At this time of year, Gary and Sandy Whitt of Ko-Ed Candies are making some of Buffalo’s favorite chocolates virtually around the clock. They've pretty much got it down to a science after 21 years. They're readying the store for Valentines Day, a day that will ring in as their 4th busiest day of the year. Their website (www.spongecandy.com) adds to the mix.
Ko-Ed offers little chocolate hearts and big ones, too. Red valentine-shaped boxes loaded with chocolate goodness come sized to suit- will you need a 4 oz. token or a 5 lb. offering? Maybe you’d prefer a pound of Charlie Chaplins, wrapped prettily in red, white and pink?
But what Ko-Ed does best is sponge candy. Buffalonians love the stuff. A sheath of thick, rich chocolate (milk or dark) encases a crisp, airy, molasses-flavored center. Describing this confection to the uninitiated is a task indeed. Perhaps it would be best to show them how much you love them (and sponge candy) by shipping them some today.
Stop in and pick up sweets for your sweet, or hop on their site and order them up! The shipping time and expense is minimal, and the sponge candy is top notch. It’s a great way to send your Valentine (or maybe just your mum) a Buffalo-style declaration of love.
