Welcome to Abby Brown's Candy Shoppe


Everything began with Abby Brown. She opened a candy shop in Anderson, Indiana during the 1940's.  When she retired in the mid 1970's, her greatnephew moved the store to Fort Wayne and we've been here for over 30 years. 


We make only a few chocolate items, and all of our molded chocolate figures.  We use 14 different companies for the rest of the chocolates that we carry.  Our goal is to find the most interesting and best that the companies have, and offer those to our customers.  Many of these companies are regional and are unknown in the Fort Wayne area.  Finding delicious specialties, and seeing our customers enjoy them, is part of the fun of having a candy store.  All of the chocolates are in trays in the candy cases, so we can pack mixed boxes of your favorites for you.
 

We make many solid chocolate molded items.  Right now, we have hundreds of molds, but a very small store.  There isn't a lot of display room, so many of our molds are only made a few times a year.  If you do stop by, check out the "Fine Arts Department."  We make molded chocolate works of art like "David", "Venus Rising", "Starry Night", "Mona Lisa", "The Ballerina" and others.     
If  you are  looking for a particular chocolate form, give us a call.  We may have a mold for it.  Any of our molded chocolates can be ordered if you give us a few days notice. 


We have one of the largest selections of black licorice in the Midwest.  Our customers asked for licorice, so we found over 40 varieties.   Look at our Licorice page on this website.  If you have a favorite black licorice, please call and see if we already carry it.  If not, we'll be happy to look for it.  Unfortunately, many of the licorices that people enjoyed in the past have been discontinued.  Sometimes the best things are the ones that disappear.


In addition to chocolates and licorice, we offer confections from Boston Baked Beans to Cinnamon Balls...from Rum Cordials to Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans...from Chocolate Rocks (amazingly realistic) to Chocolate Raspberries.  One of our most popular items is a soft Butter Caramel.  

I guess that it wouldn't be a candy store without Fudge.  We have at least 5 regular flavors with a special 6th flavor offered every once in a while.  It goes fast, so call before you drive out of your way.  Flavors include Peanut Butter, Chocolate/Peanut Butter Swirl, Chocolate, Chocolate Pecan and Maple Walnut.  It's finger licking good...


It really is so much fun to have a candy store!

Because of a family medical situation, we sometimes are gone for doctor appointments.  Please call ahead if we are out of your way.

Seniors, 60 and above, receive a 10% discount on all purchases.  Please mention that you are a senior to receive the discount - we are happy to give it to you!

Because we are small, we often run out of candies and it always seems to be the one that you wanted.  This is especially true during the holidays. Please call during business hours (9-6 Eastern time) and we'll be happy to take your order.  We can then tell you if there will be a wait to restock...and you can tell us exactly what you want.  We do not have an answering machine so please call when we are open.  Thanks!


We ship from mid-October until Easter.  During the warm weather the only candy that we ship is licorice.
