The Original Fudge Kitchen is considered the best fudge on the boardwalk, with many calling it the best money can buy and the gold standard. Reviewers describe it as the richest, creamiest, melt in your mouth fudge, with superior texture and flavor that others do not compare to. Favorites include maple walnut, pistachio, and vanilla cherry. It is a great place for various confections and handmade candies, like Irish Potatoes and Macaroons, which are a special treat and tradition. It is fun to watch them make the fudge in the front window of the shop from the boardwalk. The staff is very pleasant and helpful. Note that it is the complete opposite of health food, but so worth it. Some mention missing the free samples and one reviewer was disappointed to find the shop closed before its posted hours.

Walked in and was immediately greeted by the counter girl. She provided my husband and I with great service! The fudge is SO good. They have many options of homemade candies, salt water taffy, and fudge. This is my favorite candy store on the boardwalk.

I spent almost $200 last summer at Fudge Kitchen. It’s a must every summer. Our whole family loves it. I even take it to Florida for friends! Just so yummy!
