I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
There’s no better way to take a trip down Memory Lane than a visit to a candy store filled with sweets you enjoyed from your childhood. You’re bound to relive some of the happy moments of simpler times as you peruse a selection of old-fashioned and nostalgic candies. If you grew up in Rhode Island, especially in the northern part of the state, you may be familiar with Pearls Candy & Nuts. A visit here is enough to make any one of us feel like a kid again.
Pearls Candy & Nuts sits by the junction of Route 146A and Park Avenue, and the building is quite eye-catching. If you've ever driven by, you can't help but notice its whimsical exterior of painted candies and the red and white striped roof.
You can find just about any old-fashioned and nostalgic candy you can think of. From Atomic Fireballs to Satellite Wafers, Liquid Filled Wax Bottles, Candy Buttons, and so much more, you'll feel as though you've stepped back in time when you see the selection.
If you're a fan of Jelly Belly jelly beans, you'll find a wide assortment of some classics as well as novelty flavors. Maybe you'll want to put together a bag of flavors like toasted marshmallow, tabasco, Dr. Pepper, green apple, and buttered popcorn.
It's not all candy here though. Plenty of chocolate treats fill the shelves, and there's a whole chocolate case as well. Grab a variety of chocolate peanut butter cups, cashew caramel patties, and almond bark from the case, and a bag of nonpareils, chocolate-covered gummy bears or chocolate-covered pretzels to take home.
For holidays, Pearls makes beautiful gift baskets filled with seasonal candies and chocolates. It's the perfect gift to bring to a family get together. Themed gift baskets are also available.
There's no doubt that Pearls Candy & Nuts is a special place filled with nostalgia and incredible candies and chocolates. Oh what fun you'll have perusing the candy walls, shelves, and cases in search of treats from your childhood.
