things first: Try the custard cookie ($3.09). Choose your frozen
custard flavor, which will be smooshed between two cookies. Have your
pick between double chocolate, chocolate-chip vanilla or peanut butter

as many treats as you’d like!

tickled. You’ll be tickled pink at the selection in this candy emporium.

shop has three party rooms to be used for your events and will even
deliver you if you’re having a sweet emergency. Like them on Facebook or
