I live outside of Baltimore, MD, and they make a rather weak attempt at something similar to sponge candy. Nothing even comes close to Watson's! The sponge is consistently melt-in-your mouth, and the chocolate is super creamy.

We now live in North Carolina and sponge candy is not made here. What is shipped in from northern vendors is ok when you can find it. But Watson’s is just so far superior. Besides the chocolate being the best quality, the sponge is tight and crisp, but not hard. It is the best we have found anywhere!

The best sponge candy ever

We have always loved Watson! Especially the sponge candy!! We haven’t lived in Kenmore for about 38 years but we visit a couple of times a year and always get our sponge candy. And order online a couple of times a year also. Love it!!!

I was born & raised in Buffalo NY, but we have moved around the country over the years and we are currently in southern California where sponge candy and orange chocolate is not a thing. So I recently ordered from multiple chocolatiers in Buffalo NY so we could do a fun & delicious family taste test of milk chocolate sponge candy and orange flavored chocolates from Buffalo NY!
Watson's was the clear winner!! We highly recommend their wonderfully delicious milk chocolate sponge candy and the box of their orange flavored Buffalo bites!
