Crown Candy Kitchen

Home of the Heart-Stopping cake.

Crown Candy Kitchen was opened in 1913 by Harry Karadzieff and Pete Jugaloff, who came from Greece. Five decades later, the business is still run today by the 4th generation Karadzieff family.

Crown Candy Kitchen is known for their famous “Heart-Stopping BLT” which has 14 pieces of bacon on it. My husband and I both tried one. It was delicious but after eating it we both thought it was too much bacon!

Crown Candy Kitchen also makes their own chocolate. I had to try some! I
got a homemade peanut butter cup. It was really good! I’ll definitely have to get another one next time I go back. The kids each picked out a lollipop.

Crown Candy Kitchen is also known for their “5 Malt Challenge”. Anyone who can drink 5 24-ounce malts in 30 minutes, the malts are free and your name gets placed on a plaque. Since 1913 only 30 people have successfully completed the challenge. This is one challenge I don’t think I will take part in. We got 2 malts (a chocolate and a marshmallow) and 4 of us couldn’t drink them all.
