If you haven't had Johnson's Caramel Corn, you haven't really been to "The Boards" at Ocean City…read more We grabbed a small bag (and a tub to take home) of their caramel corn and it was exactly what you'd hope for. Rich, warm, perfectly coated, and had that homemade taste that sets it apart from anything store-bought. It's sweet without being cloying, crispy without being hard, and nostalgic without feeling dated. This is caramel corn that holds its legacy with pride. What makes it hit even harder? It's tradition. My mom remembers getting it when she came down to the Shore with my grandparents, and here we are, still making that same stop, now with our kids. There's something sacred about that kind of continuity. The stand itself is pure boardwalk. No frills, no gimmicks. Just a steady stream of locals, tourists, and generational snackers getting their fix. Multiple locations across the boardwalk means it's always accessible, and the staff keep the line moving fast, friendly, and efficient. You can tell they serve a lot of caramel corn every day, and every batch still feels fresh. Whether you're doing a food crawl or just strolling after dinner, this is a must-stop. A Jersey Shore legend, plain and simple. You gotta go!

As soon as you walk in, you are surrounded by the aromas of popcorn. There are many different and…read moreunique flavors here. You can buy small tubs, medium tubs, large tubs or various sizes of the bags. Some are pre-packaged while others are stored in the popcorn machines. I like that they let you combine 2 flavors without an additional charge. I purchased a large tub of caramel corn mixed with white cheddar. They filled my tub with caramel corn from a pretty-packaged tub and white cheddar form the popcorn machine. The popcorn was really good. It wasn't freshly hot but it was crispy on the outside and airy inside. The caramel wasn't overly sweet and didn't get very sticky on the hands. The cheddar flavor was mild but I prefer this than those places where your hands get a thick layer of goop just from eating the popcorn. I love the mixture of the 2 flavors. The sweet caramel balances out the salty cheddar really well. The downside is that that it's pretty pricey and there are no refill discounts like they offer at Johnson's popcorn in wildwood or ocean city. Johnson's price is definitely cheaper but I think the quality here is a little better. You don't get that greasy feeling or sticky goopy hands. We bought the large tub, about 24 oz for $21 with tax. It was all gone before our car ride was over!

On 4/25 when I opened the home box and bit into the first piece it was hard as though it was last seasons taffy left over through the winter. After an email to James McHugh at: sales@fudgekitchens.com, the employee in charge of returns I heard nothing. I called the Washington Ave, Cape May store and was assured that the store manager was busy and she would get back to me. On 4/29 I received an email from James saying he would send a box and would either refund my purchase or replace the taffy. 5/10 no box yet, sent an email - crickets. Here we are 5/15 still no box, James no longer responds to email's or PM's. Since James has decided to ignore me I guess I will write a letter to Karen Thompson the recent owner of the company and will start leaving reviews wherever I can.

Their homemade caramel is delicious and definitely makes all the difference.

I was intrigued by the slabs of whipped up light fudge. That was delicious! I loved the caramel vanilla sea salt. I tried the slab style fudge , the chocolate praline and my sample was dry without any caramel to speak of. The help is very friendly and the whipped old fashioned fudge is spectacular ! I would recommend that but I would personally stay away from the slabs of fudge although my son tried the jelly donut fudge slab style fudge and he loved it! The apples look unbelievable!!

If you have ever been on Wildwood's boardwalk, you'd know that there are tons of fudge shops and…read morethey are all having a special sale today! The sales clerks stand outside and tell you about "tonight's special," buy 2 lbs of fudge and get a free box of salt water taffy. If you live in a sea-side town you know that this is the same special that has been offered everyday since the beginning of time. (Not literally, but it's been the same special since I was a fetus. Only the prices have gone up.) If you're in town, don't get fooled by the "special." Check local papers for a coupon. Every fudge shop on the boardwalk offers them. (Fudge Kitchen, Laura's Fudge, Douglas Fudge...etc.) Over the years I have tried every fudge shop on the boardwalk and I think Fudge Factory is the best. It is the only place I ever buy fudge from. The shop isn't fancy by any means, it looks just like all the others, but it's the actual fudge and it's flavors that make this shop stand out. The variety at Fudge Factory is leaps and bounds above it's competition. With amaretto swirl, jalapeno pepper, watermelon and apple pie...I think this shop is in a league of it's own. (Well at least it is in Wildwood.)
