Why choose one kind of candy when you can have it all? At Curly Girl Candy Shop, they have over 100 different candies. In the mood for chocolate? Or maybe you want licorice or sour and chewy. Pick your favorites!

Salem’s sweetest stop, Curly Girl Candy Shop, is officially in full Halloween mode — and it’s pure magic. The pastel charm of summer has transformed into a spooky candy wonderland filled with orange-and-black ribbons, cobweb-draped jars, and shelves brimming with chocolate pumpkins, sour bats, and ghost gummies.

Owner Marnie “Curly Girl” herself and her team have gone all out — from haunted window displays to themed treats like “poison apple” caramels and nostalgic Halloween candy classics. Every corner feels like a spell has been cast, and the scent of caramel and cocoa practically pulls you in from Washington Street.

Whether you’re stocking up for trick-or-treaters, grabbing a Salem souvenir, or just indulging your sweet tooth, this is the season to stop by and soak up the magic.
