Candy Addictions

Candy Addictions is a sweet shop and confectionery experience in Montville, Sunshine Coast, with a focus on handmade candy and personalised treats. The business began in 2004 with the aim of producing high-quality rock candy for Australian and international customers. Today, it caters to everyday visitors as well as people arranging weddings, corporate events and other special occasions, with customised lollies, chocolates, fudge and event candy available for orders.

The venue is connected with Monty’s of Montville, where visitors can find candy, gelato, milkshakes and fudge made on site. The shop is designed as a colourful candy-filled space rather than simply a place to make a purchase, and visitors may be able to watch confectioners create intricate sweets. One of the most distinctive parts of the experience is seeing a large piece of candy stretched and shaped into thousands of smaller pieces, demonstrating the traditional process behind the finished rock candy.

Rock candy is a central part of the offering, with named flavours including strawberry, watermelon, musk and chocolate-filled candy. There is also a three-metre-high lollipop tree carrying lollipops in different sizes, including rosey apple and raspberry lemonade fizz. Fudge is made on site in small batches and comes in a range of sweet and savoury-leaning flavours, while the broader range includes handmade sweets and personalised candy for gifts or favours.

This is a natural stop for families and anyone with a fondness for traditional sweets, including both children and adults. It can also suit visitors looking for a distinctive wedding favour, corporate gift or treat for a special occasion. Solo visitors can browse the candy and watch the making process, while groups may enjoy the visual side of the shop and the variety of sweets, fudge and drinks available through Monty’s of Montville.
