especially when it's made by Albanese!
We suspect that, much like recent years here in Indiana, Albanese Candy will make itself a global classic as one of the premier chocolatiers and gummy gurus.
We feel quite lucky to have such a legendary candy maker right here in our backyards. Albanese has won a few awards over the years for its unique and oh-so-splendid sweets, and each award is well-deserved.
At the time of this writing, there are two outlet stores located in Merrillville; you can find more information about both on the Albanese Candy website. You can also search for the store closest to your doorstep here.
