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
Watsons sponge candy is my absolute favorite after growing up and living in WNY for 43 years.
I ordered candy online as a gift and it was being delivered to Kentucky. I received a phone call from Watson’s ( the owner) because he was concerned with the temperature being so high and the chance of melting during shipping even with a cold pack. He suggested waiting until Monday to avoid having the candy sit over the weekend in transit and possibly lessen the time it takes for delivery. He also said he would arrange to have an extra cold pack added as well. I realize there is no guarantee that the candy might melt when being sent during summer months however he certainly went out of his way and tried to make sure my order would arrive in good condition. It did!
Thank you for the special touches you put on this package for my cousin.
My sister absolutely loves these. I send her 2 lbs on her birthday every year. They are delicious!!
Fantastic as always! Shipped to Florida and was as good and fresh as when I used to walk into the Delaware Ave store
