Fuzziwig’s Candy Factory

Want to see a candy store that’s like a Sweet Factory but also carries a dose of nostalgia? Then Fuzziwigs is your place!
First of all, you just have to stop inside a store that has the name «Fuzziwig’s»! You can’t help but smile as you say it!
Inside you’ll find a selection akin to Sweet Factory — but the draw here is the classic candies and gums you probably haven’t seen since you were a kid of the ‘80s (assuming you were a kid of the ‘80s). I was surprised to see Fruit Stripe gum, Whatchamacallit bars, candy cigarettes, and even some Bazooka bubble gum! There’s even fun facts printed along some of the candy receptacles showing the history of the products inside.
So, why didn’t I purchase anything here? That’s easy — the prices. I don’t know if it’s because of the rarity of the treats, but a pack of Fruit Stripe gum for $ 1.99? Overpriced much? Plus, the store is a tad on the small side and some items needed to be restocked.
Still, if we’re in the area (and have more cash), off to Fuzziwig’s we go!

Sooo Awesome to see all those great crappy candies from when you were a child!

When you hear the name of the shop, it should be automatic looooove! What’s not to love about a place called Fuzziwig’s? Anytime I get suckered into going to the Gardenwalk (aka the Dead Zone) I NEED to stop here. Candy that can’t be found anywhere else — candy from your parent’s era — can be found here.
Looking for an outlandishly flavored gummy candy or jelly bean? They likely have it. The staff is always friendly, and ready to answer any questions you might have. They also validate parking with a purchase, I believe.
Right now, I’m into banana flavored anything, just about, and so when I found banana flavored saltwater taffy, you know I took some home to gobble lol
Overall, it’s just a great little shop, and I’ll bet you’ll feel all nostalgic when you see your favorite childhood candy here :)

They have my favorite juicy gummies! I can’t find these anywhere else! YAY!
Sad part is… this place is pretty expensive :*(
At GardenWalk, across from the movie theater on the 2^nd floor.

This was a nicely arranged and organized candy store, located on the upper level of the Garden Walk. My husband likes this one better than the other one visited on the same day (hey, we were getting snacks for Disneyland, and we were on vacation); he thought it was cheaper (maybe we bought less, though). Well, we got chocolates, boston baked beans (childhood candy!) and gummy coke bottles (my favorite gummies, but I don’t drink coke). I also spotted Ice Cubes (another childhood candy) but we didn’t get them becacuse the last time, it was big melty mess. As far as candy stores goes, has novelty candy but very few of the stuffed animals here (did have cute little lunch pails). There was one little sign for the cost, but I can’t recall what it was, but I can tell you that we spent less than $ 5 here.

PROS: They have nostalgic candy here that I can’t find anywhere. Plus it’s located down the street from Disneyland and in a nice little plaza full of restaurants and shops.
CONS: Okay, so I spent $ 60 here thinking I could bring my nephews to pick out a «few things.» Terribly wrong! I wish that the store was a bit bigger. I was expecting something better than Sweet Factory, but it’s pretty much the same.

OK, just your typical candy store that markets itself as having everything. Lots of retro candy, but the place is pretty small (I mean really small). I’m assuming that the Garden Walk gets crowded on the weekends, and if there are more than five people in the place it would be overly crowded. The prices are pretty typical for this kind of shop, and they really don’t have the kind of variety to make me want to drop some $$ there. If you are going to the movies, plan ahead and stop at the grocery store for goodies that are less expensive. If you are stopping by after dinner, check out the candy store at the bottom of the escalator (better candy for the $$), you know, the one w/​the bear outside.

I was so happy that we stumbled upon this candy confection. I was running around every candy store and market in search for the licorice bridge mix. I was in need of getting 50 black licorice buttons and 100 black licorice pastels for my cake pops. I was able find to them at the huntington beach pier but it was going to be a very pricey ticket to get 30 pre-​mixed bags for $ 5.99 a pop. Instead, the girl working at fuzziwig offered to pick out the ones i needed. The cost only came out to only a few bucks! I’m so happy i have discoverd this candy store for all my baking needs!

Loves this place! Wide variety of candy — all my favorites in one spot.

