Sweets and Treats!

You can’t go wrong with a box of chocolates or Easter candy for your loved ones! In Lafayette-West Lafayette, you’ll find not one but two incredible candy and sweet shops. From chocolate caramels and truffles to buttercream chocolates and more, these stores have all the sweet treats you love!

Wolf's Fine Chocolates: Local West Lafayette resident Marlene shares, "When I stay with friends and family out of town, I like to give them a gift from my hometown as a thank you for their hospitality. I discovered Wolf’s Fine Chocolates. It is the perfect place to get gifts for any occasion. They also have many delicious chocolates to take home and enjoy for yourself! When I first walked into the Sagamore Parkway location, I saw a large display case with chocolates of every variety. Two smiling employees were ready to give me suggestions and box up some of their delectable chocolates. My favorite is their cherry cordials. Yum! You can build your own box of your favorite chocolates or you can purchase a box of their already boxed and wrapped assorted chocolates. I have a family member who is diabetic, so I was ecstatic when I found out that they have sugar free chocolates available. I was able to build a box just for her and they even gift wrapped it for me. Wolf’s has more than just delicious chocolates. They also make their own sassafras, hard candies, and cinnamon/ butterscotch chews. I was even able to find a nice bundle of dried apricots for my dad.  My mom loves “Wolfies,” which are peanuts and caramel stuck together and dipped in chocolate. Wolf’s has been around for over half a century. Their philosophy is to use only the freshest, finest ingredients available. They have a strict handmade process for making candy and excellent customer service. They certainly live up to their philosophy because the chocolate is mouth watering and I always have great service."

McCord Candies: This store opened its door in 1912 and has been serving the Lafayette-West Lafayette community since then. This Easter you can hand select from a wide variety of chocolates to create the perfect box of deliciousness for your family! Not only do they have handcrafted chocolates, but Boujee candy boxes that include robin eggs, gummies, lemon shortbread and champagne bubbles. Their fondant bunnies have been a tradition for over 100 years. You can choose from lemon, vanilla, or peppermint flavored bunnies. Visit McCord's for a vintage candy store experience and to shop these and other unique gifts, including Easter gift baskets that are prepackaged or you can build yourself! When visiting, Visit Lafayette-West Lafayette Team member, Sara, suggests ordering a chocolate sundae from their old-fashioned soda shop. They make a homemade chocolate sauce that is amazing! Also, make sure you grab a bag of their signature scratch candy, Mallow Cubes! Enjoy the happy taste of fun in this perfect mix of white chocolate, marshmallow and butter rum.

Be sweet this Easter and enjoy all these homemade treats!
