I love this place! The staff is always friendly and the options are limitless. I always come here with friends before heading to the movies next door. My favorites are gummies, and omg, do they have gummies! I recently discovered that they carry the Trader Joes Australian Strawberry Licorice, which is literally heaven. They have jelly beans, endless amounts of chocolate covered treats, and so many other things that I still need to try.
They charge you depending on the weight of the candy, which is a little on the high side. But for the variety they carry, I think it’s worth it. Also, you must purchase over $ 5 of treats if you want to use a debit/​credit card, which is usually not too hard to do.
Contrary to what has been said in other posts, I think the candy bins are always full and you never have to worry about them running out.

I have been to this small store once before. I bought a big bag of mixed jelly beans. I don’t remember the total exactly but I’m guessing it was around $ 15-​$ 20? Something reasonable. I was happy. I went back recently. I filled up two smaller bags of jelly beans… a little more than I got the first time but not a truck load more. The lady put the bags on the scale and said «your total is $ 74.80»… There was an awkward silence for a few seconds… then I laughed and said what? Did they start adding gold to these things? For 75 bucks worth of jelly beans I would expect to be backing my truck up to the door to load them on. We left the jelly beans there and I hope it took that lady a LONG time to sort them all back out into their proper bins. That was ridiculous. NEVER AGAIN.

BEWARE OF THE CANDY CROSSING in The Glen. There is a treacherous entry into the store. A loose bolt in the threshold causes patrons to trip and tear clothing. Manager, Joanna said «it’s not my problem.» When asked to speak to the owner, Joanna conveniently wrote down the wrong number. They may have some cute candy with a minimal jelly belly selection. Rude and inappropriate customer service but definitely an UNSAFE store to enter. Who needs to spend money where safety is «not their problem?»

After eating dinner in The Glen, we wandered around looking for something eye catching during our lovely snow storm. We just happened upon the Candy Crossing while walking the shops and just had to see what was inside.
The shop is small and quaint and the employee was very helpful. There are plenty of candies for any enthusiast and even some of the older hard-​to-​finds. I found that old Gold Nugget gum in the small burlap sacks — I loved those things! There were also plenty of choices in some of modern favs too.
Now, those chocolate covered gummy bears sure sounded good but I opted instead for some standby Skittles and Swedish Fish for about $ 2.19 a pound.
NO I DIDN’T EAT A FULL POUND!

This sad little Candyality wannabe is deficient in every conceivable way, but I suppose that they must please the suburban rugrats (and their mothers) who don’t know any better.
The store is, how do you say… not quite an aesthetic wonderland. It’s tiny and cramped. The candy bins are mostly empty. The reticent middle-​aged clerk does not exactly bubble over in welcome. «Dreary» is the word which most comes to mind.
And their candy selection stinks. The selection in the bulk bins stinks, and the name-​brand packaged selection stinks. No Charleston Chew? No Mallow Cups? Oh, but thanks for the Sugar Daddys [read sarcasm please].
Just look at the Jelly Bellys: only one decent flavor (Buttered Popcorn) out of about a dozen bins. And even if you happen to like Cherry, Pomegranate, Island Punch, Tutti Fruitti, and/​or Pear, you have to admit that it makes no sense to have only one non-​fruit flavor in the whole selection. Booo.

This little store is cute, and they do have some tasty treats and candies that I can’t find in other places. However, it’s pretty pricey ($ 2.14 for a quarter pound of candy, $ 2.49 for a quarter pound of chocolate). Yikes! I would be better off buying a huge bag of candy from the store! The staff wasn’t very friendly either… she seemed like she hated her job and was watching our every move. If you are desperate for some sugar I guess you could go here, but I wouldn’t recommend it!

This is a cute little candy store in the Glen. The workers are very friendly, pretty good and unique selection of items, kind of high prices.
They have Dippin Dots! Nomnomnom. I got some Oreo Dippin Dots for a little over $ 4. As I said, the workers were great, knew the prices right off the bat, plus were very friendly in giving me my spoon.
Great location right next to the movie theater. Grab some snacks and watch a movie!

The Candy Crossing is good place to go when walking around on a sunny day at the glen… and I can be almost certain you won’t leave empty handed! The assortment ranges from the nostalgic treats of childhood (mallowbars, necco wafers) to strange glowing worms and candied crickets…
The only down-​side is its smallish space and rather unchanging consumables.
Nevertheless it is a treat for children and adults alike with inspired décor and even a fun train going through the store, completing the atmosphere with their delightful employees. All in all, a fun place for eye candy and sweets as well.

This is a really cute candy shop that will definitely make your child’s day. They have cute gift bags, holiday themed treats, baseball sized lollipops and jawbreakers, and bins and bins of assorted candy. The majority of the candy sold here is sold by the weight, so your child can create their own assortment of sixlets, gold coins, and other dime store candy. We left with a real nice assortment for under $ 1! That rocks!
Very nice and friendly staff!
P. S. I believe that this is the only place in the mall besides The Yard restaurant that has an ATM.
