Widman’s Candy

106 South 3rd Street

Looking for some serious eye candy? You’ll be able to pick up the sweetest treats in Grand Forks at Widman’s! Family owned and operated since the 1940s, this quaint shop still makes all its chocolates in-house. Widman’s most famous item is the “Chippers” (chocolate covered rippled potato chips) but these candy experts have been hand dipping all sorts of goodies – including sunflower seeds, corn nuts, blueberries, toffee, marshmallows, bacon, even jalapenos – in deliciously decadent chocolate for decades.
