I have been shopping at Candy and Corks for years. They have an amazing selection of taffy, jelly bellies, vintage candies, fudge and chocolates. Taffy is often sold prepackaged but here you get to choose from a wide variety of flavors like birthday cake, licorice, lemonade, vanilla and even dill pickle which my grandson loved. There is always something new to try. The are Swedish candies are different and delicious. Some are vegan. The chocolate covered gummy bears are yum! There is a selection of different flavors of nuts that are very good and make great gifts. The gourmet chocolates look and taste wonderful! Kate, the owner, is very nice and helpful. Your candy is packaged nicely in a bag with a sticker. The store is attractive and nicely merchandised. I don't think you'll find a better candy store. Pam read more

Quirky little candy store with really good saltwater taffy that we stop and get every time we are in Duck. There are a few really good chocolates, but I found the selection to be a little limited and pricey for the quality. Be careful with the little ones as there is lots of opportunity for them to knock things over. read more

Good options and cool concept. However, lady at the counter could use some coaching on customer service. She really doesn't like her job.

Lady running the check out today became confrontational and rudely accused us of showrooming as we exited the shop. Must have been because we didn't buy anything. It was shocking and made the other members of our party intensely uncomfortable. We will not be returning during future visits to Duck. read more

This place had a nice selection of candy and some soda that is hard to find, but the stuff was kind of overpriced. The people working here were very nice. read more

Absolutely the worse experience in all of OBX. Ever! The storekeeper profiled and searched my 14-year-old daughter without cause, cops, or parental consent. When my husband came back to the store to ask what had happened, he was not greeted with an apology (that was due) but told that they had been in business for 23 years and did not need our business and that my white, blonde teenager fit the profile. WHAT in the world is this place, who are these people out of touch with customer service? If you spend money on vacation and wish to support a local business, don't waste your time here. They simply do not need your money and have not respect for humans at all. read more

Our Family was determined to find a candy store where we could make a custom bag of saltwater taffy and this store did NOT disappoint! We found this store very inviting and friendly :) Thank you! read more

This place was adorable!! Yummy candy, glass sodas, wine & more! Their chocolate covered graham crackers with Reese's pieces & peppermint patty's are out of this world and worth the price! They are taking Covid-19 seriously, with their front desk person wearing a mask & sanitizer at the front door read more

We stumbled across this cute little shop when walking off our lunch from Blue Point. I didn't look much at their wine selection, but I fell in love with their variety of fun, quirky, and old fashioned candies. They have the usual chocolates and fudge, but I really enjoyed the different licorices we got, along with the roll of Haribo gummy discs (it's like a gummy bear in coin shape. who knew?). They also carry a personal favorite of mine: chocolate coconut patties that I previously was only able to find in Florida. I had a caramel covered marshmallow (one of the pre-fab, pre-wrapped ones out in the store, not one from behind the case), and it was a bit dry and lackluster. Everything else was fine, though. The guy in the shop was super friendly, and shockingly did not seem angry to have tourists in his store, giving him money in exchange for edibles. The verdict: Stop in and see if you can find your favorite hard-to-find candy. read more

This place is lovely. When I worked at the Waterfront Shops I went to Candy & Corks every day for some candy or fudge! Their chocolate covered pretzels and peanut butter cups are delicious, and they have lots of harder to find candy! The employees are super friendly and helpful! I think I spent a solid 5-10% of my paycheck there read more

The fudge here is delicious and fresh. They had chocolate peanut butter, banana foster, chocolate cheesecake, chocolate coconut, salted caramel and a couple other flavors. My favorite flavor was the salted caramel. I prefer the fudge here over the Fudgery by a long shot. read more

Took grandkids in for candy the help is not kid friendly very rude to all the customers

This candy and wine shop definitely has the best views ever, at the Waterfront Shops at Duck which are a constant staple when we go to the OBX (we always go multiple times at the request of our kids). They have a good selection of old-school candy, prices are high but the tourist markup is to be expected, so no big deal. I was kind of annoyed because we showed up today when the door sign said it opened (10, which it also says here), but it didn't open until an hour later (we only waited a half an hour before going to another candy store over by Duck Donuts which was very similar), but our other family members waited an entire hour...ugh. read more

Very unpleasant experience with the salesperson, my friend made a comment about the wine I said I didn't purchase wine unless I could sample it. The sales lady then commented did I have to taste everything before I bought it? Did I walk into the grocery store and say I'm not buying that because I can't taste it? Then I said about the time I bought it without tasting it it would taste like poo. She said not mine. I said I could guarantee it would. Then as I'm standing there , mouth open in disbelief she begins to holler about it being 5 o'clock and slamming around a huge sign from outside and then about ran us down trying to lock the doors. My friend is traumatized. I will never go back and she lost 2 sales. read more

This is a little shop across from duck donuts on the boardwalk. The candy is all overpriced the fudge was ok, the truffles were not great either but looked pretty. The kids all bought sugar sticks that were terrible so we paid 16 for three sugar sticks that were immediately thrown away. The service was just ok but the variety of peanuts were good, probably our favorites purchase at this shop. I don't mind spending over 40.00 on candy but I prefer that my kids actually like what they buy and out of everything we purchased only 1 thing was actually enjoyed....the peanuts which is ironic since it's a candy store. read more

Best candy place in the world! Tons of candy and good prices. The salespeople have been nice every time I have come, being over 30 times. Please go and get candy and the very good peanuts they have. read more
