Suckers Candy Co.
The bright and wacky storefront enticed us to enter, but it was the retro candies, items from around the world, and giant chocolate bars, that kept us there for hours.

Bulk Mine
With British imports like authentic crisps and Cadbury buttons as well as everything from nuts and spices to Jelly Beans of every flavour, we found enough scrumptious snacks to hit our sweet spots from now until the holidays.
Bulk Mine; 655 Yonge St. (at Charles St.); 416-513-0783
Acme Candy Company
This bubblegum-blue store is not only a yummy candy shop but also a joke shop - with Willa Wonka-type wacky decor (think candy machines, gadgets and giant blow-up animals on the walls).
Acme Candy Company; 2978 Dundas St. W. (West of Keele St.); 416-763-4416
Johnvince Foods
We love buying bulk for the incredible deals, and when it’s a bulk store that offers any candy, snack or treat we could possibly imagine, we love it even more.

The Old Firehall Confectionery
The aromas wafting onto the street from the fresh, in-house made candy apples, waffle-wrapped chocolate treats and made to order stone slab ice cream make it worth the detour from the city.
