Urinals that dispense candy at Yucky
Urinals that dispense candy, a Ferrari that shoots gumballs out of its exhaust pipe, a chocolate lab where you can put everything from Hot Cheetos to Bacon Bits in your custom chocolate bar... You can experience all this and much more at Sweet! located in the Hollywood and Highland complex.
The Stay Puft marshmallow boutique
Sweet! is the Disneyland of candy shops. This over the top store contains a dozen boutiques including Peace of Candy (candies from around the world), Stay Puft (everything marshmallow), the Wonka Room (creative truffles and chocolate bars designed by Willy Wonka), and Sticky (traditional handmade hard candies with customizable messages). I am pretty sure this place has every candy imaginable!

The good ship lollypop at the Lollywood boutique
Sweet! took me down memory lane. Seeing the Nerds, Airheads, and Chupa Chups made me nostalgic for simpler times. (That nostalgia must have carried through when I chose the song for the video--can you name who sings it?)

Taking Candy from a Baby candy dispenser
Another awesome thing about Sweet! is the free samples. At the main candy counter they let you try any of the sweet and sour gummy candies in the case. I chose the gummy watermelon, which I used to inhale as a kid. Also at the Sticky boutique we got to watch them make sour apple candies from start to finish, and we got a taste at the end!

Wonka's "Square Sweets That Look Round" (haha!)
Here are some tips for your visit:
- There is an underground paid parking garage for the Hollywood and Highland complex. The garage entrance is off of Highland.
- Sweet! is located on the second floor.
- We went early to avoid the crowd on the weekend which was a good move--we had the place mostly to ourselves.
- Some of the boutiques (Peace of Candy, As If and Stay Puft) are located across from the main Sweet! shop. These boutiques open later than the main store (on Sunday they opened at noon).
