Watson's Candies - Walpole, MA — Local services in Walpole

We had a wonderful experience hosting my daughter’s 8th birthday party at Watson’s! Michelle made everything SO easy and had all little details already thought out and the kids all had a blast. The candy they made and found through their scavenger hunts were their goodie bags so nothing to plan there either!! There were 10 of them at the party so Michelle split the kids into 2 groups to do different activities, which was very manageable. With that number it def was on the longer end of the estimated time range (2 hrs vs prob 90 minutes is fine for a smaller group) but all of the kids had a great time! I’d say smaller groups would be perfect although they were able to accommodate up to 12. Def not the place for anyone with allergies, and with candy and ice cream sundaes after, not for anyone watching their sugar intake either 🤣! Overall would HIGHLY recommend Watson’s and the team there for a kid’s...

Watson's Candies brings us back to a sweeter time when local candy makers and bakers prided themselves in the art and science of creating sweets in small batches. Watson's customers are the true beneficiaries, whether it be enjoying some phenomenal homemade fudge, truffles, chocolate bark or holiday-themed concoctions -- especially around Easter, Christmas and Valentine's Day. While I have never met an item here that I didn't like, the real draw for me is that the staff is so welcoming and warm, and that the business still thrives after 80 years. So, it's not just the sweets that warm the heart and soul here. Rather, it is the overall experience of such a well-run business that has withstood the test of time. With that said, the craving for some Watson's maple walnut fudge is currently overwhelming any other thoughts...

The candy and chocolate is amazing here!! It's a small place but has been a neighborhood staple for 80 years. I just went for the first time and I can say I'm impressed. The staff is what makes this place extra special. Upon entering, I witnessed a customer that didn't get something they wanted, but the cashier was very friendly and helpful to them and worked with them to get what they wanted. I was also assisted in making a nice Valentine's gift basket by a worker who have me good tips on what to include in it. They took their time to make sure I got my requests fulfilled and even threw in a little extra for free! I would absolutely...
