Hello there! Nice to see ya, today. :) We hope the first week of Spring, 2017, is treating you well. We’re excited around the shop this week because we just got a load of brand new Jelly Belly jelly beans in! Now, we love a lot of candy–but, Jelly Belly’s are one of our all-around […]
Hello! Welcome back to Sweet River’s, awesome, little candy blog! We hope that January, up here in Anoka, MN, finds you warm, sane, and happy. (We throw in sane because we know how being stuck inside, with closed windows, can make any person feel a little nuts after awhile. Especially, if you have young kids, […]
You guys! We just saw the report in USA Today detailing America’s Halloween time spending and we’re shocked! I mean, sure, we’re a little store, in a little town–and, we’re a little old (just kiddin’; kinda)–but, this year, the average amount that each American shopper will spend is 82.93–and that just seems crazy to us. Add […]
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! […]
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, […]
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 […]
We’ve been busy gearing up for Father’s Day here at Sweet River Candy Company. (As has Main Floral, next door. Have you seen some of the flower arrangements they have for Dad!? I think anyone, Dad or not, would love to have one of these delivered! Check ’em out: Truck, Mustang, Grill and Jeep.) If […]
Well, here it comes, another holiday that fills the kids with candy, and has us sneaking it when they aren’t looking! (Those are our favorites. :) ) Easter is right around the corner and even though yes, the Easter Bunny does most of the work–we still need to, sometimes, help out a bit. (It’s a […]
I remember back when I first watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. (Of course, the Gene Wilder one. The Johnny Depp one just isn’t anywhere near the same and I’m still confused why anyone felt the need to remake perfection. ;) ) Willy Wonka was the first movie that: A) intrigued me, B) excited […]
Valentine’s Day is in FOUR DAYS! Yikes! Are YOU ready yet? All it takes one call to us–we’ll deliver everything right to your recipient. Main Floral has the flowers and we have the chocolates!
