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
Despite Two day shipping, the sponge candy arrived melted
I’m so sorry to hear that your chocolates arrived melted. We know how disappointing that must be, and we always want your experience with us to be a good one. Because warm-weather shipping can be tricky, we only guarantee safe arrival with overnight service. Please check your in box for an email from Watson's regarding this issue.
Intended to purchase 2 lb box of milk chocolate sponge candy to be shipped to North Carolina. Stopped at Rochester location, staff could not have been nicer. I was informed no shipping from this location and I could use website or call Buffalo plant. This surprised me. I did call your plant, and the receptionist was not very happy to take my order. The product is wonderful, but the service was not great.
I’m so sorry if I came across as anything less than happy to take your order—that was never my intention. I always want every customer to feel welcome and have a wonderful experience with us. Please accept my sincere apologies if you felt otherwise. I truly value your business and hope you’ll give us the chance to serve you again soon.
I purchased the 2 pound box of sponge candy for my sister in Denver, CO. She was a Buffalo native and well used to Watson's sponge candy. When she received the delivery, she was amazed, delighted and everything else that goes along with receiving a 2 pound box of Watson's sponge candy.
Delicious!! Brought back so many memories of growing up outside of Buffalo, and loving your famous Sponge candy😊
My annual purchase for extraordinary milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and orange sponge candy... ALWAYS AMAZING !!
