Not wanting to be outdone by Crystal's candy factory or Brittany's chocolate tasting, Nolan took me to Minnesota's Largest Candy Store the day after I returned from Utah.
The store (which lacks a website, social media presence, or even a phone number) began as an apple orchard which fell upon hard times one year when a hail storm damaged a significant portion of their product. They used the battered apples to make lemonade and have been selling candy ever since. At the beginning of the store we tasted a Haralson apple, which Nolan said were his Grandpa King's favorite.
They also stock a number of different popcorn kernels. We ended up buying the blue kernels which may take a little more time to pop but are also supposed to be a bit sweeter than other types.
There were so many different kinds kinds of candy it was hard to process them all. They had candy from all over the world! Along with our popcorn we bought two kinds of taffy off the many tables. It was hard to choose!
We might have to make it a tradition to come to this fun oddity. Next time we come we could try some of the many sodas, or pies, or salsas, or chocolates, it's so hard to choose!
