Andy’s Candies

Best Candy ever! Love this place, we got this Candy every year for Easter as kids, and now I get it for my kids every Easter!

Best chocolate ever. I love their chocolate covered bacon and blackberry cordials. Everything we come to Pittsburgh we stop here. Love this place.

This little family ran chocolate store is the best in Pittsburgh! Theirs others who charge 5 times as much for chocolate and don’t taste nearly as good as Andies!

Delicious! best homemade candy — I hope they still have the nougat bars I used to buy when I worked at Hickory Family Practice in Burgettstown and detoured to Steubenville Pike to get them and all the other great items available!

I learned about Andy’s 30 some years ago, from my husband’s family. We now live in Washington State, but it isn’t Christmas or Easter without some of Andy’s delicious chocolates! Nowadays, I have to order for my adult son, my sister, my niece, etc. All my family out here love it as well!
My family’s very favorite is the chocolate pretzels. If you have bought chocolate pretzels anywhere else, you are really missing a most delicious treat — - you’ll never go back to any other pretzel once you’ve had Andy’s! I also can’t get enough of their chocolate potato chips — — there’s more chocolate than potato chip on these delectable goodies! Also for Christmas we love getting their non-​pariels and their mint-​meltaways! Can’t go wrong on anything they sell. Their chocolate is just the best! Purchasing chocolates anywhere else is a real disappointment for me, as Andy’s has set the bar high on flavor and quality!

Right outside of Pittsburgh off of Old Steubinville Pike sits one of the best chocolatiers in the area. Now don’t get me wrong, Pittsburgh has some great chocolate makers. Sarris’s of Canonsburg and West View’s Betsy Ann’s both come to mind, but Andy’s Candies doesn’t take a back seat to either.
I’ve known about Andy’s since I was a kid, my father would take us during one of his famous Sunday drives where we would end up on some country road. First stop was Scio’s China, long gone, it was known for their fine china and ability to replace broken pieces, or finding hard to find pieces to complete a set. It was my maternal grandmother’s favorite way to spend a Sunday afternoon… Yawn! Andy’s Candies was the third stop after stopping to see cows at a local dairy farm.
Finally we’d stop at Andy’s and my mom would pick up a pound of raisin clusters, my dad loved their peanut brittle and my Grandmother loved the anniclairs (peanuts, gooey marshmellow and pecans) and I would get the chocolate covered cherries.
Today, I’m totally hooked on their sugar free strawberry gummies, and I always get my mom a dozen chocolate covered Ritz Crackers with peanut butter, and a chocolate covered Pizelle. If I went to Andy’s and didn’t tell her or bring her something I’d be disowned.
They have the most innovated chocolate including chocolate covered apricots. Chocolate covered ginger, truffles, sugar free chocolates and the best sea salt caramels on the planet. They also serve ice cream and sell the candy bars no one carries anymore like Turkish Taffy, Milkshake bars, Zagnut, and Black Jack gum. If you find yourself out near ²²⁄₃₀ off the Parkway West, head on over to Andy’s Candies and take home a box of bad for you indulgence.
