The employee (one of two) was miffed when I asked for a second bag for my son. Then we asked to get some jelly beans. Also not self serve.

The store itself is super cute (like everything else in smithville), and they have a great selection of chocolate and candy. One of the employees even gave me a sample of one of her favorite items. The two best items were the chocolate covered Oreos and the peanut butter smoothies. Probably the best chocolate I've had.

I also LOVE chocolate covered pretzels and nonpareils. When I saw the chocolate cornucopia, I was drooling and so tempted to buy it (pic doesn't do it justice!) If Thanksgiving hadn't already passed, I surely would have!!! Instead, I just got 4 chocolate covered sea salt pretzels. Absolutely DELICIOUS!!! I ran into old neighbors - right behind me in line! It was an added bonus :)

Of all the different candy stores on the boardwalk, Douglass Fudge is our favorite…read more The storefront is inconspicuous from the outside, but it is absolutely adorable on the inside. Decorated with the Scottish tartan pattern and featuring a black Scottish terrier as its mascot, the store is adorable, well decorated, clean, spacious, and welcoming. The staff are also very welcoming. They are always kind, respectful, and helpful. The person in the back will let you sample fudge before you buy...delicious! Their candies are all delicious, high quality, and reasonably priced. The fudge is very tasty with a wide variety of flavor options! Some of our favorite candies include the dark chocolate nonpareils, chocolate covered graham crackers, high-end chocolates, and butter taffy. Sugar high for days! If you haven't been to Douglass Fudge and candies, make sure you stop by today. You will not be disappointed!

9/26/2025 I visited Douglas fudge several times when I was in Stone Harbor for one week. As I…read morestated in my last review, I used to go to the fudge kitchen only. I really like Douglas better I like their caramel fudge and chocolate coconut fudge so much. I asked if there were any specials and I was told that if you bought 2 pounds of fudge, you would get 1 pound for free. I said "wow I couldn't eat all that! The lady behind the counter let me know that the fudge freezes well. Unfortunately, I let her know that when I froze the pumpkin fudge, it tasted awful when I took it out of the freezer. I wasn't sure if it was something up with the pumpkin purée and the lady asked me how I froze it and I told her I took the pie plate itself, unopened, and I put it in a Ziploc bag. She explained that that is the wrong way to freeze it that you really have to make sure to get all the air out and wrap it in pieces of wax paper and then put it in a ziplock in the freezer. She also stressed that fudge should not be refrigerated. I told her that the pumpkin fudge I had I was only pretending to eat it. I would take a little bit and then throw it in the trash, so my husband thought I was eating it so he wouldn't be upset about the money being wasted. I'm presuming the lady behind the counter was the owner, manager, or the proprietor? She asked the young girl to give me a pie plate of pumpkin fudge which was free of charge. That was for sure an r expected kindness I won't ever forget! That blew me away! I already spend money at Douglas, but this puts it head and shoulders above any other Fudge place at the shore for me- they just ensured my loyalty! I really thought that was an excellent business move, and it restored my confidence and I will likely buy fudge to freeze since now I know how to do it properly. I enjoy shopping in the store because it is so pretty how everything is spaced out and sorted and it's organized and clean. It's a great shopping experience. The girls behind the counter are friendly and I love going to Douglas fudge when I'm in stone harbor .

This place is disgusting. Both adults and kids stick their hands in the candy bins without gloves or scoops. I can't imagine the germs that are spreading. There is no one monitoring this at all, it's a free for all. Even the parents of the children are sticking their bare hands in. The place smells like cleaning detergent, but don't be mistaken, the candy is filled with germs.

My kids were so distracted by all the plushies and candy to the point they forgot the reason we made a stop to this store is to get lollipops. They even carry ice cream, truffles, fudge and bars.
