The Best Candy Shops at the Jersey Shore You Need to Try
One of the first things you do when you hit any boardwalk down the shore is stop by a candy store for some sweet treats.
And if you don't, you have much more willpower than I do.
While pizza is usually one of the first things people think of when it comes to food at the beach, the history of candy between Atlantic City and Cape May is pretty amazing.
Names like Shriver, James, Fralinger, and Steel have become just as synonymous with the Jersey Shore as Prep's and Manco & Manco in Ocean City or Sam's in Wildwood.
After all, picking up some saltwater taffy, fudge, or macaroons is the perfect way to top off a day in the sun. And if those aren't your favorites, don't worry -- somewhere inside, you're bound to find a pound of something that you'll enjoy.
But where exactly should you go? Well, our dedicated team of researchers (me) assembled a list of the best sweet spots at the shore.
And if candy isn't your thing, perhaps we can tempt you with something much colder. Keep scrolling for our list of 30 amazing South Jersey ice cream/custard stands.
