North Miami Beach Halloween Candy Shop: $14 Caramel Apples

The Sweet Tooth at 18435 NE 19th Ave is the Halloween candy shop in North Miami Beach for people who want their treats made a few feet from the register. The shop has been part of the neighborhood since 1979, and today the storefront and a 5,200-square-foot chocolate factory share one roof, so October means trays of caramel apples, chocolate-dipped pretzels and truffles coming straight off the work tables.

The Sweet Tooth describes itself as a North Miami Beach chocolate shop since 1979 that grew into a factory and store in one building. It is family-owned today and led by Michael Briansky, and the company says every confection is produced in-house. The factory is certified by Kosher Miami and offers parve and vegan options, which makes it a regular stop for families who keep kosher and want Halloween or Sukkot treats they can serve without worry.

Most of the business is gifting: birthday and office baskets, shiva trays, logo chocolates for companies and custom chocolate molds. That background shows in the shop. Instead of bins of wrapped mass-market candy, you find boxed truffles, hand-dipped fruit and cellophane-wrapped baskets ready to carry out. It is the place to go when a Halloween party host deserves something better than a supermarket bag.

The factory sits in an ordinary low-rise stretch of North Miami Beach rather than a tourist strip, and that is part of the appeal. Regulars come in for one box of truffles and leave with a basket for someone else, and the staff will talk through what is fresh that day. Ask what came off the dipping line that morning; in October the answer is usually apples, pretzels or Oreos.

Candy apples are the most Halloween item the factory makes. A single caramel chocolate apple costs $14 on the shop's website, and a six-pack of classic red candy apples is $72, a good centerpiece for a costume party or a classroom treat table. Six chocolate-dipped apple sticks are $18, which is the easier option for small hands and for guests who do not want to bite into a whole apple.

For a mixed party tray, the chocolate-dipped Oreos and chocolate-dipped pretzels come in six-packs at $18 each, and the pretzel and Oreo trays start at $39. The barks are another strong pick for adults: Chocolate Krisp, Sea Salt Hazelnut, Pebble and Cinnamon Toast Crunch barks are $36 each, and a Bark Sampler Tray is $69. Break bark into shards and it looks right at home in a black Halloween bowl.

If the party is for adults, skip the gummies and go for the truffles. The Signature Truffle Collection Variety Pack is $39, and Truffles by the Pound are $36, which lets you choose a box size for a dinner host or a neighbor who always hands out the best candy on the street. The factory also makes Dubai chocolate, the pistachio and kataifi bar that went viral, alongside its truffles.

Chocolate strawberries are $24.50 and are dipped to order, a good way to add color to a dessert table. The factory also makes chocolate greeting cards at $8, solid chocolate shaped like a card with a message, which work as a small thank-you for a party host. For the November holiday right after Halloween, the shop already lists a Thanksgiving pretzel and Oreo tray for $39 and a six-pack of Thanksgiving chocolate lollipops for $39.

Store hours are Monday to Thursday 10am to 6pm and Friday 10am to 5pm. On Sunday the shop is open for deliveries, but the factory is closed, and Saturday is not on the schedule, so plan around a weekday visit. Halloween 2026 falls on a Saturday, which means Friday, October 30 is the last full shopping day before the party, and it closes an hour earlier than the rest of the week.

Same-day delivery covers Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties if you call or email before 2pm Eastern, and in-store pickup is free when scheduled in advance. If you want several candy apples or a large tray, order a day or two ahead rather than hoping the shelves are full on the Friday before Halloween. Delivery questions go by text only and require an order number.

The shop says it is about five minutes from Aventura Mall, which is the obvious next stop for a costume accessory, a movie or a meal. Biscayne Boulevard runs close by with plenty of places to eat, so a chocolate pickup combines easily with lunch, and the Ojus neighborhood around West Dixie Highway has small bakeries and cafes worth a look.

For a quieter afternoon, Greynolds Park in North Miami Beach has shady trails, a lagoon and an old coral rock lookout mound that is fun to climb with kids. Oleta River State Park, a short drive east, offers mangrove paddling and mountain bike trails if you want to work off a candy apple before Halloween night. Both parks make the trip feel like an outing, not an errand.

The Sweet Tooth, at 18435 NE 19th Ave, North Miami Beach, FL 33179, is open Monday to Thursday from 10am to 6pm and Friday from 10am to 5pm. Sunday is for deliveries only, with the factory closed. There is free parking directly in front of the store, which makes a quick pickup simple.

All prices above come from The Sweet Tooth's online shop, and the same items can be picked up at the store. Keep chocolate out of a hot car, since an October afternoon in Miami still runs warm; the cello wrapping helps but will not stop melting.
