Bomboy’s Candy is located at 329 Market Street in Havre de Grace and is a family-owned and operated business. There are currently three generations of Bomboys handcrafting chocolates in the store.
The parking is directly next to the store. Parking is also available on the street or at their ice cream store directly across from their candy shop if parking is full.
The store is small yet filled with so much love. From my experience, as soon as you walk in, you are greeted with a warm smile and the smell of rich chocolate. They have a wide variety ranging from delicious chocolates filled with gooey caramel to gummy worms lined against their walls. They also have certain molded chocolates which make the perfect personal present.
Their mixed chocolate box is white with a gold outlining of their store. It includes boats, a dock with a fisher, and a lighthouse, all in shimmering gold.
Some chocolate flavors they offer are birthday cake truffle, chocolate-covered nuts including cashews, Brazil, and almonds, chocolate drops, cinnamon bun truffle, coconut cream, creamy peanut butter, Fluffernutter, and marshmallow.Most of their options come in both milk and dark, and some have a white chocolate option.
For their Valentine’s Specials, they have adorable heart-shaped candy boxes where you can customize which of their many candies you fill it with. They also serve chocolate-covered strawberries.
Once you enter Bomboy’s, you can’t stop wanting to come back. The store’s candy is not only delicious, but the employees and atmosphere are sure to put a smile on your face.
