Watson's Chocolates
Buffalo's Best Sponge Candy
Considered Buffalo’s Best, our award-winning candy is crispy, tender chunks of caramelized spun sugar drenched in our wonderfully creamy chocolate. Available in milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and orange-flavored sponge.
Made by hand in small batches, each sponge is carefully cooked in our traditional copper kettles by our highly trained candy makers. We then carefully hand-pack and vacuum seal each gift box for freshness during shipping. Sponge Candy is gluten-free and available in a variety of sizes.
As always, our Sponge Candy is delicious anytime, but we suggest enjoying it within a week or two of purchase as heat and humidity are not its friend.

Buffalo's Best Sponge Candy
Yes, it’s the best sponge candy I have tried. All three flavors are exceptional!
We live in Tucson and ordered sponge candy to be shipped before it gets too hot. It was packed and shipped on great condition and tasted great! Very fresh!
Sponge too soft.
Since all but the sponge candy, 2 cream eggs & 1 container of fruit jelly beans are gifts for Easter that is all we tried. The sponge candy goes w/o saying was excellent as it always is over 75 + of my close to 83 yrs. which I will be in Oct. I found the cream eggs to be too sweet, much sweeter than from my recollection. The jelly beans all tasted the same, no difference in flavor between the colors & very sugary. I feel bad with saying that about those two items but wanted to share my exact opinion. With that being said Watsons is , has & always will be my place to come to for sponge candy & all of the other chocolate varieties.
I was gifted a one pound box of milk chocolate sponge candy (called honeycomb back in the day) and it is, hands down the best I’ve ever had! By default around the 2024 holiday season I was only able to order the “orange” chocolate sponge candy b/c the milk chocolate and the dark chocolate were sold out. It’s now my favorite flavor…… who knew?!
