No matter how old you are, we think there's something oh-so-wonderful about stepping into a candy shop. There's nothing like the smell of sugar in the air to instantly put a smile on your face, right? The next time you find yourself traveling along Highway 395, be sure to stop at one of the most delicious candy stores in Nevada. Many travelers wander into this quaint store on a whim, only to be blown away by the amount of homemade candy that's awaiting them inside!

Hiding on the side of the highway near Washoe City is a charming little candy shop that makes for the perfect pit stop. You'll find the Chocolate Nugget Candy Factory in New Washoe City, Nevada.

This Nevada old-fashioned candy store has a very uniquely "Nevadan" style to it. Greeting you out front is a gigantic sign and what looks to be a statue of a prospector looking into the distance. It may seem pretty quirky from the outside, but the best chocolate in the West is hiding inside.

The interior of what we think is one of the most modest candy stores in Nevada is stuffed to the brim with different types of candy. If you have a sweet tooth, then you will be in absolute heaven as you peruse the homemade candies.

The family-owned candy store has been in operation by three generations of candy-makers. Chocolate Nugget Candy originally started in Akron, Ohio but moved to the Washoe Valley in 1983. There's a reason this business has survived on a remote stretch of the highway for 35 years. It's because the candy speaks for itself.

The owners believe in using nothing but the freshest and finest ingredients for their candy. Here you'll find over 100 varieties of lip-smacking-good chocolate. Not to mention an entire room that's dedicated to salt water taffy! Yet another reason why this is one of the best candy stores in Nevada.

This Nevada old-fashioned candy store also contains various novelty items as well. You'll even find a collection of bacon-themed items such as bacon soda, chocolate bacon, cotton candy bacon, and more. Don't be afraid to let your inner child come out and indulge in all of these unique sweet treats.

Of course, don't forget to take a picture with the giant, 18-foot-tall prospector before you head out back on the road. The Chocolate Nugget is a true Nevada oddity and it's a must-visit on your next road trip.
