If you ever get an intense sugar craving (we’ve all been there), Sticky's Candy is the place to go! Every surface of the store is covered in succulent sweets, including foreign treats that you can’t find in your average Canadian candy shop.
Whether it's treats from across the border in the USA or across the pond in Europe, every bite is as new and decadent as the next. Lucky for us, we don't have to travel that far to enjoy these chocolates and candies– just head to Sticky's!
Milky Bar
Milky Bar is a UK-based white chocolate like you've never had. It may seem simple, but the white chocolate is so deliciously creamy and decadent that you definitely won't find it boring. There's something about English white chocolate that's just better than the stuff we know. You'll have to try it and see for yourself!
Percy Pigs
These pink gelatine smiling pigs come from the Marks and Spencer's store in England. They're a gummy candy flavoured with real fruit juices (like apple, grape, and currant) and all natural ingredients. The texture is absolutely perfect if you're a gummy candy lover, and the flavour is tangy and sweet. without being overpowering. They're hard to find so definitely go seek them out!
Bon Bons
Bon Bons are a long-lasting chewy candy unlike anything else we have in Canada. They look a bit like multi-coloured round rocks (depending on the flavour), but they soften as you chew on them and the flavour just keeps going and going. Try strawberry, green apple or blue raspberry, there are too many flavours to list them all, but believe me when I say they're ALL great!
Jelly Babies
These little "babies" from London have been around since 1885 so they must be amazing. They are all different sizes, shapes and flavours, and each flavour is given a special name. For example, raspberry (pink) is called Baby Bonny, and one of my favourites is called "Bigheart," the black currant flavoured "baby" that’s not a common flavour in North America. You'll fall in love with the cute little faces and the delicious jelly texture of these candies.
Flake
Here's a chocolate bar with absolutely no Canadian equivalent! It's been around since 1920, when a British factory employee noticed chocolate cooling in a pile as it fell in thin ribbons. The chocolate bar came about as a result, and you'll love the flaky, melt in your mouth layers. It's UK Cadbury chocolate, and it just doesn't get much more decadent than that!
There are all kind of excellent imports and new ways to #TreatYoSelf at Sticky’s Candy so, next time you get a candy craving, you'll know exactly where to go!
