Merb's Candies

My poor Easter basket fell apart years ago, but that does not mean I will not get my candy. I do not mean candy from the grocery store, but from another hidden gem of a candy store in Saint Louis. Yes, it was time for our Easter bunny visit to @merbscandiesstl.

Merb’s has been around since 1921 and is a staple in the Dutchtown neighborhood where Big Guy and I lived when we first got married. The third generation of family members own and operate this specialty store and take pride in creating delicious handmade candies.

The variety of chocolate bunnies, marshmallow eggs, jellybeans, and the usual bags of treats you come to expect for Easter were awe inspiring as we took in our surroundings. I know my sugar count will skyrocket, so do not request a blood sugar test, but it is one time of year I get giddy eating my sweet treats with no regrets!
