If you find yourself in Missouri craving some sweets, you’re in luck. There’s a plethora of places to satisfy your sweet tooth. From the classic to the socially conscious to the works of candy art, Missouri is more than able to help you out. Here are the 5 best candy stores in the state.
Chip’s Chocolate Factory, Kansas City, MO
Unlike other candy stores that stock and sell popular favorites, Chip’s Chocolate Factory makes 95 percent of everything it sells right in their store. They are most famous for their Kansas City Fudge—their own creation—which they sell in over 40 flavors!
The Candy Factory, Columbia, MO
The Candy Factory is a chocolatier in Columbia, with some of the most creative and mouthwatering original creations this side of the Mississippi. They offer chocolate pizza, chocolate theme baskets, gift box towers, and best of all chocolate and coffee baskets. They’re most famous for their chocolate covered strawberries, which they offer in five different kinds of chocolate!
How Sweet is This, Clayton, MO
It bills itself as the “Itsy Bitsy Candy Shoppe,” and at 300 square-feet, it’s not kidding. How Sweet is This has organized so many unique and classical goodies into one tiny shop that it was named one of the Food Network’s “50 Best Candy Stores in America.”
Andre’s Confiserie Suisse, Kansas City, MO
There’s a reason Swiss chocolate is world famous, and one visit to Andre’s in Kansas City will make it clear why. Along with the delectable bakery treats, they offer hand-made chocolates and other gourmet candies that may be par for the course in Switzerland, but definitely stand out here! Andre’s has opened several locations, but the original location on the Plaza is still the best for old-world atmosphere.
Askinosie Chocolate, Springfield, MO
It’s hard to know where to start piling on accolades for Askinosie in Springfield. They were named one of Forbes “25 Best Small Companies in America,” they share their knowledge with candy students through their Chocolate University, and they buy local and support local farmers. In addition, they give a percentage of their income away so they can “do as much good as we can in the world.” But they recognize that none of that would be possible without the chocolate, so the bulk of their efforts goes toward making the best, most creative, and most delicious chocolate in the world.
