I guess really my only complaint is I was a bit shocked at the pricing. My hubby and I did go the mix and match route for the chocolates, but even that was close to $15 in a small carton. Thankfully the chocolate was all delicious, so I want to say it was mostly worth it.

I've been a lifelong jersey resident and I cannot believe I didn't know about this place. But of course once I mentioned it to my parents they were like "oh yeah, we know Damask ! They're delicious!" If I remember correctly, the nice girl at the counter was telling me they've actually been there since 1950. It's completely family owned, homemade candies. And let me tell you this chocolate is absolutely delicious! And so nice of them to offer samples at the counter. I've never had a sea salt caramel that tasted so good. And the chocolate covered pretzels are to die for. My mom absolutely loves the buttercream, and my dad is a toffee fan. But you cannot go wrong with their signature "Candy" which is actually oyster crackers dipped in chocolate. You absolutely have to try this place if you pass it. They are only open from October to Easter so get there while you can! I wish I remembered to take pictures, but we ate the candy too fast lol. Next time!

They had so much candy or all different finds from truffles and prepackaged chocolate covered pretzels, to hand dipped chocolate covered peanut clusters and vintage candy like razzles and sodapip! A perfect place to purchase a nice, small gift from or to stop by after grocery shopping for some treats. Their space is small and a bit overcrowded, but they have so many options! They are expensive, even compared to other fresh chocolate places in Middletown, but the staff was so kind and knowledgeable and sweet, I felt great supporting them!

If you're looking for something in particular they probably have it :)

It's been several years since I've been, so I thought I'd give it a try again. I'm sorry I did…read more First, I believe that the ice cream shop being included in the candy shop on here, is confusing. They are two separate buildings and have different hours. If the ice cream shop hours were also listed, it would be fine. Most of the young girls at the counter aren't very personable. There was a girl that was darker, maybe Hispanic or Hawaiian, and she was very nice. She helped me at the end because my sundae was melting onto the counter. Tonight I got a brownie sundae for $8.75. As always, there were only two flavors with a chocolate base. The one was just chocolate, and the other was almost identical-chocolate with two additional ingredients. Not enough. The girls NEVER-EVER put enough of the toppings on! Frustrating! Also, I told the one that waited on me that I wanted nuts, and she hadn't put them on. Glad I noticed! I FINALLY found out tonight that you can have as many of the toppings you'd like on the brownie sundae. You're not charged for extras-even extra hot fudge, etc. The containers the brownies are in are what the sundaes are put in. They're too small!! I asked for extra hot fudge, and that had to be put in a separate cup. Glad I did because she barely had any on the sundae. I went outside to eat my sundae because everything was dripping out of the container. As I was finishing up, a mouse ran right by me and stayed on the patio. I know I was outside, but feel that the tables could be wiped more frequently. They close at 8 pm, and I left about 8:15. The trash hadn't been emptied yet. When I got to my car a few minutes later, the outside lights were turned off. I hope that they emptied the trash. When I've gone there, I always wonder if decent ice cream is worth it. I'm not sure... PS - I "Edited" the post because I hadn't pasted everything from where I initially wrote it.

The end of block looks like city blight, hope some new businesses locate here across from the Penn Station walk up area. The chocolate is not inexpensive and quite small for the price/value.

The $1.50 for the marshmallow is worth it, although maybe not if also doing whip cream. Do check to make sure you get charged correctly.
