Why They're Great:
The Candy Basket has old fashioned barrels of candy, filled to the brim. You'll find barrels and baskets with classics such as Necco Wafers, Bazooka Joe gum, wax lips and other retro candies, along with popular new brands of treats, such as Nintendo sweets and Pucker Powders in a variety of flavors. Pick up individual chocolate truffles from the refrigerated case, or buy a pound of your favorite flavored taffy. Mix and match is available as well.
For ice cream lovers, there are ice cream cones for as little as 99 cents.
Gift Baskets:
The Candy Basket offers candy baskets for special occasions such as baby showers, holidays, or anniversaries, party favor bags for a special birthday, and a variety of customized baskets for any occasion. Some of the special packages are in baskets, others in specialty containers such as ceramic baby shoes or popcorn buckets, which can be re-used.
The Candy Basket offers delivery.
