Easter Candy Sales Steady

Easter Candy Sales Steady - Friday, March 26, 2010 at 04:01AM EST

Candy is always a popular treat for the Easter holiday. But in a tough economy, are sales up or down? We stopped by a local chocolate shop to find out. As solid chocolate turns into liquid perfection at Lang's Chocolates in Williamsport, owner William Lang says sales are good as Easter approaches. Lang said, "This year the economy doesn't seem to be affecting the Easter sales. We are definitely doing very well. Easter is actually our biggest holiday right behind Christmas." Lang says he's prepared for a busy week leading up to the holiday, even offering customized treats for shoppers. He noted, "We definitely go through a few hundred pounds preparing for Easter in doing hollow bunnies, solid bunnies, and with our Easter eggs." People we spoke with say many of the traditional, popular choices are still their top pick for this year. Melissa Saldivar agreed, "Yes I am buying. Usually I get the chocolate bunnies and the Easter eggs. Just because it's tradition and I always do it, so I guess the economy's not holding me back from that." Lang adds that specialized Internet orders-which get shipped all over the country- are a growing part of his business. He explained, "A lot of people are finding that they're not finding it in the local stores, so they go online and we have exactly what they're looking for." And that's helping to ensure that everyone has a sweet treat to enjoy when the Easter holiday arrives. If you're looking to order some Easter treats, you can call Langs Chocolates at 570-323-6320 or log onto www. langschocolates. com .
