When I was a little kid my mom would give us sweet tooth candies for Valentines and Easter. At Valentines we would get a small box of their delicious opera creams and at Easter we would each get a chocolate cream filled egg. It was a beautiful egg and the chocolates are so creamy and fresh, not hard or stale like a box you might buy at the grocery.
For Valentine's, I always go there to get my husband chocolate turtles. He loves them!
Sweet tooth has been around for a very long time. The candy is made fresh in Newport. The owner is Mr. Bob Schneider. Mr. Schneider is a nice guy! My children grew up with his grandchildren. He and his store sponsored their softball teams and end of season parties. Once, I was in the store and witnessed a couple of kids come in looking for ice cream. They admitted they didn't have any money, but he gave them each a small ice cream cone.
In the summer, it's a great place to go for ice-cream or ice balls. My personal favorite is the peach flavored ice ball with a small scoop of vanilla ice-cream in the center.
The shop is quaint. They have cute little soda shop tables and chairs and there are a couple of benches in front to sit on while eating ice-cream. The staff, have been the same staff I can remember for ever, since my kids were small, and they are super nice.
If your looking for a sweet treat for your valentine, consider Sweet Tooth Candies. It is an icon, American made, local made treats. If your out this summer, check them out and give that peach ice ball a try, you won't be disappointed!
