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
Awesome!
This was introduced to us by a UB student in a conversation we live in Binghamton area so we never heard of this type of Chocolate we were very pleased with this convection it’s a delicious chocolate.
Delicious, but I wish it had just slightly less chocolate on it so that I could truly appreciate the sponge candy inside, I feel like the abundance of chocolate takes away from the sponge, but still one of my favorite candies.
I have been purchasing Watson’s Chocolates for many years. Their sponge chocolate is the BEST. It just melts in your mouth. I have family who live out of town. They don’t leave for home without a stop to Watson’s. Not only is their sponge wonderful, all their chocolates and candies are delicious.
I bought 4 packages of sponge candy, one for each sister and one for myself, since we were all going to be together at Easter. All being from Buffalo, we have fond memories of sponge candy, and it did not disappoint!
