Life is sweeter with the best candy stores in Edmonton
I once had a “friend” say candy is just for kids. We’re no longer on speaking terms.
Kidding aside, happiness doesn’t come with an age limit; it comes in many flavors—Skittles, Reese’s, Snickers, and more! Edmonton’s candy stores prove this, offering sugar highs that make us forget life’s lows.
We put together our sweetest picks below, perfect for when you’re treating the kiddos—or, let’s be real, yourself. Just don’t tell your dentist or gym buddy!

Sweet Convenience might break your teeth, but they won’t break the bank. Loved for low-priced lollies and varied delights, this Edmonton sweetness emporium is to die for.
Local and international chocolates (chocolate edmonton) line their shelves, but you’ll also discover cereals, s’mores, and even Halloween Sour Patch Oreos (yes, they exist!). Moreover, the store has over 100 soda flavors, including ones you’ve probably never heard of before.

The shelves and jars at Rocket Fizz never stay the same. Every time we visit, there’s always a new and quirky temptation to sabotage our diet, like the recent sparkling wine jelly beans that had us dreaming of brunch.
What remains constant is their wild collection of candy and bottled sodas only the brave and creative could imagine—case in point: the “dirt-flavored” and buffalo wing soda collections.

YEG EXOTIC
– From yegexotic

Contact Details: (780) 993-4934

You’d be hard-pressed to find someone from the Sunny Edmonton team who hates YEG EXOTIC. Filled with elusive throwback treats and sweets from popular YouTuber MrBeast, this store never fails to impress even our hardcore candy critics.
Their soda collection also pushes the envelope, daring the brave with flavors like P&J or mustard. If outlandish doesn’t stick with your palate though, stick to timeless favorites like Hershey’s and Nerds, which they have an abundance of here.
| Tip: Browse their online shop for fashion goodies besides candy! |

Sure, IT’SUGAR’s jumbo-sized sweets aren’t for the faint-hearted spender, but hey, they still deserve a spot here. Our kiddos love them mainly because of the shop’s list of brand-name staples and packs of Asian treats.
The store is also a technicolor dreamland and pulsing with energy; bops play here all the time. They’re also not afraid to be rebellious with exclusives like “urine” sour treats and gummy bear cereals.

Anyone who claims to hate bonbons clearly hasn’t gotten their hands on a box from Chocolate Escapade, especially the vanilla caramel. With bold Madagascar vanilla notes and a silky-smooth texture, it’s nothing short of a sweet knockout.
We’re also die-hards of the London Fog Caramel thanks to its Earl Grey tea and lavender essences. It also has enough vanilla to make it the dessert (desserts edmonton) that every foodie in town keeps raving about.

Resisting a bag of Carol’s Quality Sweets’ high-quality licorice is like trying to diet during the holidays—basically impossible. This is especially true with their toffee licorice, famous for its deep, bittersweet flavors.
But if licorice isn’t your flavor, don’t sweat. The store’s gumdrops, taffies, peanut brittle, and old-school candy sticks won’t disappoint.
| Tip: If you want to savor their famous peanut brittle, be an early bird. This one flies off the shelves fast. |

When it comes to guilt-free chocolate, Natural Kitchen Delights is Edmonton’s poster child. Ethically sourced from Ecuador, their maple-sweetened gems contain no additives or preservatives, proving that healthy desserts can taste fantastic.
Their Original Nude Raw option is the must-have with its intensely deep and earthy flavors stemming from 85% cacao. It’s also enhanced by a hint of maple syrup and a sprinkle of sea salt, so the flavors aren’t one-dimensional.

Don’t say we didn’t warn you: Phil’s Fudge Factory might just ignite a fudge obsession. Seriously, they’ve racked up awards because of their delicious fudges that come in dozens of flavors.
We buy the Canadian maple pecan the most since we’re crazy about its crunch, nuttiness, and balanced sweetness. Second in line is the chewy praline, featuring mouthwatering gooey fudge and caramel swirls that are downright drool-worthy.
