No matter how old we get, we all have those things that make us feel like a kid again – riding the coasters at Kennywood, catching a foul ball at PNC Park, and going to our favorite candy store. A trip to Sarris Candies in Pittsburgh, for example, pretty much guarantees, especially if we’re chocoholics, we’ll suffer a massive chocolate craving mixed with a rush of nostalgia. If you haven’t been yet, you’re in for a delicious treat.
Sarris Candies has been a favorite of generations of Pittsburghers, first opening its doors in Canonsburg in the early 1960s.
While Sarris Candies are sold in shops all over Pittsburgh and her suburbs, most would probably agree that nothing compares to a trip to the old-fashioned chocolate shop.
Hot chocolate bombs, boxed candy, and chocolate drizzled caramel corn are just a few of your hundreds of choices. Visit during the holidays, too, for special goodies like chocolate bunnies.
Oh, but the candy shop is just your first stop. Stroll from the shop into the adorable ice cream parlor - perfect for an ice cream treat any time of the year.
The ice cream parlor boasts a massive menu with such classics as sundaes, ice cream floats, and shakes. Handpacked ice cream pints, quarts, and half-gallons are also available to go in select flavors.
