Ye Olde Pepper Companie is the oldest candy store in the United States - they have been open since…read more1806! They are famous for their Gibralters and their Blackjacks - I of course, took home both. The Gibralters come in lemon and peppermint flavor - they are big pieces of candy that are made to be broken and shared. I also took home two of the blue raspberry flavored fruit jellies which didn't make it very far - I'm a sucker for anything blue raspberry flavored. The inside of Ye Olde Pepper Companie is very small, the line took up the entire store and people actually had to wait outside until people left before they could come in. The line moved quickly though and they were very organized when helping customers. There are no tables to sit at, just tables, cases and shelves of candy! They offered chocolates, fudge, Saltwater Taffy, caramel corn and even brittles. Is it the best candy in the world? No, but I love knowing that I got to visit and purchase candy from the oldest one in America. Staff were very friendly and they gave me a See's Candy vibe minus the cute little outfits. I will definitely visit again if I get the chance! Check out a part of history!

The ambience is great, with the taffy bins resembling a small row boat! Service is great, there's also a 10% off discount for the first order when signing up for the rewards. Generally prices are reasonable too. Pretty funny they have the same store within 500 ish feet of each other. I'd go twice!

We ended up getting a taffy assortment to try, and the kid family members we were with opted for gummy sharks and sea creatures, and some gummy pizzas. I saw some people ahead of us getting frozen lemonades, which looked good. If my friend were with me, I know she would have gotten the chocolate covered gummy bears, which can be hard to come by. There's a little freezer with chocolate covered frozen bananas- in dark and milk chocolate varieties. It was the first time I had a dark chocolate covered frozen banana. It was awesome!

A trip to Rockport wouldn't be complete without a stop at the Country Store. Think old fashioned…read morecandy shop meets quirky retro insanity. With a real, functioning Nickelodeon (that costs more than a nickel), retro-inspired lunch tins, magnets, signs and books, incense, gag gifts, candles, cookie cutters, mugs, toys, and other eclectic goodies, this store is packed to the brim with unique and entertaining merchandise. And don't forget the penny candy (that costs more than a penny....a lot more). The entire left-hand wall is lined top to bottom with plastic bins of self-serve bulk candy. Nostalgic for Squirrel Nut Zippers? Wondering what ever happened to Teaberry Gum? Well wonder no more. From licorice to Nerds, bubble tape and flavored tootsie rolls, even those weird marshmallowy coconut watermelon slices, it's all here. Not to mention the dozens of flavors of Jelly Belly Jellybeans. Just grab a bag, fill it up, bring it to the counter for weighing and enjoy all of your favorite sweets. Or maybe a huge dill pickle or some fresh popcorn (maybe not all at once...) The Country Store has knick knacks from head to toe, and with so many different candies and trinkets to look at, it's hard to leave empty handed.

One of the coolest parts is their display of centuries-old candies they recovered. It's a neat bit of history because they're the oldest candy company in America. My favorite is the Bog Turtles, their Massachusetts take on classic turtles with dried cranberries, available in both milk and dark chocolate. They also have tons of adorable tourist souvenirs, like chocolate witches. I can never leave without grabbing a packet of Gibraltars, their signature snappy candy that melts in your mouth. The mint flavor is my go-to, but they have lemon too. If there's a line, it's worth the wait. It moves pretty quickly and the folks behind the counter are really nice.
