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
Very tasty and fresh. Chocolate is high quality and my 84 year old mom loves them.
The sponge candy arrived in one melted block
We're so sorry that your chocolate arrived melted — we know how disappointing that is.
Just a quick reminder: as posted on our homepage and included in your order confirmation, we only guarantee safe delivery when orders are shipped overnight, in a cooler, and with a delivery signature. This policy helps protect your chocolate during the warmer months.
We hope you'll give us another try — and we're happy to help ensure your next order arrives just right. Please contact us direclty if you'd like to diuscuss your options.
Either the method of shipping chosen by Watson’s or the shipping company’s delay in delivery allowed for extreme temperatures to melt the candy and totally change the consistency of the sponge center. I would not recommend ordering the candy online.
We're very sorry to hear your chocolate arrived melted — we know how frustrating that can be.
Unfortunately, shipping from Buffalo, NY to Arizona is a long journey, and with the extreme summer heat, the only way we can guarantee safe delivery is by overnight shipping, in a cooler, and with a delivery signature. This is clearly noted on all our web pages and in your order confirmation.
While we always try our best to protect your order, we’re unable to automatically upgrade shipping without the customer choosing and approving the added cost.
We do hope you’ll try again, and if you need help placing a future order with the recommended shipping options, we’re happy to assist.
Excellent!
Sponge candy arrived stall & broken
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize that your sponge candy arrived in a less than ideal condition. Its difficult to ship sponge candy as it is extremely fragile and can break and unfortunately, accidents can happen. Please don't hesitate to call us if this happens again and we will do our best to make it right.
