Candylicious Opens in Dubai

Here's another reason to visit Dubai Mall.

Candylicious -- the world's largest candy store, recently launched its branch in Dubai. Malling with Andreas gave us an excuse to visit the store in its second day of opening. Boy, it was a sweet fantasy came true!!! Candy dispenser that reaches the ceiling, chocolates of every brand, gourmet cookies, lollipops in all shapes and sizes you can imagine, mouth watering smell of popcorn, ice cream bar, and there was a bakery called Hot Blondies -- who can resist such?

In the middle of this 10,000 sq ft store, is a chocolate tree decked with lollipops. It even boasts of the world's larget pick and mix. Photography is not allowed but being a rule-breaker that i am, I share with you some photos. They are not of quality since i worked without flash and everything had to be taken discreetly - while smiling at the security guard.

You won't miss the store because it is located right in front of the Aquarium. This li'l vintage car was displayed at the entrance. By now you could smell the apple-cinnamon popcorn.

Of course, the novelty M&Ms flew all the way from US :)

My two boys are speechless.

So what did we buy? Jelly Beans in all flavours - it was our first to taste such. It costs around 9 AED but we consumed it all before i could even take a photo.
