Columbia State Historic Park: Nelson’s Columbia Candy Kitchen; things to do

Highway 49--Gold Rush Country

Nelson’s Columbia Candy Kitchen  

22726 Main St. 

The vintage Nelson's Columbia Candy Kitchen uses 100-year-old recipes and antique equipment to turn out such old-time favorites as horehound, rocky road, and almond bark.  New favorites include white-chocolate dipped apricots, chocolate-caramel-pecan turtles, and white-chocolate California bears. Sugar-free goodies are also available.  This sweet shop has been in the same family for five generations and is rated as one of the ten top candy shops in the U.S.
