The Jersey Shore is a famous spot for candy lovers, as every boardwalk is filled with old-school stores boasting an array of chocolate, salt-water taffy – and of course, country-style homemade fudge. Many of them offer great sweets but charge, well, Boardwalk prices! Fortunately, you don’t have to leave the Jersey Shore to find the best fudge in New Jersey at small-town prices. Rudy’s on Main, a Belmar institution, combines an inventive menu of seasonal homemade fudge with a selection of other treats, including ice cream, Italian ice, and other fresh-baked offerings. It’s all located in a quaint storefront only minutes from Belmar’s laid-back beach, and it’s an all-seasons treat in New Jersey that’s not to be missed.
