    Almond chocolates
    Jeannie C.

    Really great variety of chocolates and candy. We walked by, and the sweet smell lured us in. We purchased almond chocolates, which were really good along with nonpareils that were excellent. Some salt water taffy added a sweet twist to my palette. Although we enjoyed the chocolates and taffy, we couldn't ge over the price. We paid $13.95 for 1/2 pound of chocolate. Even though we had a sweet time, we sure did pay the price.

    Really nice fudge shop, with loads of other sweet goodies. In the back they serve Edy's ice cream, a little unusual, as there are several other local ice cream joints, which -- just like this shop -- were packed on a June Sunday. They're efficient and move the line quickly. The fudge was delicious!

    What an adorable little shop full of delectable treasures. Friends who grew up coming to this store brought us here. So much candy! So much fudge! There's even plenty of sugar free options! I walked out with some treasures. Please know that this store is extremely small and most likely crowded. So if you don't like small places and/or lots of people, this may not be the place for you.

    Coming to places like the Fudge Shoppe instantly bring you back to those childhood memories where you are down the shore and absolutely have to indulge in a piece of sweet, decadent fudge. Fudge is being prepared around the clock, is fresh, and stacks in mounds. There are all sorts of flavors ranging from vanillas, nuts, and classic options and the staff is super friendly and have that old school vintage candy shoppe demeanor. While you may think a couple of pounds of fudge will set you back, the prices were surprisingly cheap and there were a lot of offers where if you bought a certain amount you were gifted with some complementary gifts. They also have salt water taffy and other candies for those looking to bring home some souvenirs.

    This is a candy store with a few locations along the Jersey Shore. Despite the name, they offer much more than fudge. They have gummy candies, pretzels, small chocolate bites (ie Godiva style), salt water taffy, and even sugar free candy. However, the hand made fudge is what they are known for. I had a variety box with several flavors. They actually have over 15 different flavors, with vanilla and chocolate serving as the base fudge for most of the flavors. Some of the more interesting flavors (more like fillings) are cookies n cream, pistachio, coconut, Snickers, and rocky road. My favorites of the ones I had were the chocolate chip, pistachio and the peanut butter. I felt that these were easily the tastiest and best combinations. The base fudge itself I was not a big fan of, as some of the pieces I ate had an old taste to them. It was the ones with fillings or add ins that made the taste stand out.

    I have no f*cking clue what in the world I was doing at Original Fudge. But sh*t got a bit primal while I was here....so please, bear with me. Aside from all the seafood you see left and right in Cape May, they also have lots of Sweets but most of all- Fudge! And that's where I come in. Located right in the Washington Street Mall, Original Fudge Kitchen has a bit of an old-timey feel. Place is kind of small but these guys have a good handle on their merchandise. Different types of Fudge behind their glass window, followed by trays of Turtle candies, Cookies, etc. Next with a variety of nuts, Gummy candies, plus other items. Everywhere else you looked, there was more stuff. Loved the sweet smell the second I walked in and can't beat Original's thick slabs of Fudge. My Mom likes the jelly fruit slices- so got her 1/4lb. Also got Dark Chocolate Almond Bark, Mixed Nuts, Chocolate covered Pretzels (that were actually fresh and crunchy) and the shining star of them all......Fudge. I brought home 4 kinds in Salt Caramel, Cookies & Cream, Plain Chocolate and the the best out of all of them- Chocolate Fudge with Dark Chocolate Chips- which was insane and wished I brought a few more blocks! It's a tourist spot and prices are a bit off the scale- but I almost expected them to be- since it's located in Cape May. Service was good. Mumsy's Gummies were boxed and each of my items were individually bagged- without me requesting them to be. I'm sure these folks pride themselves in their "original" recipes, but out of all the Fudge I bought, the Dark Chocolate with Chocolate Chips ruled. All others, had a hint of what they're supposed to be- and that's it. But Original Fudge Kitchen, was good for a last minute visit.

    The last stop in Cape May we did and it was a sweet one ! I felt like a kid going into this store! I love fudge ! They had sooo many varieties but I had to limit myself. I posted a reel showing you 2 of the flavors we chose. We actually choose 4 original chocolate fudge, peanut butter, chocolate marshmallow and vanilla fudge. I'm still trying to get the hang of doing reels so I couldn't fit all 4 flavors. The owners were super nice, I asked them how long the process too from start to finish and amazingly he said only 24 hrs. I also got salt water taffy ! They gave me a coupon that doesn't expire which I'll be definitely using on my next visit! It wasn't until after we left a local had started a conversation w us about places to try and she had recommended this store's ice cream!!! Til next time! #tastebudadventures #sweetsarelife #fudgeislife #sogoodsolight #sorich #chocolate #peanutbutter #vanilla #chocolatemarshmallow

Located…read moreright in the center of town with all the shops is this incredible peanut oasis with all sorts of different flavored peanut butters, (That you can taste), along with so many other incredible goodies like cookies and scones, peanut butter treats, sandwiches, candies, all sorts of flavored nuts, oils, spices, jams and jellies and so much more. Amy was helping us make our selections and she was super helpful and fun! I wound up with some Sour Cherry Jelly & Thai Peanut Sauce/Dip. My husband is the peanut butter maven and he took home 2 of his favorite 32 oz jars of honey roasted peanut butter. They won't last too long for sure. They have another location in Smithville and you can also order via their website. And if you go this time of year, you can beat the crowds and enjoy the story even more! The store is filled with so many amazing creations. I can't wait to go back again soon.

They send flat rate by the amount of your order and tell you that it should take approximately 9 days total to arrive. Mine came in 5 and I'm in Florida! I ordered my Butterscotch peanut butter, capucino too. If you are a nut butter fanatic you must try their nut butters. The butterscotch may sound a bit off but I reassure you it's not too sweet at all and not entirely smooth. There is texture in these butters and you can tell that they have not been sitting around for too long and you will know when you look on the bottom of the jar it tells you when it was made! I promise you cannot go wrong. I ordered a few peanut butter cups as well and everything went fabulous! Considering I had 6 jars and 6 peanut butter cups each item was packaged perfectly and delivered on time and wrapped with such care I'm very pleased. If you are in the area the store is fun too! If not don't be afraid to order and they have so much not only peanut butter you must explore their options! Pickles, peanuts, treats from the bakery, spices, oils, dog treats, and so much more! If you go there is ice cream too !!!! Yummmmm!

    Wonderful smells will draw you in for this lovely fudge making store in the heart of Cape May…read moredowntown. While visiting for Thanksgiving weekend , we stumbled into this store while watching from the windows as they made fresh, fragrant fudge. I have always loved fudge as a kid although have not eaten it recently. Usually it is saved for the holidays and always as a special treat for Christmas. Fudge originated in the US back in the 19th century with accounts as early as 1880. It became popular due to the decreasing prices of refined white sugar and ease of making at home. Now, they have delicious types of fudge and even salt water taffy in this brick and mortar,

They have five locations in the area with two in the Wildwood's. This particular store has a great variety of fudges and you can shop online at www.fudgekitchens.com and they have a toll free number as well at 1-800-23-FUDGE. The fudge is "whipped creamy" and they have been in business since 1972. The product is excellent and I purchased a pound for about $10 and a trip to this area is not complete without a stop in for some Jersey shore fudge. RECOMMEND!
