1130 Boardwalk Ocean City, NJ 08226


Overview

Harold Douglass opened the original shop on the Wildwood boardwalk in 1919, and the fourth generation now runs the family's Ocean City store at 11th and the Boardwalk on the same recipes. Fudge is still stirred slowly in copper kettles, saltwater taffy is pulled by hand, and the cases fill out with chocolate-covered pretzels, caramels and cremes, brittles and toffees, cream mints and vanilla butter creams, all packed in the tartan boxes the brand has used since the 1960s. Build-your-own boxes let you mix fudge and taffy in one- or two-pound sizes for the trip home, and orders over $100 ship free anywhere in the US.
