1. DYLAN'S CANDY BAR
Between Third Avenue and 60th Street, we find a true cult of candy that has become the bane of all sweet tooth: Dylan's Candy Bar. This megastore created by Dylan Lauren, daughter of designer Ralph Lauren, has based her design on the history of _ Charlie and the Chocolate Factory _ . The result: three floors overflowing with candies and sweets and more than 5,000 types of sweets in the same building. Crazy! They say it's the biggest candy store in the world. (and we believe it). Don't miss their life-size tree made out of lollipops or their bubble gum tub (makes you want to jump). and attentive, It is the candy store preferred by celebrities.

Here the striking colors of the sweets stand out against the nuclear white of the furniture. A spacious and clean space where everything is hyper-ordered. Its star sweets are the traditional smågodis, although on its shelves we find up to 150 different sweets . They also sell delicious ice cream in Swedish flavors, such as cranberry lemon or marshmallow ice cream. Everything is bought by weight, so be careful, the bags fill up very quickly.

Four. ECONOMY CANDY
Another of New York's most reputable candy stores is **Economy Candy**. It's not a megastore like M&M's World or Dylan's Candy Bar.

Everything is full of goodies, from the floor to the ceiling. The great charm (and success) of Economy Candy is that here you can find jelly beans from all over the world.

5. PAPABUBBLE
The ** Papabubble ** store in New York is another temptation that will surely sweeten our day. Their artisan candies are wonderful. Its beginnings are to be found in Germany, when two Australians set out to create these gourmand jewels that are now considered true works of art. Its artisans pamper each of the sweets and personalize them to suit the client. The result is outstanding: small morsels of color that become an explosion of flavor in the mouth . They are sold in glass jars and there is so much to choose from, that we will probably end up leaving the store with more than one jar. Another detail: they offer the opportunity to see how the candies are made.
