Candy stores are more than just sweet stops—they’re nostalgia dispensers, impulse-buy magnets and often the perfect pick-me-up after a long day. In fact, Americans spend an average of $20 per person on candy each year, and specialty shops in Utah Valley capture a slice of that indulgence with handcrafted confections, bespoke gift boxes and flavor-forward innovations. Whether you’re hunting chocolate truffles or retro gummies, these stores turn every visit into a treat hunt.
See’s Candies Chocolate & Candy Gifts
A century-old West Coast favorite, See’s Candies brings its classic assortment to Orem’s University Parkway. Behind the glass case, you’ll find signature Scotchmallows™, chocolate-covered nuts and cream-filled squares—all made in California to a consistent, time-tested recipe. Seasonal gift boxes and customizable treat bags make it easy to curate a personalized selection. Friendly staff offer free samples, guiding you through dark-, milk- and white-chocolate options as you decide between peanut brittle, Bordeauxs or melt-in-your-mouth divinity.
Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory
With multiple Utah Valley locations, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory serves up freshly dipped fudge, kettle-cooked caramel corn and hand-rolled truffles daily. Patrons can watch chocolatiers drizzle decadent sauces over salted caramels or swirl swirling patterns onto earthen-tone turtles. The “Build-Your-Own” fudge station invites customers to pick base flavors—vanilla, peanut butter, chocolate—and mix-ins like pretzels or toffee bits. Holiday-themed tins and signature gift towers ensure you’re never without the perfect present for candy lovers of all ages.
More than campus memorabilia, the BYU Store’s candy section features Cougar-branded favorites alongside regional specialties. Pick up BYU-logo chocolate bars in dark, milk or white varieties, or sample locally made honey caramels and fruit-flavored hard candies. Seasonal launch events—think peppermint bark in winter and cherry-lemon drops in spring—keep the selection fresh. Whether you’re stocking up before a game day or grabbing a sweet souvenir, the store balances collegiate pride with confectionery charm.
