Nothing makes us happier and brings out the child within quite like candy.
Even better if that candy is being made fresh just a few steps away from where
you're perusing the selections with glee. What will it be? Maybe a luscious truffle
filled with huckleberry cream, a mouthful of chewy hand-pulled saltwater taffy,
nutty crisp toffee, or buttery chocolate fudge that melts in your mouth.
You can get all these and more, along with a hefty dose of nostalgia for a simpler
time, with a visit to these five Montana candy shops. The candy makers at each
of these take great pride in their sweet creations and are committed to working
hard every day to bring joy to their loyal local customers who have been
coming to the shop for years and those visiting for the first time.
Some candy is made from family recipes handed down through generations,
and some are creations from ideas sparked by the confectioners' wondrous
imaginations, but all candy is made with love. Whether you're a
kid or a kid-at-heart, you'll savor the flavors of the homemade candy
at these shops and want to return again and again.
