If Willy Wonka were real, he would've offered a candy subscription box full of the most fantastical, wondrous sweets you can imagine. Unfortunately, he's not real, but these candy subscription boxes come in a close second. They may not be wrapped in gold foil or turn you into a giant human blueberry, but they are full of different types of candy that are just as delicious.

Some specialize in one kind, while others include a wide variety. There are even a few that focus on international treats. We also looked at reviews to find the best candy subscription boxes available that will satisfy any sweet tooth.
