Candy is one of life’s simplest pleasures that we just never seem to get tired of. There’s a chocolate factory/store in Greenwood that offers up some of Nebraska’s most iconic candies along with a whole lot more.

Bakers Candies have been a staple of Nebraska holidays since 1987. The distinctive meltaway chocolates have a special spot in our hearts - not only for the nostalgia factor, but because they’re genuinely delicious.

You can pick up a pre-packaged bag of your favorite flavor or make your own mix from the bins of individually wrapped chocolates.

Do you know the wrapper code? The friendly folks here will gladly tell you what flavor each wrapper denotes - and so will lots of signs throughout the store.

You can find more than just Bakers meltaways here (not that you need more than that). Various types of candy, soda, and other sweet treats are available. The chocolate potato chip clusters may not be Nebraska-made, but they’re delicious and totally worth a try.

But the meltaways are, of course, what everyone really comes for. There’s nothing in the world quite like these rich, smooth morsels.
