Candy Headquarters

Hi! I am Tracy!
Most people call me the "Candy Lady!"

I have been spreading candy love since I opened in 2007.

Our first store is located in Keene, New Hampshire.

a.k.a. Candy Headquarters.

Life is Sweet has been the place for "Sweet” lovers from all generations to gather for almost 18 years in New Hampshire.

Remember "that place" where you bought candy

when you were a kid?

It's just like that - but now its even better!

Follow along to find all your favorite treats. 😊

Here are the things we offer at this location!

BULK CANDY

Bulk Candy is our thing!

With almost 300+ jars of mix and match candies -

you can make your very own perfect candy bag.

Here's how it works:

Grab a glove and a bag or a box.

Explore to create your candy bag.


The candies are divided into sections to make searching easy.

Check the scale as much as you want.

It's the perfect candy bag.

For you.

Made by you.

Hooray!

Maple Candy

This home-made maple candy is imported from New Hampshire. Made by our neighbors from their very own maple trees. This northern New England treat is not to miss.

If you haven't tried maple candy - you are missing out!

Home-made Fudge

This home-made fudge is made with real cream and butter. It is creamy in texture and will melt in your mouth and delight you. It is made by us in our Life Is Sweet kitchen in Keene. The basics are vanilla, chocolate, peanut butter, and penuche (which is a brown sugar fudge popular in New England).

Check out our current Fudge Flavors.

Chocolate

HAND-MADE AND ARTISAN CHOCOLATE Chocolates are a girl's best friend, right? Maybe! Life is Sweet has a huge chocolate case full of your favorite delectable treats. Chocolate covered pretzels, monster turtles, caramels, creams, clusters, and artisan truffles. Pick a few or a gift box. Send one to a friend online.

Ice Cream

As a child, my family vacationed on Loon Lake in the Adirondacks. One of my favorite memories was visiting the local Stewart’s in Chestertown to make our own ice cream sundaes. It was always a delightful mess! We got to choose our ice cream, pile on our favorite toppings, and finish with a swirl of whipped cream. (No cherry for me, please!)

For my sisters and me, that sweet tradition has lasted over four decades—a cherished experience of fun shared with family and friends. Do you have a memory like that? We bet you do. Maybe it’s time to make a new one with us! 😊

Choose your ice cream and decorate it yourself from the toppings bar.
