About Us
From our family to yours, for over 100 years
Since 1919, Douglass Candies has been a Jersey Shore tradition — and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Douglass Candies expanded beyond its original location, opening additional shops in other Jersey Shore towns. This growth connected the brand with new communities while keeping the focus on handmade quality and family-run service. The stores continued to operate with the same recipes, processes, and friendly spirit that defined the original.

Our customers are at the heart of Douglass Candies
I've been coming to Douglass Candies since I was 8.... it was always our tradition on the last night to stop into Douglass with my grandmother and get all of our candies to take home. Now, I get to experience the same with my son, who loves the sea salt caramels from Douglass! I love that I get to continue one of my childhood vacation traditions now, with him!
When it came time to decide on wedding favors, there was no question in our minds—Douglass Fudge was the perfect choice…Our guests absolutely loved the favors, and it was a great way to share a meaningful part of our story with them. We couldn’t have been happier with the experience and highly recommend Douglass Fudge for anyone looking to add a sweet touch to their wedding or event!
As a member of a volunteer firefighter "family," Wildwood was always our first vacation choice. And no vacation was complete without a stop at Douglass on the boardwalk. Friends and relatives always look forward to sampling the salt water taffy and caramels we bring home.
My family visits the Wildwood location twice a year! The candy and taffy is always fresh and delicious, the staff are always super nice! Our little one loves your lollipops! Can’t wait to see everyone this summer.
