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.

Customer Reviews
I have been buying these for years for special occasions. Not easy to find them out in the West Coast Bay Area so, I was so happy to find them online here at Watson's. They are so delicious, and light surrounded by lots of chocolate that melts in your mouth. And best of all, the price is right for the value. They arrived very fast and super well packaged, packed in ice.
Grew up in Kenmore & Watson's has always been my favorite candy. I love sponge candy and their Charlie Chaplin. I often send a box of sponge candy as a gift, as I know it's sure to please. Whenever I'm back in Buffalo, Watson's is one of my first stops. This picture is showing us and our grandchildren enjoying sponge candy at Watson's in Orchard Park, a few years ago.
I grew up in Niagara Falls, NY.; one of nine children and my grandparents and parents always bought us sponge candy. Watson's is by far the best sponge candy having mild chocolate, dark chocolate and "in my opinion" orange chocolate available. Whenever we visit NY, we always stop at the Watson's store at the Pine Plaza. Myself and my daughters will order online for the sponge candy.
