Adventure #4

Halloween is over, not my favorite holiday but I have come to enjoy it more over the past few years due to the "Mr. Mr."(a little 5 year old sweet heart) in my life. It is so fun to see everything through his eyes. So we have 52 days until my favorite holiday and this weekend I was kicking it off in style.

When I was young and living in Canton, Ohio I would look forward to November because that meant Christmas open houses. My mom, grandma and I would wear our selves out on Saturday's going from store to store and gazing at all their Christmas decor. So that is exactly what we did today. It was a blast!

We definitely worked up an appetite looking at tree after tree of holiday inspiration. What better place to have lunch and of course a sweet treat than Heggy's in Canton, Ohio.

A little background:

Heggy's Candy Company was founded by Ben Heggy in 1923. The family owned and operated business has created a reputation of amazing hand crafted chocolates and candies over the past 9 decades. Heggy's remains one of the premiere candy companies in America.

Today we ate at their 1950's diner.

Immediately when you walk in you are welcomed by the amazing smell of their roasted nuts.

Then an endless selection of their hand crafted chocolates and candies. My personal favorite is their chocolate covered raisins. So So good! I sometimes keep eating them until I get a belly ache. OK I lied, the majority of the time :).

My mom decided she would get a selection of chocolates for her lunch. I know I have told you before she would eat candy for breakfast, lunch and dinner! OK I'm lying she did have soup and then right to the chocolate for her sweet treat.

My grandma and I went for their Ice cream. The turtle sundae and chocolate shake. Mmmmm, so delicious! That turtle sundae is to die for. I highly recommend it if you are ever in Canton and have a sweet tooth. They make their own hot fudge. Amazing!

 Here are a few more pictures of the inside.

It was a great lunch and sweet treat! It was also fun to hear my grandma's stories of coming to Heggy's as a kid after school with her friends. I have also been there many times as a kid and my parents are always surprising my brother and I with treats from Heggy's now that we live in Columbus. It has truly stood the test of time and is a wonderful land mark in Canton.

Stop by their website to look around and maybe order some sweet treats of your own.
