Candyality: Keeping dentists in business!

This week I was missing that “kid in a candy store” feeling I used to get so I decided to remedy it with a trip to…a candy store! Candyality, located at 3425 N. Southport Ave., is a quirky shop with a unique concept: you are what you eat. No, really! Candyality is all about making a connection between your sweet tooth and your soul, telling you what type of person you are based on the candy you love.

To get in touch with your inner Candyality, start by grabbing a clear plastic baggy and helping yourself to over 175 bins of mix-and-match bulk candy, individually wrapped novelty and retro candies and a ton of other sweet treats (including an M&Ms tower – a tower! Of M&Ms! Heaven!). Then take your goodies to the Candyality check-out server and ask what your candy selection reveals about you!

To shy to talk to a stranger? No worries! Candyality conveniently posts a massive guide to help you out right outside of the store.

Never again will you wonder why Gummi Bears are your go-to comfort food or what your passion for licorice really means! Candyality has it all figured out.

One of my personal favourites at Candyality is the 12 flavour gummi bears that range from blue raspberry to pink lemonade! A must for gummi bear lovers! My only advice is to avoid those “crunchy gummi bears” covered in some sort of candy coating. They were vomitious! Other than that, everything I purchased was delicious and Candyality even has chocolate babies, which are like gourmet, truffle-like Tootsie Rolls shaped like babies. Creepy but delicious!

And, if you are now getting in the Easter mood, check out their massive selection of Easter-themed candies (you can see a small selection below!).

And if gummy candy is not your thing, then you can make your way to the gourmet chocolate/truffles display tower that features nutty, nougaty and/or caramely creations drizzled, dunked or drowning in chocolate.

Oh, and please whip out your calendars now and mark down Candyality’s Jelly Belly Trunk Show that is going down on April 4th from 11-4. According to Candyality:

Candy aficionados will have the opportunity to taste test the official 50 flavors-plus more! Vintage Jelly Belly Candy Jars will be offered as a gift with a purchase of a pound or more of the tasty beans. (While quantities last) Also, get a Birdseye view of the infamous “Jelly Belly Mobile” as it motors into town from 11-2. In addition, Mr. Jelly Belly will be on hand to greet his fans through out the event.
