Sweet Shops in Fairfield County for Valentine's Day and Beyond
Submitted by Jacqueline Miller on
Valentines Schmalentines. My kids don't need any excuse to visit a candy shop any time of year, but with Valentine's Day coming up this weekend, they are only too thrilled to "research" the surprisingly large collection of candy boutiques scattered across Fairfield County. Many of the sweet shops here include bulk "classic" candy options such as Pop Rocks and Pixie Sticks, which can be especially handy for classroom Valentine celebrations and are great peanut-free alternatives not commonly found in the drugstore candy aisle. A few of the shops offer quite pricey merchandise that is fun to sample for a special parent-child outing but that will not strike quite the right note in the classroom Valentine exchange.
Enjoy this sampling of some of the sweetest places around!
