Bedford Candies

Great chocolate store with the new addition of popcorn adding to it. They have 10+ flavors of popcorn that you can try with a variety of sizes you can buy, ranging from $ 2 bags to giant tins of popcorn. The meltie seems to be a favorite amongst the town (peanut butter and chocolate) Everyone there is also very friendly.

Bedford Candies is a high quality, old fashioned chocolatier. My wife and I stumbled upon the in-​store location on our drive across country in 2012. We were very pleased with the quality of the candy and customer service. They also have a very fast and convenient online store with reasonable prices and shipping rates.
As an added bonus, we found that their chocolates were deemed acceptable by my very picky mother, who refuses to eat any candy aside from a few artisanal chocolatiers. Since 2012, Bedford has been a staple gift for her and has made my life a lot easier around the holiday season. For that reason, Bedford has a customer for life.

The popcorn and their selection of candies is incredible. We bought four small bags of their popcorn as gifts.
Their staff was apathetic at best. I hate to leave a negative review on such a neat store but the girls working their treated us as an imposition more than a chance for a sale.
My wife and I are both from a tourist town ourselves, and realize how important it is to behave in front of locals or visitors alike.
Really that was the disappointing thing.

While staying at the Omni Beford Springs, our group ventured into town and came across this gem of a candy store. Their Easter candy was out as soon as you walked in the door. A little farther back, the various flavors of popcorn. Then the truffles and chocolate covered fruit. And at the back end, the homemade fudge. Everything was fantastic. The samples were appreciated and actually made it more difficult to choose our goodies because we ended up wanting to take EVERYTHING home with us! Definitely worth a stop in to look around, yum!

Mmmmmm… nice little find while strolling through town during the Fall Foliage Festival. The dark chocolate peanut butter Melties were delicious and the popcorn with caramel, dark chocolate and sea salt was addicting. I will be placing an order on line for a fix until my next visit.

Cute little shop in downtown Bedford that was a highlight of the Fall Foliage Festival this past weekend. Walking down the main streets of the downtown area is a real treat, and an even better treat is stopping in here for chocolate, fudge, and gourmet popcorn tastings! I didn’t originally plan on getting anything, but after trying a few of the flavors of popcorn, I was almost blown away at how delicious they were. My boyfriend and I ended up getting the apple flavor and candy corn. My favorite, surprisingly, was the apple flavor, a bag of which I almost finished on the drive back home to the city.

Cute shop. Friendly staff who are generous with the samples. A good value.
They make their own chocolates which are only OK, but I am an admitted chocolate snob.
What really brings this place up to four stars is the popcorn. Seriously some of the best candy popcorn I’ve ever had and I’ve eaten a lot of candy popcorn. I would come back for the popcorn… after I lose the 5 pounds I gained after eating all that popcorn.

One word: POPCORN. They have an amazing variety of house-​made popcorn in wonderful, although sometimes strange, flavors (think dill pickle). The selection changes every few weeks (every two weeks, I think) and they are all wonderful. They have all of the wonderful chocolates and things that one would normally think of in a candy store, but the popcorn is the selling point to me.

I haven’t been able to try much here, but the chocolate rasberry truffles I had were delicious. Cute store! Friendly staff. I will be back.

I am going to start this view with YUM.
Just entering the store will make you want to buy everything they have available just from the smell.
Their main focus is on chocolate and they have all sorts of amazing chocolates available (sold by weight). In addition they have many chocolates made into shapes which is great for gifts or kids.
The other side of their store sells nice loose leaf teas.
I highly recommend this stores chocolate and i will have to see about the tea when i get around to brewing some.

Stopped in during a family weekend in Bedford. She had a lovely selection of chocolates and other treats. At the back of he shop s a great toy selection which was a lifesaver for me. She had a great selection if Melissa and Doug toys and activities. Perfect for keeping little people busy during lunch or dinner in restaurants.

Great chocolate! The chhocolate is smooth and flavorful. Try their spiders; they are pretzel pieces, caramel, with a peanut butter meltie center.

I have two large and very heavy boxes of homemade chocolates sitting right in front of me, while I am typing this review and I am testing these delicious pieces just for you, so that I can give you an accurate review. Ha! Who am I trying to kid, each piece is screaming at me to be bit…
Steve greeted me as I entered his candy shop and immediately offered me my choice of any free sample from his large cases of chocolates. My eyes drove straight to the milk and dark covered toffee and he was thrilled to share one of these with me as he explained that his eighty plus year old Mom still made the toffee on her stove top, he had better have this recipe, as they were outstanding.
Steve is a third generation owner of Bedford Candies which opened in 1929. He claims they are known worldwide and his bulletin board actually does support his claim with all of the wonderful news clippings and articles. He’s very proud of his families chocolates and rightfully so, which are still completely handmade. They do have a display of non chocolate candies and a section for discounted treats.
Dark, milk and white chocolate surround each and every nut cluster, pretzels, toffees, cherries, jellies, dates, apricots, pineapples and creams. Ah the creams, these are not the typical creams that you are envisioning with the blah and sickening sweet centers, these are the very best cream centers you will ever taste with pow and wow packed flavors of raspberry, coconut, pineapple, orange, banana, cherry, maple, peppermint and chocolate covered chocolate creams. I honestly do not like cream centered chocolates, but Bedford Candies has made a believer out of me!
Folks drive from far away to buy their chocolates or order them on line. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to try a few more chocolates just to make sure I know what I am talking about. Hello heaven, the toffees and the peanut butter and molasses crisps are to die for, and some of the best peanut butter cups that you will ever melt in your mouth!
