cure your sweet tooth . i can appreciate real fudge , if you do too . . . then this is the place to go when in o . c . they have 3 locations 1 st and division , the outlets mall on rt . 50 before coming into ocean city and this one on 9th and boardwalk . come see shirley , she is as sweet as the treats in the store . they also have chocolates , all kinds of caramel , chocolate , red with or without toppings of huge apples on a stick . also selection of chocolates . side note : they also sell non - edible ocean themed items and cat and dog lovers section . the fudge is so smooth and melts in your mouth . just to name a few that i bought cookies and creme rocky road fudge turtle fudge with walnuts death by chocolate ( mmm ) from what i recall they had vanilla , peanut butter combos and other varieties ( note the outlet does not have as much selection , but the quality is the same ) . you can buy quarter pound , half pound ( $ 6 . 99 ) or one pound ( $ 12 . 99 ) . special buy 2 lbs . get 1 lb . free ! you can get a variety of a row ( which is 5 pieces ) 20 pieces in a pound . next time i will add pictures . sorry . happy sweet tooth eats !
we ' ve had the fudge from this candy shop in the past and it was pretty good . however , last week we purchased 3 pounds of fudge and all of it was old and stale . it tasted terrible . i guess because it was not high season yet they weren ' t selling much and just left the stuff on the shelf instead of getting rid of it and making new product . definitely taste before you buy .
best candy on the boardwalk , or in the state of maryland for that matter . try their delicious chocolate - covered strawberries , made fresh each day . and their caramel apples are amazing . the
apple pie
variety is covered with white chocolate , dusted with cinnamon and tastes just like a real apple pie !
the chocolate covered marzipan is the best . love this stuff . only candy shop i know that makes this . delicious !
terrific candy ! we have come here a few times over the years and the candy is just great . the pistachio marzipan is delicious , the caramel marshmallows are great , the chocolates are great and the fudge is delicious . blows candy kitchen right out of the water ! !
we got a caramel apple there while on vacation . it was extra $ $ to have it rolled in nuts , which is fine . but $ 9 for an apple is a bit high . still , it was delicious and we enjoyed every bite .
i hate fudge , i mean i really , really hate fudge . its always grainy , overly sweet , makes your saliva thick and burns your throat when you eat it . my wife bought a 1 / 4 pound of peanut butter fudge and i accidentally ate some thinking it was a caramel . this places fudge is unbelievable ! ! ! not overly sweet , great flavor and soooo creamy it was an eyeopener to fudge . went back next day and bought 3 # of this stuff in 6 different flavors . you have to try this places fudge . its freaky good .

while many associate halloween with candy , it ' s a tiny holiday for the company compared with christmas and easter . for easter , the candy maker creates 15 types of easter eggs in four sizes and 40 varieties of shell - molded rabbits . still , it does make milk chocolate pumpkin pops and pumpkin truffles to offer alongside candy corn in its stores .
the retailer runs five baltimore - area stores plus three in ocean city , and it plans to open a ninth store in towson town center by thanksgiving . and it ' s expanding its wholesale business , with candy sold in the baltimore area in graul ' s , weis markets and wegmans supermarkets .
until about 11 : 30 a . m . , the deli line at attman ' s makes sense .
no one takes a number , and no one tells you where to stand . but for decades , customers have formed a line flush against the deli counter from the front of the store to the back , past the cases with smoked fish , past the shelves of pickled . . .
our industry is comprised of hundreds of small , family - owned businesses that pass on candy - making expertise from generation to generation ,
said christopher gindlesperger , a spokesman for the confectioners association .
on a recent weekday , machinery hummed and sweet scents wafted through the plant ' s large open layout . workers wearing hair nets and white jackets dipped apples in caramel , then in chocolate , before rolling them in toppings such as nuts or crushed oreos .
several women maintained a steady rhythm placing sugar - dusted cherries onto tiny circles of chocolate that glided by on a conveyor belt . the machine , an
enrober ,
enveloped the cherries in dark or milk chocolate , and at the and of the line , two more women packed the cherry cordials into boxes .
the baltimore area has long attracted candy makers , decades ago because of the city ' s port access , but more recently too .
the fifth - generation family - owned goetze ' s candy co . has been making its cream - filled caramels since 1895 . rheb ' s candy in southwest baltimore , which runs a factory in a rowhouse basement near the store , has been family - run for three generations . and newer businesses have popped up such as mouth party at clipper mill , a retailer and wholesaler of caramels started in 2006 by entrepreneur b . g . purcell using a family recipe .
lacey hesse , spokeswoman for the retail confectioners international trade group , which represents candy makers who sell at their own stores , said independent candy businesses have had to compete by putting a premium on quality and customer service .
the group ' s members
appreciate the art of candy - making , while continuing to adapt to consumers ' demands ,
hesse said .
some of our members are still hand - dipping their chocolates , while others are using state - of - the - art machinery . many member stores take a step back in time , while other stores take a step into the future . regardless , their goal is the same : to give their customers something extra special .
longtime family - owned businesses often succeed , too , because they work hard to maintain strong relationships with their employees , said sean mcevoy , director of small business resources at the maryland department of commerce .
it ' s a testament to the management and quality of the product that they ' ve remained in business ,
he said .
the contribution to the state and city has been tremendous .
when they come into the stores , she said , customers appreciate the selection and the ability to pick and choose .
they love our candy ,
she said .
they come back year after year because it is so good .

just the sight of the pink box makes me want fudge . or chocolate . or anything sweet . i ' ve never had a bad thing from this place , have never headed for home without boxes of treats for friends .
we stopped for taffy and were pleased to find that we could fill a bag with out own assortment and amount . the quality was amazing ! i loved it so much that i counted it as my lunch one day ! it was amazing ! we wanted to . . .
delicious fudge , and we loved their caramel and chocolate coated apple with pecans . the fudge was a bit cheaper than candy kitchen so i would recommend trying here first .

. there is nothing quite like biting into that delicious taffy while sitting on the boardwalk and watching the waves crash against the sand .
consisting of two basic ingredients ( fat , typically in the form of butter , and sugar ) , taffy is a fairly simple candy to make , which is one of the reasons it has been around for centuries . the ingredients are boiled and then stretched . voila ! you have taffy . okay , so there might be a little more to it than that , but you get the idea . it is not a complex process .
now taffy comes in a wide variety of flavors , as we mentioned before . but one style of taffy reigns supreme over the rest : salt water taffy . the exact origins of this delicious treat are a hot topic for debate , but it is believed to have taken place in the 1880s at fralingers in atlantic city , new jersey .

we stopped for taffy and were pleased to find that we could fill a bag with out own assortment and amount . the quality was amazing ! i loved it so much that i counted it as my lunch one day ! it was amazing ! we wanted to try fudge but only wanted the dark chocolate with raspberry and they were out of it the night we wanted to try it but we ended up with dark chocolate raspberry cremes and dark chocolate orange slices . both were good but we wished we could try the fudge . awesome candy store ! way better than competitors on the boardwalk !
milk chocolate covered cherries and milk chocolate sea salt caramels are to die for . i love this quaint little stone house chocolate shop .
we went to the 5th annual tour of the factory , it was great fun ! wow ! free popcorn samples and a generous goody bag at the end ! as a baltimore resident for 16 years , i ' m embarrassed to say i ' ve never been to this store , but have had their chocolate many times . after this experience , i ' m planning on being a lifelong customer !
