Sweet Tooth Smackdown 2025: Platter’s Ultimate Candy Bracket Challenge!
Have you heard of March Madness? The college men’s basketball tournament that determines the national champion of Division 1 NCAA basketball. This single-elimination tournament typically runs during March, creating an exciting competition for both dedicated fans and those who only tune in for the madness.
Well, here at Platter’s Chocolate Factory, we’re bringing our own twist to the bracket frenzy! For the second year in a row, we’re thrilled to introduce… (drum roll please) … Sweet Tooth Smackdown 2025!
At Platter’s Chocolate Factory, we offer an incredible variety of treats—over 3,000 items, each with its own delicious flavors and variations. People often ask, “What’s your favorite?” or “Do you ever get sick of chocolate working in a candy store?” The answer? My favorite changes with the seasons, and no, I never get tired of chocolate! There’s always something new to enjoy.
But this isn’t about what I like—it’s about what YOU like! That’s why we’re bringing back Sweet Tooth Smackdown! Here’s how it works:
-
We’ve selected 16 of our fan-favorite treats and created a bracket for you to predict which candy will be crowned champion. You can print your bracket here.
-
All brackets must be filled out and received in-store at Platter’s Chocolate Factory or emailed to cs@platterschocolate.com no later than February 28, 2025, at 11:59 PM.
-
Voting will take place on our Facebook and Instagram polls, where candies will go head-to-head each day. Find us and vote here:

-
Round 1: March 1 - March 8
-
Round 2: March 10 - March 13

The winner will be determined by the most accurate bracket predictions. If multiple people have perfect brackets, their names will go into a random drawing, and one grand prize winner will be crowned Sweet Tooth Smackdown Champion 2025!
