You won't find any "penny candy" at the Candy Baron, but the bins full of taffy, candy necklaces, Beeman's gum, Cinnamon Tooth Picks and Red Licorice Pipes, for sweet starters, will very likely weaken your resistance to the inflation-adjusted prices. Besides, in this shrink-wrapped era, where else can you wield a scoop to select what you want? This is a good place to stock up before you go to any of the nearby movie houses, whose candy prices will make you think you found a bargain at the Candy Baron.
