Veni's Sweet Shop: Nappanee, Indiana

Nappanee, Indiana is thrilled about the new kid in town, Veni’s Sweet Shop!

Yes, Veni’s Sweet Shop is as good as it sounds.

Veni’s Chocolate Shop in Nappanee, Indiana

Nice and bright, this shop is so welcoming. Rows and rows of chocolates in all shapes, sizes, and flavors beg to be bought and eaten behind the shining glass.

I would be lying if I said I came out of Veni’s Sweet Shop empty-handed!

But it’s research, right? I mean, I don’t really even have a choice in the matter. I owe it to all of you to tell it like it is.

Indiana Sweet Shop

Veni's Sweet Shop: Nappanee, Indiana

After an agonizingly difficult decision, I ended up with Orange Creme, Vanilla Creme, and Mint Creme. My favorite flavors right here in little Indiana! Awesome.

Smooth and delicious–there’s no additives, wax, or preservatives in these chocolatey bites of Heaven. You can definitely taste the difference. Fresh and fantastic.

At this Indiana candy store, the Orange Creme was my favorite!

Personally, I would love to do more research on Veni’s Sweet Shop. Seriously. Name the day!

More Than a Chocolate Shop

Veni's Sweet Shop: Nappanee, Indiana

This Elkhart County shop isn’t only for those who need a Chocolate fix (though it certainly does the trick!).

There’s a selection of nuts, candy, and even drinks–like an ice cream float or Hot Chocolate.

But more than that? I see Veni’s Sweet Shop as one more reason to bypass the big box shops and to support local business. Oh, how sweet it is!

Go There

A sweet shop is just what Nappanee needed! I can’t think of a better fit for this bustling Indiana town.

Wakarusa, Indiana: Wakarusa Dime Store for The Kid in You

Jessica Nunemaker — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 14:30:00 +0000

Wakarusa, Indiana holds quite a fun surprise: The Wakarusa Dimestore. In businesses since 1907, I dare you to try not to run up and down the candy-filled aisles grabbing every shiny, colorful, candy-containing package in sight!

Wakarusa Dime Store

You’ll find row after row of old favorites in this small Indiana town. We saw Apple Heads and Candy Necklaces, Candy Buttons and Big League Chew Bubble Gum.

Wakarusa, Indiana: Jumbo Jelly Beans at Wakarusa Dimestore

There’s the whole gummy gambit from cheeseburgers to rats (gross), as well as some things I hadn’t seen before.

It will make anyone with a sweet tooth revert back to an 8 year old with free reign and a couple of bucks in his pocket.

Jumbo Jelly Beans

Wakarusa Dimestore boasts quite the claim to fame: The Jumbo Jelly Bean.

While I am normally not that big a fan of jelly beans, turning them into these Goliaths has made me a believer–and an addict! There’s a lot of fun flavors at the Wakarusa Dimestore!

Can you say “variety?” Sure, there’s the old favorites like Cherry and Lemon and Orange, but then there’s all sorts of fun ones like Chocolate Covered Cherry, Root Beer, and (the really pretty) Jellystones.

Fit for The President

Random fact: Jumbo Jelly Beans were once enjoyed by Ronald Reagan as a way to kick his smoking habit. He really made jelly beans gain popularity for any time of year!

If you are in the area you have got to check out the Wakarusa Dimestore. It’s so much fun to wander around and just look! But even more fun? To wander around and try to many samples of Jumbo Jelly Beans.

Try NOT To Lick the Screen, M’kay? Chocolate Shop in DeMotte, Indiana

Demotte, Indiana: Chocolate Shop

Demotte, Indiana is growing like crazy! Everywhere you look there seems to be construction going on or the grand opening of one business or another.

The Chocolate Shop in DeMotte, Indiana

There were plenty of food options for such a small town: Greek, American, Chinese, Mexican. But what had little Indiana really excited was The Chocolate Shop!

It felt like stepping into a scene from Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory with the fun decorations hanging from the ceiling.

Vibrant colors and tons of candy choices everywhere made the place feel festive.It’s really fun in there!

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for…

But the best part of this Indiana town ice cream parlor and candy store? They actually have Blue Moon Ice Cream (my absolute favorite). Hooray!

Hubs had an Iced Mocha (boooring!) and the kid had Cake and Ice Cream flavored ice cream of which he gave me a little taste.

It was pretty good stuff. Not my Blue Moon Ice Cream, but good, nonetheless.

Candy, Candy, Candy

Demotte, Indiana: The Chocolate Shop

This would be a great place to pick up something snacky for the ride home, that’s for sure (it’s not called a Candy Store for nothing!).

From chocolate to all that packaged stuff you loved as a kid (okay, and maybe even now)…well, it looked like they had it!

Tip: The Gummy Bears are great, and from the looks of it, quite popular!

Oh, and those on a restricted diet can indulge because they even have a super selection of Sugar Free candy, too!
