The Fudge Kitchen

«Would you like to try a sample of our creamy fudge? We have vanilla nut and chocolate nut. We have a special today: buy two pounds of our creamy fudge and take home a box of our saltwater taffy… it’s a little bit over, is that okay… here is a coupon for next time…» These are some of the refrains you will hear at all of the Fudge Kitchen locations. They are as consistent with their products as they are with their employee training. This is the best place on the boardwalk for fudge, taffy, and candy.

GLUTEN FREE !!! Well most of the favors are GF an even have some sugar free selections in the back of the store.
Thats said, I have been coming to the Jersey shore all my life an no matter where we are staying we always make a stop at the Fudge Kitchen, why you ask, I have never have a bad experience there ever, the staff are polite an wonderful, and the fudge is just Delicious !! You will not be disappointed.
Obviously GF fellow peeps, do a little research as to what you can an cant have, its well worth it trust me.
If your thinking about buying more fudge to take home, make a purchase an they give you a coupon for a $ 1.00 each pound of fudge you buy next time, something I will deff use for bringing fudge home for friends and family.

This is my place for fudge in Ocean City, NJ! I will say Shriver’s shop is bigger, and the taffy machines are amazing to watch, but if it’s fudge or molasses pops, it’s the fudge kitchen for me everytime!
I love going back year after year and hearing the same thing from the seasonal employees… Today we have a special, if you buy 2 lbs of our creamy fudge you get a free box of salt water taffy… They seem to have this special every day, every year! Its only an 8oz box of taffy, but it’s free!
Fudge is about 11 dollars a pound right now… but do yourself a favor and stop in and ask them for a coupon, or buy something cheap if you must to get the coupon… the coupon is good for 1 $ off per pound of fudge…
They have a lovely variety of flavors available, including some seasonal flavors and even make the fudge in the front of the store, right in the window. You can ask for a sample and they are happy to provide!
This store is a bit «small» compared to Shriver’s…a couple baby carriages and a family or 2 with kids and this place is packed! They have plenty of employees tho (Hi Grandma Joan!) and work thru the lines quickly.
Earlier this year I sampled every Molasses pop on the boardwalk… Shocked to find out some of them are actually made in Philly and shipped to NJ! I will check my wrapper and let you know where the Fudge Kitchen’s came from… But did want to point out that the Molasses pops at the Fudge Kitchen cost about 2 times as much as other pops on the boardwalk… they also weigh about twice as much, so well worth the price.
Don’t forget your coupon before you load up on the way out of OCNJ! Bring a cooler with some ice packs if you plan on leaving it in a HOT car for a couple hours!
Note: Fudge Kitchen wrapper has no info on it, making me think they made them in store… I’ll find out next week when I’m back! Other stores come in a wrapper with text and in small print on the back you can see they came from a chocolate shop in Philadelphia.

3 stars for now, the smell is awesome, but the flavor selection was small. I love watching them make the fudge in the windows. Hope to get to taste them next time, but this time I was on a hunt for peanut butter Reese cup fudge.

Outside of the little worms we found in the Black Forest fudge, it wasn’t so bad. Given the other reviews, I think it’s safe to say this was an unfortunate incidence with the batch.

Truth be told I’ve never really had bad fudge. However, Fudge Kitchen’s fudge is superior to all other places on the boardwalk. It’s so fresh and creamy and they offer a ton of flavors and seasonal flavors too! The best part by far is the fact that they’ll allow you to sample their Chocolate and Vanilla Nut fudge for free!
My favorite flavors are the Rocky Road and the Snickers Peanut Butter. Their prices are typical for the boardwalk but they always give you a coupon for $ 1 off your next visit. Make sure you buy 2 lbs because 1lb of fudge will likely be consumed on the car ride home…

The Fudge Kitchen is an Ocean City (and South Jersey, generally) institution. It is practically a natural reflex to walk over and grab a sample of chocolate or vanilla fudge during the summer. So many quality flavors, extremely courteous and helpful staff, and they love throwing you coupons. Fudge is made on-​site at this family-​owned and operated business, and like others attest, one taste and you’ll fall in love with this classic fudge and candy shop. Mint chocolate chip and Pumpkin (available in autumn) are my two favorites. Another benefit, the store is open 365 days a year, so if you happen to be in town in the dead winter of January or February, stop by for a tasty treat.

There are lots of places to buy fudge on the Boardwalk, but trust someone who goes to OC all the time… accept no imitations and buy your fudge from «The Fudge Kitchen.» It’s the only place with copper kettles in the window. Sometimes you can watch them make it in the window. They are almost always giving out free samples. One taste and you will see why any other fudge is a waste of time. The fudge is totally creamy without any graininess at all (lots of pure cream!) Other traditional favorites are molasses paddles, taffies, marzipan, chocolate covered strawberries, pectin squares, chocolates and more!
I will never, EVER buy fudge anywhere else. Even in winter, when the urge for fudge strikes, I drive down the shore to the Fudge kitchen to get my fix. Once you’ve had the fudge Kitchen’s Fudge, you’ll realize that previously, you were just eating crap-​fudge. Their fudge is DELISHEEEEEEEEE!!!
