Maybe it’s the turning of the season and the onset of fall, or maybe it’s just because it’s a regular, old, day–but, man, we’re just loving chocolate lately! We carry an incredible selection of chocolates here at Sweet River. Our favorites though? Chocolate from Abdallah. (Awhile back we posted a blog all about why we […]
Hey, September! Welcome :) We’ve recently gotten over our mourning of another summer gone and have now, instead, decided to embrace Autumn in all of its leaf changing, chilly weather and blustery glory. After all, Fall is pretty welcomed around here since, you know…Anoka IS the Halloween Capital of the World and all :) (Find […]
We hope that school started off on a GREAT note this year! As we sat down, in a beautiful. the-kids-are-back-at-school-silence, we started thinking…it seems like pretty much every week we’re blogging about the joys of candy, posting sugary photos and pinning new candy recipes. Everything we do is all about the sugar! We are incredibly aware […]
Well, here we are, smack dab in the middle of the Minnesota State Fair, less than a week from sending the kids back-to-school and at the verge of another Labor Day weekend. (Holy cow, that came quick!) Lots of shops are bringing in the fall stuff already…but, we’re happy with just a little more summer. […]
How’s the back to school shopping going? Clothes and shoes and supplies, oh my! Have you started, or are you finished? Or, maybe you’re like us and somewhere in the middle. After looking back at our last few blogs, we noticed we’ve been rambling on, and on, about state fair food, and candy recipes, and […]
Well, if you’ve been following the last few blogs–you might have noticed our growing, Pinterest, obsession :) (Come follow us, if you haven’t already!) Maybe it’s just the late summer boredom kicking in, but we are having a great time finding, and making, new, candy recipes at home, as well as passing them onto you! […]
Already…here we are; August 1st is tomorrow folks! School supplies are out on the shelves (we avoid that part of the store right now, we’re not ready), county fairs are in full swing, school open houses are getting ready to happen and, we’re all buzzing about the 2014, Minnesota State Fair! I bet you can […]
Don’t you just love summer craft fairs? You can bring the whole family; there’s so much to see and do. There are unique vendor’s and art, and homemade goods and treats. Anoka’s Riverfest and Craft Fair is happening this weekend and guess what we’re going to have, right outside our door!? We’ll give you a […]
As Memorial Day approaches, I started thinking back when I was little. Every, single, time we got in the car to take a road trip, up north, to the cabin, we made a candy stop before we left town. My sister and I were each given a couple bucks and told to pick out whatever […]
Have you ever tried Mary Jane candy? (For us, it was usually what was left in the Halloween bucket when all the other candy was gone–but, it was still good, none-the-less!) We like it much more as an adult and have grown to appreciate its classic, chewy, peanut butter and molasses flavor. If you’re still […]
