Massachusetts is dotted with charming country stores and general shops that date back centuries. However, this one little country store in Marlborough may have them all beat when it comes to sweets – you can buy fudge here that will make your sweet tooth sing. Keep reading to find out more.
The Wayside Country Store in Marlborough is a charming little shop that dates back to 1790.
Inside, you’ll find a shop that is full of antiques and centered around a gorgeous cast-iron stove.
But the real draw here is the mouthwatering fudge. This stuff is made by hand with old-fashioned ingredients like real sugar, rich cream, vanilla, and plenty of butter.
It comes in all sorts of tempting flavors like chocolate walnut, peanut butter, chocolate sea salt, maple, mudslide.
Don’t forget seasonal flavors like eggnog and pumpkin spice.
Perhaps just as alluring as the fudge are the shop’s homemade gingersnaps. They’re the perfect blend of sweet and spicy.
The shop is also brimming with maple candy and syrup, gourmet jams and jellies, candles, bean pots, and a host of unique country store items.
You can buy candy here by the scoop, piece, or pound.
And be sure to add a little crunch to your day with one of their homemade barrel pickles.
The second floor is bursting with charming collectibles puzzles, wind chimes, toys, and games. You’ll feel like a kid in a candy store.
Be warned: you won’t be able to leave without picking up something tasty or beautiful.
There's no place like this old-fashioned country store for fudge and fun.
