When Goodies Handmade Candies opened up in Spirit Lake more than 3 decades ago, the community instantly fell in love. This little family-owned shop makes the tastiest sweets around, and if you’re looking for an amazing chocolate shop in Iowa, it’s hard to beat. Plan a trip up to the Great Lakes region and be prepared to indulge in the best truffles and turtles you’ve had in years.
Goodies Handmade Candies has been a staple of life in the Spirit Lake area for nearly 35 years, and after all that time, they've earned the reputation of being the best chocolate shop in Iowa.
In the wintertime, people stop by to try their gourmet hot chocolate or coffee. When the sun is shining in the summer, this is a hoppin' spot for Blue Bunny Ice Cream sundaes.
They make batch upon batch of assorted truffles. Try the Birthday Cake truffle, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Margarita, Irish Cream, Cool Mint — or browse the whole selection to pick a mixed box of favorites.
Treat someone you love with a gift box for their birthday, or during the holiday season. Even if they aren't chocoholics, you can pick out a variety of candies to please anyone with a sweet tooth.
Create an assorted box of sweets to take home for your whole family. Everyone will love the toffee, dipped fudge, almost and peanut clusters, chooclate-covered cherries, and more.
Goodies is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., so there’s plenty of time to get your chocolate fix, even if you have to plan a road trip to the Great Lakes.
