Idaho Candy Company

Idaho Candy Company is a Boise candy maker known for the Idaho Spud, a candy bar with a cocoa marshmallow center, dark chocolate coating and coconut sprinkle that was first introduced in 1918. The company also makes Owyhee Butter Toffee, peanut brittles and clusters, and bite-size candies, along with novelty bars named for Northwest places and mascots such as the Huckleberry Gem and Old Faithful.

The factory store at 412 South 8th Street sells fresh factory candy, seasonal treats and apparel, and the company ships orders online and offers wholesale and corporate orders. Store hours are limited, with weekday mornings and shorter weekend hours, and the shop is closed on major holidays. Factory tours are described as coming soon.
