Canada’s Chocolate Town Just Got Sweeter
By Jayna Smith
St. Stephen, N.B., known as Canada’s chocolate town for its claim of creating the world’s first chocolate bar, just got sweeter, thanks to a new downtown candy store. Candy Creations opened this week at 184 Milltown Boulevard.
Owner Cathy Cairns said she started making candy about 35 years ago. “I went into a bulk food store and these beautiful candy Christmas trees were sitting on the shelf. I asked the owner to explain to me how she made them and that’s where my journey began making candy.”
