The Candy Box on Frederick Road is an old-fashioned family owned candy store that has become an institution in Catonsville. It looks and feels like you always imagine a candy store should but never is (since most people pick up cheap candy at the grocery store and good candy at a shop in the mall)—small with a big picture window and glass counters inside showing off chocolates and candies that little kids dream about. There’s a nice selection of candy making equipment as well, and in the summer, crowds line up to get snowballs and ice cream. When I was first reading Harry Potter, their description of the candy store in Hogsmeade reminded me of the Candy Box.
