There’s something the sweetness of a sugary candy hitting your tongue that sparks joy and puts a smile on your face. The colours, texture, nostalgia and the burst of sweetness can make your day. While kids might be the loudest fans, a perfectly chosen sweet candy treat can be just as much a delight for mamas too. From sour gummies that take you back to childhood to silky caramels that feel like a well-earned pause, candy can be its own form of self-care.

Here’s where to find the best spots in and around Vancouver to celebrate the simple joy of something sweet. And don’t worry, we won’t tell if you save your treats until after the kids are in bed, sharing is not required.
