Candy evokes childhood memories of our favorite treats. The holidays may find us having "visions of sugarplums" but in Chester County's Brandywine Valley there is so much more. Fine chocolates, fudge, and old-fashioned candies of all shapes and sizes can be found along our charming towns and villages.
Mrs. Robinson’s Sweets & Treats
Mrs. Robinson’s Sweets & Treats is adjacent to the eponymous Tea Shop in Kennett Square, PA. Guests can enter Sweets & Treats from the street or from the Tea Shop. The colorful confections are displayed in clear containers to tempt customers to scoop up favorites or try something new. Nostalgic items like bumble gum cigars, traditional favorites - think Hershey Bars - and hard to find imported treats can be found in this whimsical shop. An added bonus, the candy store is connected to an equally lovely gift and tea emporium. Gifts, sweets, treats, and tea!
