This Massive Candy Store In Pennsylvania Will Make You Feel Like A Kid Again
One glance at the rows of candy – penny candy, chocolate candy, every kind of candy imaginable – should just about do it. As soon as you walk into Daffin’s Candies, dubbed the world’s largest candy store, you’ll instantly feel that childhood magic rushing back. Let the stroll down memory lane begin as we take a virtual tour of this massive candy store in Pennsylvania.
Daffin's Candies has been a part of childhood for generations of children since it opened in Ohio more than 100 years ago. The Sharon location, known as the "World's Largest Candy Store," debuted in 1947.
Breathe in that candy store smell of sugar and chocolate mixed together in one tantalizing aroma when you walk through the door at Daffin's Candies, a 20,000 square foot shop that also sells Hallmark cards and other popular Hallmark merchandise.
Browse through the rows and rows of penny candy to find your childhood favorites. Grab a bag and fill it with all of those old-time candies you just can't find anywhere else.
But, really, that's just the prelude to the real star of the show at Daffin's Candies: The chocolate.
Enter the famous Chocolate Kingdom where you'll come face to face with a 400 pound chocolate turtle, a chocolate rhino, and a chocolate Ferris wheel.
Snap selfies with the 125 pound chocolate reindeer, the 75 pound chocolate frog, elephants, and other lifelike chocolate animals in the background. And, don't forget to savor the free chocolate samples.
Don't forget to stop by the candy counter to stock up on different flavors of rock candy and a variety of scrumptious fudge flavors, such as waffle fudge, strawberry shortcake, creme brulee, or coconut custard.
Make Daffin's Candies a regular stop, especially during the holidays. Jolly Old Saint Nick just might visit from the North Pole around Christmas time and the timeless candy shop hosts Easter egg hunts at nearby Buhl Park during the Easter season.
Stop by Daffin's Candies, at 496 East State Street in Sharon, Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
