Where to Buy Local Halloween Candy in Pittsburgh

When jack o’ lanterns light the streets and spooky decor hangs about, cravings for chocolate and Halloween candy are at an all time high. The sweet sugar rush of this haunting holiday is one its best features. But, you don’t have to run to Walmart to buy a bag of cheap candy that tastes like plastic and no one enjoys. Instead, invest in high-quality chocolates from Sarris Candies and decadent specialty apples from Candyapple & Co. to gift yourself or your friends and family treats worth indulging in this year. 

Where to Buy Local Halloween Candy in Pittsburgh

Sarris Candies

You can’t have Halloween without a trip to Sarris Candies. This local chocolatier in Canonsburg always brings fun shapes and interactive treats to their seasonal menu. This year, pick up character shaped chocolates like witches, ghosts, pumpkins, and even jack o’ lantern chocolate pops. They’re great for giving out to your kids, grandkids, or even friends. The store also carries small foil wrapped chocolate balls in bright orange and green colors with pumpkin and cat designs on them. Hand these small treats out on Halloween night to trick or treaters.

But, if you want to go all out this holiday, you need to purchase their Halloween Bashcake. These table-top chocolate pinatas are decorated in black and orange colors in the shape of a cupcake. With the included wooden hammer, hit open the pinata to reveal the chocolate covered pretzel goodies inside.  

Tabbara Chocolates

The finely crafted bonbons at Tabbara are based on generations of family recipes. Their Halloween assortment sports ghosts, spiders, and other spooky motifs. The ghosts are Tabbara’s version of smores, made with vegan marshmallow, chocolate ganache, and speculoos cookie base. Spiders are filled with salted caramel milk chocolate ganache. Halloween squares are filled with milk chocolate, hazelnut praline, and crunchy biscuits, and orange balls are peanut butter cereal crunch enrobed in milk and white chocolate.

The assortment comes in a lovely Tabbara box tied with a ribbon, which makes it a perfect, thoughtful gift for a Halloween-loving grown up with a gourmet sweet tooth.

Candyapple & Co. 

This Ohio-based company ships out their specialty apples to stores in Ohio and Southwestern PA. We picked out our perfectly coated and festive apple at Giant Eagle Market District in Fox Chapel, but you can find a whole list of stores with availability on their website. The best part about Candyapple & Co. candy and chocolate coated apples is their variety. They even carry over 300 specialty flavors. Try types like Cookies and Cream, Blue Moon, Buckeye, Dark Chocolate Cranberry, and so many more.

While you’ll find more traditional varieties in stores, you can shop on their website to view all their flavors and have them shipped right to your home.
