Difference between Goofy's Candy Co. and Disney's Candy Cauldron?

[mulanrouge]

For those of you familiar with Downtown Disney, what are the differences in Goofy's Candy Co. and Disney's Candy Cauldron? Which is better? Where are each of them located?

The candy cauldron sells mostly chocolates, fudge and candy/caramel apples with some small candy bars, skittles etc.
Goofys candy store is a huge store with a gazillion kinds of candy. They have loose candy like in the candy stores in the mall that you can buy by the pound, 1/2 lbs etc. They have the big pixie stick straws you can fill up with all the diff colored sugar and they have a special area in the middle where you can make/design your own special candy. Well YOU dont actually make it but you make/pick your own concoction and they make it for you. Its really cool but very expensive. Hope that helps.

We loved Candy Cauldron especially the chocolate covered strawberries. But we had fun in the Goofy shop too(they seem to have the same treats but you can design your own goodies, pretzel sticks etc). Candy Cauldron is on the West side not as far down as Disney Quest. Goofy's is on the east side not as far down a Rain Forest Cafe. Both are fine, we were mostly just browsing and shopping and were glad not to have to walk all the way to Candy Cauldron, since we were mostly shopping east side of Pleasure Island.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Goofy's Candy store. It is amazing - something you just need to experience! The store is cute as can be - in perfect Disney style, and the candy is out of this world! Of course, the fact that they have free samples... (as does Ghirardelli's BTW)... Goofy's is in the Marketplace. If I remember correctly Candy Cauldron is in Westside (don't usually go there, so please don't quote me...)
