Do you have someone in your life that has a sweet tooth? I do, my husband. He has his own place to stash his candy; we call it his “sweetie cupboard.” So, I had to take him to Doc Sweets' in Clawson. His eyes lit up as we walked in and we spent probably 45 minutes in the 5,000 square foot dentists’ nightmare.
Docs' Sweets huge assortment of Jelly Belly'sDoc Sweets' opened up late last year on Rochester Road, just south of 14 mile and it’s the biggest candy store in Michigan. The owner, David Sklena, is the self-appointed “candy man.” The staff were extremely friendly and told us if we couldn’t find something we were looking for to let them know. Apparently, they have a list of customer requests.
Star Trek Pez Collector's Edition, for the trekkie in your life.There are tons of bulk bins in the back, where you can buy your candy by the pound. They have the nostalgic candy that is hard to find and all the sour candy that makes my husbands eyes pop out of his head. Seriously, if you’re looking for candy this is the place to go. They also have sugar free candy. And for the more adventurous, they have chocolate covered insects. Yum!
We spent about $10 for a big ole bag of candy. We’re talking Now and Laters, Bit O' Honeys, Zots, and more. Doc Sweets' has become a monthly trip for us. It keeps the husband happy and supports the local economy. What could be better than that?
What was your favorite candy when you were a kid? I liked the candy buttons, you know, the ones that are stuck on paper. They have those, too!
