Steel’s Fudge

I purchased a large amount of fudge to give out during Father’s Day, but the girl put it in large containers and gave me cheap plastic bags to divide my gifts up later. I asked her if I could have the fudge placed in the smaller boxes that they had available (since I was giving away multiple gifts). She said «We don’t give extra boxes…» I offered her a $ 5 bill cash and she repeated, «We don’t give away boxes…» I proceeded to try and hand her a $ 20 bill cash for just one small box and she still would not sell me a box. I just don’t get it, I wanted to put the fudge for my father, husband and father-​in-​law in boxes, not cheap plastic bags. I should have just bought $ 20 in fudge, dumped it out onto the counter and walked away with the leftover box. Needless to say, I will not be back after this experience of incompetence. Other patrons were appalled at the cashier’s reaction, I just don’t understand this treatment. I have been going to Steel’s Fudge since I was a kid and refuse to go back until they hire employees that understand and properly comprehend the English language.

This is the best place for fudge, especially the chocolate. I rely on James Salt Water taffy if you are looking for that but nobody beats this place when it comes to fudge.

The most incredible fudge on the boardwalk! I love that it is cut fresh for each customer rather than the precut blocks from other stores. Molasses paddles are delicious and a great assortment of candy. I worked there as a teenager and am surprised by the person who complained about the handling of strawberries. It’s not easy to wash and dry each strawberry individually then hand dip it with gloves on. It also becomes a chocolate nightmare. I promise you they wash their hands repeatedly. I have always enjoyed Steel’s Fudge, definitely a boardwalk favorite!

The fudge here is fine but what I really come here for are the chocolate covered pretzels!
The chocolate coating is smooth and the ratio of chocolate to pretzel is perfection!
The prices are definitely steep like any other fudge shop on the boardwalk. $ 11 for 9 oz chocolate covered pretzels.

I was in store today. Employee was loading tray of chocolate covered strawberries with no gloves. I took photo on cell phone and I am attempting to contact ownership and/​or manager. Otherwise, great fudge!

I’ve always been a fan of Shrivers taffy. So, I tried this place. Got chocolates and taffy!
Shrivers still has better taffy. BUT these chocolates are AH-​MAZING!!! Especially the chocolate covered toffee squares :) mmmmmm! Maybe my favorite new treat in OC!

A typical boardwalk candy shop, although they appear to be fewer in number these days. There’s nothing like a piece of fudge, a carmallow, of some fruit slices while walking the boards. Steel’s is as good as any, although I seek salt water taffy elsewhere.

Wow, I am very proud to write the first review of Steel’s Fudge! Steel’s Fudge is hands-​down the best fudge you can get down the shore. Having sampled fudge at tourist destinations all over the eastern seaboard, I would actually say that Steel’s Fudge is the BEST FUDGE EVER.
The fudge tends to be a bit drier and more sugary than other fudges. Don’t let that dissuade you. This is some bangin’ fudge. I love the vanilla, pistachio, and maple. I am also a big fan of their coconut and occassionally I will get their chocolate peanut butter or rocky road. If only they made penuche. That would be perfect.
Once you get your hands on a box, don’t let it linger. Steel’s (and probably all fudges) should be eaten within a week.
Steel’s also has locations in Atlantic City. In addition to fudge they have many other candies, including peanut butter and molasses paddles, which my mom is a fan of.
