The maker story
The Story Behind Idaho Candy Company.
The story behind the name
A Boise Candy Shop with a Northwest Personality
Idaho Candy Company’s factory store is in downtown Boise. Its regional identity gives a candy assortment a sense of place: Idaho Spud, Old Faithful, Cherry Cocktail, Huckleberry Gem, and Owyhee Butter Toffee bring different flavors and forms to the same maker’s collection. Huckleberry Gem’s berry-flavored center is a newer expression of that regional personality. Together, these treats offer a way to explore the Northwest through a candy maker’s own lineup.
