Over in Johnson City, local candy shop Somethin' Sweet is taking on the 2024 Easter season, a holiday that marks the store's second busiest time of the year. 

The store offers 350 different candies, all handmade and no machines, to customers. Some of the fan favorites around Easter are the store's chocolate-covered Peeps, chocolate-dipped Oreos, and the holiday-staple chocolate-covered bunnies.   

Known for it's creative and funky flavors, the local store holds 63 different flavors, including cranberry pomegranate and pina colada.  

Currently, in her 16th year at the store, Owner Elizabeth Bachura says the store is always coming up with new ideas to offer customers something different each Easter. 

"For Easter, we started preparing right at Valentine's Day. So we kind of map out what we're going to be making and try and make new flavors just to offer something different for each season," Bachura said. "Every day is something different. Coming up with new flavors, talking to our customers and seeing what they would like to see us make. So they actually give me some good inspiration and great ideas."