Don’t get me wrong I love candy but i would rather get it elsewhere. This place is empty, there’s no on there. I came into the store for the first time, like cool there’s candy. But when I came in I heard a girl training a new girl. First of all they don’t acknowledge me, okay fine i could care less but when i hear her training the new girl, it was like what kind of customer service do they teach here. She was telling the new girl — u just know what type of customers they are, if their teenagers dont even acknowledge them cuz there not going to buy anything, and if they come in a huge group dont even pay attention to them, their not going to buy. wow i wonder why people dont buy from here… hmm poor customer service. never will go here again not worth the money and poor service.

i always love coming here… their selection of jelly belly is decent and they have coupons for a free treat tho it’s 4 choices… like a lollipop etc
got the ice cream here… mint chocolate chip… their scoops are pretty sizable and the ice cream i thought tasted ok…
service is good

Even after dinner and dessert at the Cheesecake Factory, the kids were pretty excited to learn there was a candy store in the Anaheim GardenWalk. They skipped the elevator and ran two flights of stairs to find this place.
Lots of the usual suspects at this candy store: Jelly Bellies, PEZ of all kinds, gels, jawbreakers, gums, gummies, and all sort of candy novelties, but nothing I haven’t seen before. Relatively small-​square footaged store compared to the other super candy stores my girls and I have been in.
After we got the kids their candy choices of varying fluorescent colors, I asked my daughter how this place rates with other candy shops. She asked me «are you going to put this on Unilocal?» I told her yes.
She said it was OK, had what her friend, sister, and what she wanted, but nothing she hasn’t seen before.
There you have it, an expert review.

Walk inside the candy factory and you’ll see bright lights and factory props throughout the store. Super friendly staff. Very clean. Always in stock. Great house music! haha. Everyone loves this place whenever they come inside.
kids love it because they have cool candies like light-​up gummy worms, cool PEZ dispensers of Disney characters, even GIANT PEZ dispensers (i bought the hello kitty one), giant jawbreakers (about 2 lbs.), pucker powder, etc.
teenagers love it because of the pop rocks, ring pops, push pops, nerd rope (red licorice rope covered in nerds), Warheads, Warhead Sour Drops, Warhead Sour Sprays, etc.
adults love it because they have old fashioned candies when they were young. the candies that regular stores never sell anymore. chick-​o-​stix: peanut butter and coconut crunch stick.
wonka bar: chocolate bar with graham crackers in it.
cigarette gum: it has the sugar powder to make fake smoke.
big league chew: chewing gum for young baseball players.
i love hearing people say «OOHHH!!! remember these? i used to love them!» — «oh wow i used to eat these all the time. i can’t believe they still make them.» — «i loved these when i was a kid. i gotta get them for my kids to try.»
MY FAVORITES:
whatchamacallit bar: remember those? peanut-​flavored crisp with a layer of caramel and a layer of milk chocolate coating.
wonka tinglerz: imagine pop rocks but covered in chocolate. it might sound gross but it’s ooh soo yummy and fun! they pop so loud in your mouth.
zero bar: a candy bar that has caramel, peanut and almond nougat covered with a layer of white fudge. oh my god it is soooo good! it’s like a snickers bar but the color white and yummier. i’m so in love with this candy bar.
chocolate covered gummi bears: oh lordy lord. this is one of their popular items. they are sooooo addictive! beware! if you get these be sure to either get alot because you’ll want more, or don’t get too much because you’ll hate it that you have more to eat! ahhhhhh!!!
mini peanut butter cups: mini size reese’s cups. ohhh sooo heavenly. you feel less guilty eating one mini at a time.
don’t forget JELLY BELLIES!!!
need i say more? you just HAVE to visit this place.
also may i comment– yes it’s a candy store. so of course it’s a place full of sugar… but if you watch your kids closely and let them pick one thing out of the store, it’s not a bad thing. don’t you remember being a kid and buying candy? wasn’t it such a wonderful feeling? it’s a place to go in and to have fun, to walk around and enjoy the scenery of the store, even if you’re not a candy person. there’s nothing wrong with that.
it’s not listed on Unilocal because it’s a new place. the weekends is their busist days when everyone has time off to enjoy dinner and movie. so before a movie they come to the store for candy, instead of paying $ 5 for a box at the theatre you pay $ 1.99-$ 2.99 of the exact same box. After the economy gets a little better and all the stores open up this place will be even more beautiful. Alot of people did not know about this place but when they found out about it they all loved it and wanted to come back again.
so please come out to
the Anaheim Gardenwalk and visit
Fuzzywig’s Candy Factory.
2^nd Floor.
by the movies.

I have never seen even one other customer in this place. I have to assume that unless they have lots of money in reserves — that this economic slump will kill this business.
Think big bins of bulk candy. The kind of place you want to keep your 2 – 7 year old far far from. The add capitol of Anaheim.
This place needs a sign that says if you don’t watch your kids we will give them a shot of espresso and a puppy.
Think cheap nasty candy full of sugar. I am not much of candy guy so probably not the best person to review this place. But hey, it wasn’t even listed on Unilocal before.
