Not everyone has a sweet tooth… but just about everyone loves some sort of candy.  And… there aren’t many who can resist the allure of a good candy store.  Even if you don’t have that sweet tooth… it’s just too much fun to pass up a moment or a memory of childhood.   While there are many candy stores in Pittsburgh, there are a few that seem to take us back to those special penny candy days of old.   Here are 7 of the best candy stores in Pittsburgh we could find!

1. Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shop
