There's No Place Like Dylan's Candy Bar
Where
Troubles Melt Like Lemon Drops
Dylan
Lauren has always loved candy, as many of us do, but she really
loves
candy. And not just for the sugar rush and delectable flavors. She
sees candy as more than an edible trinket. Dylan sees wonder and
beauty in the overall composition, the smells, the colors, and the
bright packaging. She sees art, fun, and fashion!
Dylan's
Candy Bar opened in 2001, however the love affair with candy began
years before. Dylan's parents screened Willy
Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
for her sixth birthday party. Dylan was so captivated with the
fanciful imagery, visions of sugar plums began to dance in her head
and they've never stopped.
Dylan
believes everyone deserves a little sweet indulgence with some
glamour thrown in for good measure. She draws inspiration from
anything colorful and unique, art, film, and fashion. In Dylan's
Candy Bar she was able to meld her various passions into one cohesive
concept.
The
flagship store in New York City has grown to 15,000 square feet over
three floors. Two and a half million visitors a year can choose
from over 7,000 different types of candies ranging from nostalgic
treats of America's bygone eras to sweets imported from all over the
world. They also house a literal candy bar that serves candy
flavored cocktails to the 21 and over crowd, a bakery, ice cream
parlor, and cafe'. Dylan's Candy Bar is a bona fide tourist
destination listing very high on many New York City must see lists.
Who could possibly resist the allure of an award winning 10 1/2 foot
tall lollipop tree or a 10 foot tall statue of Dylan's mascot
Chocolate the Bunny?
Dylan
Lauren and the fine Dylan's Candy Bar staff understand collectors and
the appeal of collectibles. In addition to candy, Dylan collects
rabbits of varying mediums and boasts a menagerie of over 3000. With
collectors in mind, Dylan created not only the world's foremost candy
emporium, but candy for the spirit. Dylan's Candy Bar carries a wide
array of candy themed apparel, toys, plush, jewelry, and home decor.
After all who doesn't feel good just looking at candy?? Dylan's
innovation and success has prompted the likes of Madame Alexander,
Mattel, Hasbro, Alex Toys, Pez, LeSportsac, and most recently
Claire's Boutique to produce playful memorabilia based on the world's
largest candy store.
Over
the years various imitators have popped up and though they say
imitation is the sincerest form of flattery..........there's just no
place like Dylan's.

Crispies and Gummies and Treats, Oh My!!!
Delici'oz Delectables from the Land of Oz:
Crispies and Gummies and Treats, Oh My!!!
The
Munchkinland scenes for The
Wizard of Oz
were filmed during the 1938 Christmas season. Flower Pot Munchkin
Margaret Pellegrini would often recount one of her favorite memories
of Judy Garland during this time. MGM deemed Judy Garland a big
enough star to warrant her very own trailer. The Munchkins presented
it to the thrilled young star and she in turn had a surprise for
them. It would have been quite a feat to shop for 125 individual
gifts so Judy Garland bestowed them with a huge box of candy while
proclaiming "Sweets for the Sweets!" She then very
graciously autographed photos for anyone that requested one. Many
Munchkins kept this treasured memento their whole lives.
The
whimsical characters and locales of Oz seem tailor made for candy
product. It's surprising there hasn't been a slew of candy Oz
candies. The lack of confections from over the rainbow will make
the offerings from Dylan's Candy Bar that much more special. Dylan's
Candy Bar has had successful film collaborations with Charlie
and the Chocolate Factory,
Hotel
Transylvania,
and The
Smurfs.
They also stocked and abundance of Harry
Potter
candy. Dylan's next cinematic venture salutes the 75th anniversary
of The
Wizard of Oz.

A celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer movie musical, this new book The Wizard of Oz offers a rare glimpse into the creation of the classic film, its creator L. Frank Baum, the Academy Award-winning score, the leading lady, and the Oz phenomenon that continues to captivate the world.
Although Oz creator L. Frank Baum died twenty years prior to the release of MGM's celebrated film, his fascinating career and story, as told in this new book, will surprise even the most devoted Oz fans. Prior to MGM's 1939 release of the movie, Baum's book was featured as a Broadway musical, with songs by the justifiably forgotten Fred R. Hamlin, and two bizarre silent movies. The enduring appeal and lasting influence of The Wizard of Oz are discussed in a special chapterby creator's great-grandson Roger Baum.
The Wizard of Oz will lead the reader down the proverbial yellow brick road to discover:
The seven flawless decisions MGM made to adapt Baum's sprawling children's book into a movie musical.
The groundbreaking moviemaking techniques, MGM's second full-length Technicolor film.
The surprising story behind Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg's superlative score, which includes "Over the Rainbow," considered the greatest movie song of all time.
How Judy Garland won "Dorothy," her most enduring role, after 20th Century Fox refused to loan Shirley Temple to MGM.
The birth of film's greatest canine star, Cairn Terrier, Terry, as Dorothy's little dog "Toto".
The many everyday Oz expressions that come from the most oft-quoted movie of all time
How the Wicked Witch of the West (renamed her Elphaba after Oz creator's initials) was remade "for good" in Broadway's Oz prequel Wicked.
This celebration of the iconic film is a must-have for all Wizard of Oz lovers.
