With bright lights and colors and a huge candy section, this is a a child's dream. There are many different choices in open bins where you fill a bag/box and purchase by the pound - Keep an eye on those scoop sizes because this gets real expensive real fast! At $15.96/lb as of my visit, you can very quickly scoop an eye popping amount into what feels like a small bag. The staff were not especially friendly, mostly mumbling and hard to understand when I asked questions. Also, prices seem intentionally misleading ("$3.99/quarter pound") which seems cheap if you're only quickly glancing and not doing the math.

Do you have a sweet tooth? Are you currently in OBX? Well then head on over to Forbes. Seriously…read more This confectioner states they have famous taffy and fudge, but they have so much more. Do you remember penny candy? Well....it's no longer a penny but I bet Forbes has your fav. I was excited to see such a variety. If you are looking for souvenirs then you can also find a bevy of really nice things to gift friends and family (or yourself) to remind you of your trip. The only stroke was the lack of red coins. I'm not fond of red hot dollars but the gummy cherry coins are my fav...and I couldn't find them.

Chocolate Cheesecake: a lot less sweet than most - big win in my opinion Birthday Cake: the kids loved it but the sweetness level was too much for the adults. Flavor was on point though! Cookies & Cream: huge hit with the family! Exactly what you would expect of it. Butterfinger: should've asked for extra, this went QUICK. Snickers: seemed like classic chocolate fudge with peanuts and caramel on top. This was one of my favorites because it was simple and delicious. Peanut Butter: you can never go wrong with the classics. This was made perfectly! The fudge was excellent and great quality. I don't recall the name of the person I spoke with but she seemed to be the owner and quite invested in this work. She made excellent suggestions and her sweets were made perfectly.

The coffee explosion is much more sundae than I expected but at least I have at least 10,000 steps in from walking 51 minutes one way to burn off some of those calories. This place may randomly open earlier or later than regular hours if they know of events going on as well. One of the staff took the time and energy to tell me about all the different flavors and another one asked me about my lego shirt which I later remembered is from Typographia in Portugal. To add (6/8/24 update): I'd like to "challenge " the Laughing Lollipop to beta test offering TooGoodToGo and a vegan flavor of ice cream. If there is any place that can keep their brand going and innovate with ice cream and candy in Manteo, it is this place!!
