Small town restaurants...

I'm on a mission to point out the good, the bad and the downright yucky of small town Alberta restaurants.

Candy, candy, candy!

There's a new sugar shack in town!  Sundre is home to "The Candy Shop"... a sweet-filled little gem with shelves stocked with sugary goodness!  Ahhh... this place truly speaks to my heart!


Fuzzy peaches, green frogs, big feet, sour cherries... it has all of the classics from my childhood. 



But it doesn't stop there!  Oh no.  They have chocolates that have been imported from Belgium as well as Canadian-made fresh treats.  So cool!



For our wedding (Happy First Anniversary to us today, btw), we gave out green apple and blue raspberry Jelly Bellies.  I love this Jelly Belly-dispensing unit.  Very cute!



They make candy gift baskets as well.  Hint hint, Blaine!  ;)



And tastefully (pun intended) located at the back corner of the Candy Shop is "Sugar Mama's".  Locked so that little candy shoppers don't wander in, this little secret has all sorts of goodies for adult taste buds!

Speaking of little candy shoppers... Back in the Springtime, a friend of mine was teaching elementary school and she was explaining a craft that the kids were preparing to make for Mother's Day.  One of the students suggested, "you could get some edible panties from the new candy shop to put on top for your mom!"  My teacher friend misheard the young girl and replied, "why yes, edible pansies would be a lovely addition!"

Oh dear.  I wonder if this girl's mother received edible panties for Mother's Day? 

Summary
ambiance - excellent!  Clean, new, well-organized.  I love the bubble-making-machine by the door!
value - mediocre  (specialty shoppe type prices, to be expected. If it was cheaper, I might buy candy there TOO OFTEN, if you know what I mean!)
flavour - excellent, sugary and chocolatey!
