Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My wife and I stopped by the Candy Lady boutique to purchase some peanut butter crunch for my wife's mother. The 30+ year old business had a steady flow of customers during our visit. We place mail orders about once per quarter from the Candy Lady. We always enjoy stopping by and seeing Debbie and Jim - great Americans providing a great service and products!

This was a fun store! I don't watch breaking bad, but the story and history of the store is very interesting. The candy and chocolate covered goodies are awesome. The Candy Lady is a mandatory stop.

Once on Breaking Bad tour, this place is a must to visit.
The quality of the candies is amazing, the candy lady was elected as best candy maker of the area and there are several newspaper articles at the entrancr.
The personnel is super kind, they are into BB so much that you think they are part of the crew film.
There you can find the famous blue crystal, they even joke about the "purity" of the crystal they make.
The photo session is really fun, they have all the gadgets to let you take some great shot: Walter's hat, sunglasses, apron!! And of course a tray full of blue crystals!!
We spent at least 30 minutes in this shop (where anyway we left 80 dollars in BB gadgets), it was the best half an hour of the day (been visiting Jesse's house, Walter's house, Los Pollos hermanos).
Absolutely a must to see for a BB fan, but also for amazing candies.

The was a neat stop on our Breaking Bad tour of ABQ. The staff was phenomenal and extremely friendly and they had some great merchandise from the show. Here where the “BUT” comes into play, right when you walk into the candy shop to your immediate right was a corner that was filled with chocolate shaped...how do I say this nicely...genitals. They called it their “x rated room” although there was nothing to warn us. Honestly, this was such an extreme turn off. It was in the same little room as the Breaking Bad merchandise. So tacky! I’m by no means a prude but it put a damper on things. We left only buying a tiny bag of candy and no other items. We would have gladly bought souvenirs and spent a lot more money but after seeing the nasty “x rated” room we hit the door. If the owner reads this, if you want to continue to sell these items, at least put them where they are more difficult to see and not near the door. I would have been mortified if I were with children.

They're peanut butter crunch is out of this world. It's like a gourmet plus Butterfinger. It is good crumbled on top of ice cream. It's a family recipe of the candy lady that's been around 55 years. If you go into the store try a sample. It can also be ordered on candylady.com

so if you are a Breaking Bad nut, as my friends and I are, this tour is a must. Harold, the driver, is a charm (in a Breaking Bad sort of way). He was knowledgeable, extremely accommodating, and clearly enjoyed looking after us. We asked him to stop at a few extra places (Starbucks, a drugstore). the tour is worth it because the locations are all over the Albuquerque area- it would be a real pain to find them on your own. And we wouldn't have recognized many of them, because they seem somehow different without the BB signage , actors, etc.
We thought the tour a bit expensive when we signed up but it was worth every penny!
We got great souvenirs at the Candy Lady's shop- an excellent range of options from hilarious postcards to pins, t-shirts and of course, "blue meth" candy.

The fame/uniqueness of this place seems to rest on two things: blue breaking bad candy and the very x rated candy room. Other than that, the place is small, cramped, and not particularly welcoming.

A must see candy store if you love Breaking Bad. They have a photo setup in the back with props to take pictures of you and the stars dishing up the blue meth(candy). This store as a variety of souvenirs from the show and great candy selection at reasonable prices.

I really enjoyed my time here. Unlike most visitors, I came to the store unaware of its ties to Breaking Bad. Their candy was delicious—particularly the chocolate-chili fudges. The staff was very friendly and let us take our time looking around. They also had some amusing souvenirs for sale. I would highly recommend this store for Breaking Bad fans and regular candy enthusiasts alike!
