I got a Banana cream soda because I could get a large for 5 bucks which I think is reasonable for a custom house made soda. BUT they fill the whole cup with ice so I only go like 4 gulps out of it. The vibes are different once you see something on the counter where the price is placed so you can see it until you pick it up and go " holy shit that's too much " but besides from the weird trans and feminine men they have, and the overpriced candy there are no black people because it's too expensive and not a good deal.

I went for simplicity and grabbed a prepackaged box. It was nicely wrapped and presented well, but some of the candy had a hint of staleness to it. It wasn't bad but gave me that "ehh" feeing. I'm sure it was a random thing. The staff guy was nice and I was overall pleased with the purchase. Next time I'll try some fresh stock and see if the review bumps up one or two stars.

This isn't your made in a factory candy. You can see the staff making the candy! Highly recommend. Side note: handmade fresh candy is on the pricier side but I swear it's worth it. Pick out a few pieces if a whole pound is not in your budget. Thats what I prefer to do! So many to choose from but my must haves are the following: Milk chocolate vanilla buttercream Milk chocolate maple cream Chocolate covered cherry Milk chocolate Chocolate cherry creams Toffee Hope you can make it in person... smells so good!

When I was younger, this shopping strip at the corner of Dan Jones Road and U.S. 36 was one of the…read morevery few strips around this area. Yes, that means I'm old. However, I was feeling a bit nostalgic during this past weekend's trip to Putnam County and decided to stop and really check this retail strip out. I spied The Fudge kettle and knew I had to stop. The Fudge Kettle was started in 2020 - what a time to start a new business, eh? Despite the challenges, it thrived in a different location before locating to this spot in 2023. This is a former Jack's Donuts and it reportedly offered The Fudge Kettle about twice the size of its previous spot along with a variety of other perks. In case the name isn't obvious, The Fudge Kettle specializes in candy, fudge, local crafts, and a variety of other products. Despite being an older strip center, accessibility is pretty strong here with ample parking and curb cuts. The double-sided glass doors are pretty manageable. I found the interior to be nicely designed. I'm a fan of fudge and definitely had to try the fudge while here. Absolutely a delight. You can also get chocolates, freeze-dried candies, and some national brands like Pez, Necco Wafers, Buns, Boston Baked Beans, Rock Candy, Candy Cigarettes (Yes, I'm old enough to also remember when candy cigarettes were considered cool), and more. Local crafts include candles, keychains, t-shirts, wreaths and more. I'm a huge candle fan and I definitely prefer supporting local. So, this is a great find. I will note that new owners took over - I believe in 2023. It seems like there's some shifting going on and the website indicates that new products are coming soon. However, I liked what I saw here and the employee I dealt with was friendly and helpful. I found the prices to be fair, the quality to be amazing, and this just feels like a really welcoming spot. This shopping strip is a little more off the road than most. You really have to look to see The Fudge Kettle, however, it's definitely worth looking for and making a quick stop. Will I return? Absolutely.

The ladies were very sweet (one of them was singing in the back room some soft sweet song and it was really quite beautiful). Service was fast in the bathroom was clean! I got a smoked turkey with colby and pickles on rye bread (don't judge) and there was plenty of everything on the sandwich. My pumpkin whoopie pie was amazing, as was my peach hand pie (they had several other) and the cheese bread. Definitely a good place to stop and get some good food and snacks.
