Watson's Chocolates

Find all your hometown Buffalo NY favorite chocolates and more. Prices are on the rise again later this Fall before the holiday shopping season. Sponge candy currently $28 per pound for milk chocolate. No more "sweet" prices of yesteryear.

The best quality at excellent prices. The lady at the counter was so nice I didn't want to leave. If you miss sponge candy like I did, this is the place to go! We will be back!

What can you say about a place that makes their own chocolate delights. Soo wonderful

The staff members are friendly and helpful. There is a wide selection of chocolates, and the packaging is professional and beautiful.

Great customer service. Wanted a specific choice of candy that I couldn't find ready- made. Made a box of chocolates up special for me.

As someone who was born and raised in WNY, to parents who both had sweet tooth-itis, I of course developed a taste for candy & particularly chocolate. I would save my milk money to buy candy on my way home from school because my route took me right past the candy store where homemade sweets were produced, including a WNY favorite known as "sponge" candy, a concoction of toffee with baking soda added to make the toffee 'puff up' with millions of tiny air bubbles that became light & crunchy when it dried. The toffee is then cut into squares & dipped in chocolate to produce the finished product.
That candy store is long gone, but Watson's remains in many locations around WNY, including Ellicotville, NY, the quaint town that is home to Holiday Valley ski slopes; 2 Transit Road locations - one in Clarence, & one in Depew; and a small outlet store in a strip plaza on Southwestern Blvd near a Tops Supermarket.
Watson's chocolates are excellent - smooth, rich & creamy. Milk, dark, & orange flavors. The selection is huge - nuts, chews, fudge, meltaways, creams, suckers, molds, and also turtles, sponge, and malted milk balls. You can buy pre-packed boxes, create your own box, or just buy by the piece. They also have ice cream.
I am most familiar with the location near the Foreststream shopping center on Transit Rd in Depew. They are open 7 days a week, 10-9 Mon-Sat, & 12-6 Sun, because the desire for chocolate has no days off!
There is one problem at this location and it's the entrance. The stairs are steep, and there is a ramp next to the stairs to make it handicapped accessible, but the ramp is too steep to be usable for anyone with a walker or wheelchair, & 2 winter's ago the boards warped on the ramp, and it is difficulty to navigate. Please fix these issues!

They sell really good chocolate I got sponge candy and caramels sponge is the greatest you don't find any bad pieces like you do in other places and the caramels are smooth soft and gooey yum

Love Watson’s. Store was not busy at all, but still had delicious sponge candy well stocked!
