Fill Your Bag With What You Crave

Build-A-Mix Candy Bags let you customize your candy selection at Grandma's Sugar & Spice in New Bedford.

You walk into Grandma's Sugar & Spice in New Bedford, grab a bag, and start filling it with exactly what you want. You can choose from sour, gummy, chocolate, and novelty candy options, and everything you pick goes into a bag sized at one, two, or five pounds. If you want all sour or all gummy, you can do that. If you want to mix colors for a party theme or build a bag around a specific flavor profile, you can do that too.

The service gives you full access to the candy wall and bins in the shop, so you control what goes in and how much of each type you include. You might fill a bag with blue and white candies for a baby shower, or load up on every sour variety available if that is what you are craving. Pricing is based on weight, so you pay for what you take, and the bag is sealed and ready to go when you are done filling it.
