OOOH! A Candy store!

We are fortunate to have a unique candy store in the next town to the east.

It’s unique because they have every candy you ever knew as a child or your parents knew as children. Companies still manufacture those candies that have since left the spotlight.

There are all the old favorites, fresh and ready to go home for a nostalgic moment with you.

When was the last time you saw a Cherry Mash, a Zero Bar, or a Mars Bar? Or how about those little root beer candies that look like little barrels?

Walking into the Hot Sulphur Candy Company is a walk down memory lane.
