The Candy Factory - Historic Lexington




A
day without chocolate is like a day without sunshine....... least that's my opinion! If you have a need to satisfy your urge for chocolate, or, for that matter, anything sweet, The Candy Factory in historic Lexington is the place to go.

This morning, after a meeting with a bride and groom about wedding day details, I decided to swing by for a visit with Lindsey and Layla. Now Layla is about as crazy over chocolate as I am so it didn't take much to coax her into leaving the big cozy, comfy bed for a visit to the Candy Factory.

The Candy Factory has been in operation since 1978 when they began selling homemade chocolates and now ship all across the US. When you walk in it is like stepping back in time with old wooden floors that creak and the smell of fresh popped corn and homemade chocolates. It is truly like yesteryear with lots of little antique treasures and glass jars full of candy. To watch as children enter the store with eyes as wide as moon pies is such a site to see!

They also have stuffed animals which Layla just adores! She loves holding them and always gives each one a kiss when it is time to go. I just couldn't resist getting Layla one so I let her have her pick. She choose the smallest stuffed animal in the store, a little pink poodle. Upon our return from the Candy Factory Layla snuggled back in the big cozy bed with her new pink "poogle".

A visit to the Candy Factory in historic Lexington is well worth the trip. Make sure you try some of their homemade chocolates, they have a large selection and are the best! Jeanne Leonard and her staff will make sure your visit is a pleasant one. Go ahead, indulge!
