An amazing experience....if you are in the Pittsburgh vicinity you should really stop by. It's about 30 miles north of the city and was originally a truck stop before Interstate 79 was built. My friend's grandmother was a waitress there. Now it's a mecca of penny candy and other assorted worldly novelty foods like octopus eyes. Just kidding, but they have some really exotic food. You might want to check the expiration date.
Anyways, its one spot where you can get a bag ful of something for less than a $1. -

What a clever little shop this is. They have a large selection of candies and treats that you won't typically find in stores. My wife and I stopped in today and ran across DeRuijter chocolate sprinkles that we haven't seen since our visit to the Netherlands 6 years ago.
Sadly, the prices have gone up as of late. Much of the "penny" candy has now become 'by the pound" and all candy bars are now $1 each. For the every day candies (like my favorite, the Whatchamacallit bar) you'd be better off going to the local grocery store for a lower price. If, on the other hand, you're looking for something unusual or just want to take kids out for a treat then this is a good stop.
Make sure you bring cash or a check. No cards are accepted. -

Okay, okay. How could anyone live in Butler County and say that they had never stepped foot inside Baldinger's? Well, that was me until today. At 4:30 in the afternoon, I wondered if the family business would be opened. I pulled into the parking lot (if you could call in that) and the lot was packed. Inside, it smells old and musty. It's like going back in time. Look around and you will be amazed. The place is jam-packed with candy and other novelity food items. Don't be like me and miss this place. There is nothing like it. It's a good place to spend an hour or so.

Huge variety of "penny" candy by the pound. Nostalgic items, classics and some international items. Worth a visit, just north of Cranberry,

Baldingers is a Cranberry/Zelie institution, and you certainly can't come up through the Seneca Valley School system without having gone their with your friends to binge on penny candy at least once. They were featured on an episode of the Food Network's Unwrapped, and when I saw it with my boyfriend a few weeks ago, I shouted before they even said the name, "I KNOW WHERE THAT IS! That's Baldingers!!!" He looked at me like I was crazy, but how can you truly explain how fun it is to step into this creaky old store and pick through the bins of candy and shelves of imported goodies? (I suppose it's worth mentioning that I am no longer located in the Pittsburgh area, hence why my significant other had no clue what I was talking about.)

Pretty nice place kids love it, there is alot of neat little gizmo's in there. You can get penny candy. There is alot of old style candy like when o was a kid, stuff like wax bottles with that juice in them. Lick a stick was there candy cigarettes, pop rocks. And to many to name as the pieces candy. It is only about 35-40 miles in zelienople Pa before you get to Cranberry. It is a nice little road trip that you and the kids can enjoy on a nice quiet afternoon

This is a longtime local favorite, and really worth a visit if you're in the Pittsburgh/Butler area. Huge selection of candy - all your favorites from when you were little. Also, an amazing selection of cookie cutters - need a baseball bat cookie cutter? A screwdriver? An owl? They've got it.
