117 East Main Street
Hello! How’s all the Christmas stuff going? There just seems to be so much this time of year, crammed into such a short period of time. It can feel so out-of-control. Now, we know we’re a bit biased–but, if the shopping season is starting to feel nuts to you, maybe consider heading into Anoka, and […]
Hello and welcome back to the best little candy blog in the Twin Cities! Have you been up to Anoka yet to do a little small business, and local, gift shopping? If you’re headed to Main Street this Christmas season–stop in to see us! We have such great boxes of candy and hard-to-find treats which […]
Hey! Welcome to Sweet River’s candy blog! Can you believe next week is already Thanksgiving? We can’t. The flower shop next door (Main Floral), is sure busy right now–centerpieces, galore! We’ve been busy gearing up for Small Business Saturday though–we are stocked up fresh with so many of our favorite candies for either you (while […]
Well, kiddos…the new sour candy has shown up at Sweet River. It always seems to dominate our shelves during summer break. We also have a fresh shipment of what is, supposedly, the most sour candy in the world. Now, we know we’re not kids anymore, but, even as kids, this stuff would have scared us. […]
Salt water taffy feels like such a summery candy to us. (Also, take a guess as to what we just got in. ;) ) It stays soft, the colors are bright and cheery, the flavors feel like how summer would taste (you know, if it had a taste); and, quite simply, taffy makes us feel cheery! […]
Hello and welcome to summer vacation, kids! It’s such a free feeling to be out of school for a bit, huh? We’ve seen a lot of new faces in the shop lately–lots of young faces. :) We <3 it! We’ve also packed up a couple of really cute candy baskets for delivery–graduation, congratulations and ‘good job’ gifts […]
Hello and welcome back to your favorite, little, candy blog! (There aren’t too many candy blogs out there…we think that might be a safe assumption?) Since Memorial Day is coming right up, and that means summer is here–we thought we’d have a little summer time, crafty, fun around here. Between birthday, graduation, and housewarming parties, […]
Well…hello there, summer! What a way to kick off the weekend–with near 90 degree temps, and lots of sunshine. The streets are busy around Anoka today; we’re guessing they will be tomorrow too, since Diva Days is happening. (What’s Diva Days, you ask? It’s tons of great discounts, sales and local shopping! Check it out here.) […]
Never, in my life, have I appreciated Candy Buttons more than now–I have a toddler. They’re the tiniest candy, and they take hand eye coordination, and fine motor skills to enjoy; therefore, they take him a long time, and some good concentration, in order to eat just a few little treats. I liked them too, […]
Welcome to another candy review blog; it’s been awhile! I’d love to say it’s because I was on a strict diet that eliminated sugars, and that I was really religious with sticking to it…but, nope, not even close–it’s simply because I’ve had other things to write about for awhile. However, when we got in the […]
