Easter, every year, goes like this for us — Us: ‘Yay, the weather is getting warmer! Yay, the windows are open and the house feels clean! Yay, spring break! Yay, no more snow! Wait. OMGoodness. Easter is in five days!? WHAT!? How did this happen!? We are so behind!’ It goes from lollygagging around, to […]
Head’s up…there’s a little holiday comin’ your way. Saint Patrick’s Day is just around the corner and we’ve got some fun, home made, candy treat ideas for you on the blog today. (Also, we don’t mean little like it doesn’t matter. Calm your taters down. We just mean it’s no Easter, or anything.) We try […]
Well, since we’re Anoka’s favorite candy store, we probably shouldn’t admit this–but, we’re not really fans of those little, Valentine’s Day, conversation hearts. (Being a candy store, it seems like we should just love it all, right? We don’t.) When we were in Kindergarten, they were cool–since then, well, they’re kinda like the mini candy […]
Thanksgiving is here in just about a week–there aren’t a lot of Thanksgiving candies out on the market, or on our shelves, but we still have all the favorite retro and nostalgic ones! (And some newbies, too. :) ) Are you hosting this year? Or, are you heading out, and letting someone else do all […]
This could be one of our most controversial posts ever; but, we need to talk about it. Here goes…we love candy corn.* We love everything about it. The smell, the texture, the taste, the colors–it’s the perfect Fall/Halloween treat. (*Not everyone at Sweet River Candy feels this way…only one person can write this blog though. Hah!) We […]
Welcome to Halloween Blog Number Two in our Halloween Bloggin’ Series! Like we said before, Anoka is the Halloween Capital of the World, and we’re Anoka’s favorite candy store; so, we take our duty to bring you the best of Halloween, and candy, very seriously. Our last blog was all about the fudge–today’s is brought […]
We thought we’d have a little chocolate coin fun with today’s blog! We had an Anoka mom in the candy store the other day asking if we could order, for her, the coins in bulk; she needed them for her child’s upcoming, Jake and the Never Land Pirates birthday party. (She was debating between that, […]
We were just next door, chatting with our friends in our favorite flower shop about how busy they get with delivery during Mother’s Day week and how they’re already getting ready for it all. It was in this conversation that we realized that Mother’s Day is in just over a week, holy cow. (Does it […]
Somehow, this year, the kids in the Anoka-Hennepin School District lucked out with an beautiful Spring break! The weather actually feels like Spring out there. :) (That didn’t seem to happen often when break was earlier in the year.) I always think it’s funny how excited they are about getting out of school–but, by the […]
The calendar, and the weather guys, all keep tellin’ us it’s Spring–but, up here, in Anoka, Minnesota–it feels a bit more winter-like lately. We had some snow this past weekend (though the South Metro got much more than us folks up here in the Northwest chunk of the Twin Cities), and we have some snowy/rainy […]
