Cora Lee Candies is a block away from our house. We’ve been here almost a year and we’ve never gone inside.
A few weeks ago, Liz and I walked over to check it out but they’re closed on Sundays. Darn. This week, we remembered before they closed and before it was Sunday again.
Liz is really happy with their selection of novelty candy. She bought stuff like super sour gum and pop rocks. (I bought some lemon zotz for myself and some wax fangs for RJ.)
I was really thrilled to see hard candy by the pound. We’ve had so much trouble finding plain old sour balls (to take to JR at the nursing home) they have them at Cora Lee’s… along with sugar-free butterscotch candy for TW’s mom.
Liz bought a marzipan elephant gumball and I impulse purchased some Violets (both the candy and the gum) along with a tiny chocolate heart with a pink flower on top (again for JR.)
I can’t believe we spent $15 and didn’t buy any of their English Toffee or Grumpies (aka Turtles.) Next time, I’m buying those plus a chocolate mold of some sort.
