Ye Olde Pepper Candy Companie, Salem

This might be America’s oldest candy company, offering classic Salem treats like Salem Gibraltars and Black Jacks, but there’s nothing staid or boring about the shop. It’s a candy lover’s dream, with a huge chocolate counter filled with truffles and turtles; old-fashioned candies like root beer barrels and gummy lobsters; and wintergreen patties, nonpareils, and more. Be sure to visit the flagship Salem store and the North Andover location seasonally, especially around the holidays. 122 Derby St., Salem, 978-745-2744, oldepeppercandy.com
