Restaurant Reviewer A Tootsie Roll costs 4 cents. So much for penny candy. Too much deep-frying. One major plus, econo prices.
Dieters stay away.
Seats 105, serving 6 a.m.-8 p.m. Welcome to Nutcracker Sweets, an alleged penny-candy store with a restaurant attached. Nutcracker Sweets offers what may be the last stab at penny candy, but true penny candy lives only in the minds of grandfathers. At least Nutcracker has good taste. As to the candy, gone are the 1930s prices, but an ancient display shelf offers an extensive inventory.
