Candy World is a popular candy shop located on Monterey’s Fisherman's Wharf, offering a wide variety of over 200 types of candy and sweets. Visitors praise the store for its extensive selection, including salt water taffy, Karamel Korn, chocolate-covered treats like Twinkies and rice crispies, and unique flavors such as pickle, coconut curry, butter, and dirty soda. The store is well-organized, clean, and features beautifully packaged products, making it an ideal place for gifts or personal treats.
The highlight for many is the fudge, which is described as super soft with a rich chocolate flavor and a variety of options like German chocolate cake, cookies and cream, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate. Customers recommend the fudge highly, noting its delicious taste and the ability to choose multiple flavors, although they mention the sign’s clarification about the minimum weight per flavor can be confusing. Other popular items include homemade chocolates, caramel apples, popcorn, and soft drinks.
While the store offers many treats at reasonable prices, some items are considered overpriced, especially the homemade chocolates and caramel apples. Parking can be limited, with paid garage parking available nearby. Overall, Candy World is praised as a delightful place to indulge in sweets, with friendly staff and a fun, diverse selection that appeals to all ages.
Awesome candy store right where you enter the wharf. Huge selection of salt water taffy, looked to be around 40 different flavors, chocolates, Jelly Bellies, pop rocks, old nostalgic candies and caramel apples. The salt water taffy was really soft and had perfect flavors.
