Snacks By The Pound

Wandering around in Bucks County, PA? Stopping in Newtown, PA? Have a candy craving? If so, stop off at Snacks by the Pound. It’s in cute, little downtown Newtown, tucked away near Pat’s Colonial Kitchen, a homey, breakfast brunch spot.
They carry some ol’school candies like Fruit Stripe gum, Whatchamacallits (I had no idea they still made those), along with assorted chock’s and candies by the pound. enough variety to make everyone happy.
i’m regularly in Newtown, but this was the first time i stumbled upon this little sweet spot. if you have a craving and happen to be nearby then this spot is for you.

Located in the White House Building on South State Street, in the same location as Duck Sauce, Snacks by the Pound is the latest tenant to occupy the other corner space. We wish them great success there! I mention its neighbor because that is the way I first noticed this shop set back from the street. I came out of Duck Sauce and walking on the covered front porch I noticed the new store and went in to have a look.
I didn’t know that homemade chocolate would taste so good after a good spicy Asian meal, but it did! In fact, I suggest that these owners talk to each other and start to cross market their goods. A little chocolate delivered with the lunch or dinner bill would be a great touch (and better than the Andes Mints). A discount coupon for a quality Chinese or Thai repast with the purchase of $ 10. worth of candy, would also be a hot commodity. Maybe they are already doing that, but I did not see it. Come talk to me.
S/​P is a veritable wonderland of sweets set in a well appointed comfortable setting. Made to look «country,» it succeeds in taking you away from the world outside and dropping you into a childhood daydream. Hard not to smile and salivate when looking at the enormity of the collection here, and reminiscing about those candies you craved as a kid.
Yes. It is a little decadent, but it is so innocent that no one will turn you in to the diet police.

If you love old-​time candy stores you must stop in! I have a terrific sweet tooth so I stop in semi-​regularly, even if I don’t buy more than a small marzipan treat. You can find Shriver’s taffy, a wide selection of «wow, I didn’t know they made that anymore,» loose candy, and chocolates. One of the owners hand-​makes some very tasty s’mores candies that are really yummy but you should share (they are big). They do have a nice selection of chocolates, too, some are hand-​dipped. I have been consistently impressed with how nice the service is in their, too. You feel like you can browse a little and get your sweet craving on. Stop on by, they are worth the trip!

After 16 years we have moved from feasterville Pa to Newtown Pa. Snacks By The Lb. is a Candy & Gift Basket store for all occasions.
