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.
Walking by Rudy's on Main in Belmar's busy retail district, you might pass it by - but the delicious smell will convince you otherwise!
The store specializes in all the popular shore treats, including a massive soft pretzel that is a world away from the standard fare.
A cabinet full of house-made ice cream flavors is the perfect treat on a hot day - or a cool day, if you just love the creamy treat!
But the traditional Italian ice may be even better than the ice cream, coming in a wide range of flavors that make you feel the owners of Rudy are flavor wizards!
Nothing at Rudy's, though, tops their homemade fudge. The thick slabs of creamy goodness are loaded with mix-ins - like their popular chocolate walnut fudge.
You never know what you'll find here, as Rudy's is constantly introducing delicious seasonal fudges you'll want to try.
If you're taking your fudge to go, you can have it cubed instead of sliced for a bite-sized snack through the day.
Fudge makes a perfect gift - and you can combine it with some of Rudy's other baked goods for that sweet-lover in your life.
