Mrs. Leonard’s Candy

The reason Heraldo think the candy looks old is because it is! Their candy tastes stale. I’ve given them so many chances, but my husband begged me to stop. The truffles were all dried out. Their chocolate covered strawberries are rancid. Don’t do it!

Mrs. Leonard’s Candy Shoppe is a cool, old fashioned little sweet shop located across the Dracut school complex right next to Family Pizza.
They offer a variety of old fashioned candies like Big League Chew, Banana Splits, Pop Rocks, Cadbury Eggs, Lollipops, and Gummy Candies, as well as gourmet chocolate, ice cream, candy apples, corn cakes, fudge, and even chocolate covered pickles!
The selection of treats are pretty good, and it’s only about $ 2.00 for a bag of candy, so you can’t go wrong there, but the problem I have with the bagged candy is that it looks old. The candy here looks like its been sitting on the shelves for a while, and some of the wrappers on the candy are sticky.
The gourmet chocolates are behind glass, and they taste really good. I’m sure they’re made in store, so I guess they’re fresh. The chocolates are really creamy, and they have a great texture.
The store’s staff is really nice, honest, and helpful. They explain candy you might not be familiar with, and they recommend which candy is good. They’re also honest too, because one time, they charged me an extra dollar for something, realized their mistake, and gave me back my dollar.
Overall, Mrs. Leonard’s Candy Shoppe is a nice little candy shop that offers some nostalgic treats (though some don’t look fresh) with a friendly staff.

Chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate! They have itemss like chocolate covered twinkles, oreos, pop tarts, nuts, coffee beans, and even pickles!
In addition to chocolate, they have fudge, candies, and ice cream (in the summer).
The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5, is due to the face that for the first 5 – 10 minutes we spent looking around, the person working there spent the time on the phone, on a personal call. I was going to give 3 stars, but we were looking for a specific fudge and though they didn’t have it displayed, she found some behind the counter!
I would visit again, and likely will.
