Pricing was very reasonable, and service was fabulous! Stepping into this delectable candy shop was amazing as the smell of chocolate just envelops you and a very large hug! Of course, we walked down the very large candy counter, picking out chocolates for later this evening, and they were very patient with us. They also had free samples of their fudge, and their brittles. They have a wonderful selection of sugar-free confections as well. The staff, was very knowledgeable on what was behind the counter, and answered quite a few questions. If you love, homemade chocolates, this store does not disappoint! Safe travels

The girl behind the counter was spectacular handled my cravings really well and I ended up getting Oreos for my daughter, and I had a selection of Petit fours and truffles, which were fantastic! I also got a couple of large pieces of peanut brittle and some pecan pralines all of which are some of the best I've had in a while. What a great place to get your sugar fix on, and the staff was super friendly, especially when they're about to close. Highly recommend!

On our way to Anna Ruby Falls, we decided to stop by this shop and explore. Outside they had samples of seven different apple varieties as well as boiled and fried peanuts. Their Cajun and original fried peanuts were so good that we instantly bought a few bags. The store employee was very friendly and told us about the town of Helen and nearby cities. Inside the store has an ambiance of an old timey southern store selling quality hand made food products. I recommend stopping by Fred's and getting some good quality goodies for yourselves and as gifts.

Since I don't live near here, it was my chance to buy some of my favorite fudges in the Brookstown Fudge store. Mmmm!! I could smell the delicious scent of fudge down the streets of Helen. At first, it smelled like hot chocolate and I was craving some hot chocolate but it soon passed and I was wanting to eat some fudge samples and get my hands on some fudge! I tried the fudge with peanut butter. It wasn't my favorite. I wasn't really fond of the peanut buttery taste of the fudge. The Mississippi Fudge - had marshmallows and nuts (forgot what kind). It was too sweet for my taste buds so I just went with my favorites which were: - Fudge with Pecans - Fudge with Walnuts - Milk Chocolate Fudge Today it was buy 2 slices of fudge and get the third free deal!! The slices were half a pound for $6.95. Hooray for homemade fudge!! Well you know what I mean! Yay!!

The city of Helen is a dangerous place to visit if you have a major sweet tooth. Fortunately, I do…read morenot. I prefer salty over sweet foods and rarely even leave enough room in my stomach for dessert after a meal. However, I do enjoy very limited portions of sweet treats every now and then. Brookstown Fudge is a wonderful little family-owned business which has been open since 1977. My sister, Yoomee H., absolutely loves chocolate, so she makes it a point to stop here whenever we visit Helen. The fudge here is what I imagine to be the perfect flavor and texture - not too sweet and not hard but not too soft, either. Yummy. I love that they provide complimentary samples of various different types of fudge, including ones that contain nuts like pecans, almonds, and walnuts. They also have unique flavors like Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl and Cookies and Cream, to name a few. Personally, I stick to the basics and like the Plain Chocolate best. During our most recent visit on a Sunday afternoon, my sister bought two half-pound slices ($6.95 each) of fudge to get a third free. Yes, that's almost $14 (technically almost $21!) worth of fudge. Way too much, if you ask me, but she loves her chocolate. However, be sure to eat the fudge within a few days (if not sooner) because they will dry out and harden (totally agree with Andrea L.). Not good, so don't let it happen. Aside from the fudge, I did get my very first (and LAST) Candy Apple here a few years ago. Having seen candy apples on TV and movies, I thought the bright red, candy-coated apple on a stick would be somewhat similar to a caramel apple, meaning I thought it would be soft when I bit into it. No idea why, but I seriously thought that the "candy" on the apple would be like a thick, soft candy, so you can imagine I was in for a surprise. I HATE biting into hard candy, and when I bit into my candy apple for the first time, I thought my teeth were going to break. HAHA... Although it was fairly tasty, it was difficult to eat and ended up getting VERY messy. I vowed to never buy a candy apple again. (I'll have it if it's free. Teehee.) Overall, Brookstown Fudge gets 4 stars for their tasty namesake - fudge. I'm sure everything else is delicious, too, but again, I don't really crave sweets so I haven't tried much else here. The employees are usually pretty friendly, too, and don't give you dirty looks for sampling even if you don't end up buying. They're always too busy to worry about things like that. I highly recommend Brookstown Fudge, and they have the "Buy 2 slices, get 1 free" special often (if not always), so be sure to gather some friends and family to share it with. Unless, of course, you can eat it all yourself. =) [Review 318 of 366]
