Just as I was going to grab some candy with a scooper, I looked over to see a child sticking their…read morebare hand into a bin, put the candy up to their mouth, only to make eye contact with me and put that same piece of candy back in the bin. This place is disgusting. Both adults and kids stick their hands in the candy bins without gloves or scoops. I can't imagine the germs that are spreading. There is no one monitoring this at all, it's a free for all. Even the parents of the children are sticking their bare hands in. The place smells like cleaning detergent, but don't be mistaken, the candy is filled with germs.

Used to be good. But now it's just over priced nasty candy. I actually heard the old lady behind…read morethe counter say chocolate is good for at least two years. Makes me wonder just how old all that candy is. I doubt it's highly trafficked anymore. In my opinion it's a major rip off and not worth the stop. Go anywhere else. The women running it are sloppy as well. Not very presentable and certainly unprofessional. ETA: heard recently from a friend that she bought hollow chocolate bunnies and her kids found MAGGOTS inside them. Gross!!!!! Another ETA: A relative of mine walked in to attempt to get candy for Valentine's Day. She was so incredibly grossed out by the smell of smoke and absolute filth in this place. Dirty candy molds, old crap everywhere and the office looked like a hoarder lived in it. The lady behind the counter was moving so slow no one was checked out in the 5 minutes she gave it and in that 5 min is when she made the observations and left. How has this place not gotten shut down?!

Moving out of Jersey in 2004, the trips dwindled to twice a year, just enough to hit the boards and make the pilgrimage to Sawmill and Berkeley. The salt water taffy has the PERFECT mouthfeel, with many yummy flavors. My standouts are chocolate, cherry, peach and blueberry. 5-6 boxes later, our friends and neighbors out West can't wait for their fix! My other obsessions are: -The chocolate non-parielles are fresh and delicious. (Milk, Dark, Peanut Butter) -The candied fruit slices are also a must. -The molasses paddles are always fresh and satisfying. In sum, I love this place! -
