Miami: Bulk Candy Store Tour with Tastings & Discount

Summary

Guided Miami candy store tour with tastings, stories and shopping

You’ll wander through six rooms packed with candy history, sample sweets you probably haven’t tasted since childhood, and watch how treats are made up close. With a local guide leading stories and laughs along the way—and a store discount at the end—this Miami tour is pure fun for anyone who loves sugar or nostalgia.

What’s the experience like?

“You ever smell so much sugar you feel it in your teeth?” That’s what I blurted out when we first walked into the Bulk Candy Store in Miami. Our guide (I think her name was Maria — she knew every weird fact about marshmallows) handed us these little paper hats and started off with a story about ancient sweets. I didn’t expect to care about how people made candy before electricity, but she made it funny somehow. The room was bright and kind of chaotic — jars everywhere, the air heavy with that sweet popcorn smell that sticks to your clothes.

I kept getting distracted by all the colors — there’s this one room where even the walls are covered in candy decorations, like Willy Wonka but more Florida. Maria let us try a few samples right away (I swear those sour belts are way more intense than I remember as a kid). She showed us how some of the favorites get packaged, which sounds boring but actually seeing the machines clack along was weirdly satisfying. There were a couple kids on our tour who kept asking if they could eat everything in sight — honestly, same.

The whole thing lasted about 45 minutes but it felt quick because we were laughing half the time. It ends back in the main store where you can buy whatever you want (with a discount from the tour), and there’s this wall of popcorn flavors that made me pause way too long — dill pickle popcorn? Still thinking about that one. Oh, and it’s all wheelchair accessible; saw someone roll right through with no problem. If you’re curious or just want an excuse to eat candy for breakfast, this is it.
