Best bon bons ever

Somewhere around here, there's a candy shop.

And what a candy shop!!!!

So much to choose from, even the salty liquorice from Holland.

What caught my eye was some Swiss chocolate shaped like cylinders and coated with different favours, like Cookies and Cream and Creamsicle and Rum and Butter. So many flavours. You could mix or match. You could also choose how many you wanted. I chose the biggest option, a pack of ten or was it more? I cannot remember now and I left the box in on the Island with family. My description sounds so clinical but they were delicious. After dinner, we sliced off bits and pieces and sampled many flavours. Delightful!

I guess everything is relative because I found the prices here quite reasonable.

Such a charming spot with a fascinating interior. While some of the gummies and candies were fairly ordinary, the assorted bonbons and licorice were definitely worth trying.

I stumbled in to this very charming candy shop during a work trip and the owner gave me whole tour of her candy selection. She was specifically enthused about her British BonBons and gave me one to sample. It was so good I came back before heading home and grabbed a couple bags for my kids. I keep them in a gorgeous glass container and my family and I have been slowly enjoying them ever since. They’re so fresh and so flavourful and to top it off they came from literally the most charming candy shop on planet earth.

Such a cute store with a fun little selection of candies you can’t always find elsewhere. Definitely some nostalgia finds as well. Plus they seem to have notably better tasting versions of things that are usually not good at regular stores like their mint leaves, cinnamon hearts and candy corn etc.

Worth a stop in if you’re passing by or through Chemainus for sure! The gentleman working there was also incredibly friendly and helpful! As a bonus there’s a super cute little garden right behind the store worth checking out while you’re there.

What a fun and unique experience! We had an enlightening and humorous conversation with the owner while discussing various exotic sweets. Kept us sugared-up all weekend!

Came to chemainus for the first
Time and was so excited to come to this candy store. My cousin and I walked in w/
Our eight kids (between the two of us) and proceeded to be followed around by one of the shop keepers. Two six year olds from our group were talking to one of the decorations excitedly and the shopkeeper came up to them and proceeded to tell them that the decoration was $600 and if they broke it they would have no money for candy. She followed our kids around and proceeded to do this 3 more times. It was just an incredibly disappointing and jarring experience. A candy store? Really? After the fourth time of being followed and chastised, we corralled them out of there. We were two adults managing our kids and were very excited to spend money at this place of business. Very sad and disappointed this was the outcome.
