Remember how much fun going to the candy store was when we were kids? Sure, we had fun when mom and dad were along, but we usually had to beg for our favorite candies. When we had a few dollars in our pocket, though, and visited the neighborhood candy store on our own, we had the whole sugary-sweet world at our fingertips. Feel that childhood magic again as you stock up on your old-time favorites at this charming candy store in Pennsylvania.
Fill your pockets with quarters and dollar bills – you’ll need just a bit more than the pennies of yesteryear – when you visit The Peppermint Stick Candy Store in Boyertown.
The charming candy store sells a delicious selection of old-school candy, including penny candy. (You’ll pay a bit more than a penny these days, however. Today’s penny candy often costs between 15 and 50 cents.)
Don’t forget to grab a few root beer barrels, Good & Plenty, and caramels. You can even buy a gift package of candy from the 1900s, which includes such favorites as conversation hearts and Tootsie Rolls.
If you’d like to journey back a little further in time, try the Civil War candy package. You’ll get rock candy sticks, Necco Wafers, and other popular Civil War-era candy.
While you’re at the candy shop, treat yourself to a delicious ice cream treat, too. That’s right. The Peppermint Stick serves Nelson’s Ice Cream all year around.
Stock up on all of your favorite childhood candies at The Peppermint Stick Candy Store in Pennsylvania, open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Or, stop by Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
