I don’t know about you, but when I go to the fair in the fall, I always make a bee-line for the candy apple booth! There’s just something about those traditional Halloween treats – whether they’re coated in neon-red candy, rich caramel, or smooth chocolate. But alas, too many places stop selling them as soon as the calendar turns over to November. Not all places, though – and the best candy apples in New Jersey can be found in Wayne year-round at a quaint candy shop called Laurie’s Homemade Candies. Operating for over 40 years, this candy shop specializes in chocolate, which means most of the candy apples on offer are the chocolate-dipped variety. But that’s just the beginning of the surprises, as the flavors and stylings of the candy apples here change all the time, and never cease to surprise!

Laurie's Homemade Candies looks every bit the old-school candy shop of small town lore, and that usually means great things.

The store even has large chocolate sculptures, in shapes like footballs and high-heeled shoes.
