There's usually one on every boardwalk cranking out fresh fudge, salt water taffy, and other tasty treats that you can't find anywhere else.

As a kid, going to Sea Isle City we'd always have to swing by James' Fudge on our way back from a day on the beach for a piece of candy for the walk home.

Of course, Shriver's Salt Water Taffy in Ocean City is also one of the most popular candy stores along the coast.

However, one of the best candy stores in the country is right here in Jersey, and believe it or not it's nowhere near the beach.

What's cool is that if you're not local to Jersey, this candy store ships all over the country so you can order online and have handmade candy shipped right to your door.
