CANDYLAND — Local services in Ocean City

Turkish Delight was not as good as I had been expecting, given some of the other reviews. It wasn't expired, but it definitely felt stale and was not very delicious. Certainly not worth the absurd price I paid for my small chunk, either.

My issue with the place is that they not only do not have clear pricing on anything, but that they try to cheat you. I asked the lady behind the counter how much the Turkish Delight was, and she mumbles in a very quiet voice, changing multiple times between "piece" and "pound" and "long piece" and other variations. Okay, fine, I figure she's going to weigh it and I'll see. She weighs it twice and this multiplies the price, what should have been 7.99 a pound turns into a tiny piece that is over ten dollars. I definitely did not get more than a pound of Turkish Delight, and I feel scammed.

Buyer beware. It was entirely my fault for not checking the receipt and disputing it, but the place feels very dishonest, and it's not worth the price for the quality you get. You get the feeling that they try to mislead tourists because they can get away with it and figure that you're not going to travel all the way back to Ocean City to argue. Avoid this place, it's not worth it, you can get better sweets from anywhere else on the boardwalk for much cheaper and with clear prices and clerks that don't try to rip you off. It's no wonder that they didn't have any customers in there when I went, and I have no idea why...

Staff are friendly, but this shop is overpriced in several different ways. The "bag your own" candy is $16/lb (marked as $3.99/quarter-lb), while other shops on the boardwalk are at $10-$11/lb. The fudge is not only more expensive by weight, but they won't cut blocks down like other shops will; you have to take a full, precut block of any flavor you want, and naturally they're heavier than they're supposed to be. I had to order a pound to get 4 flavors, which is already too much, and then the 4 precut blocks actually weighed over a pound and a half. So instead of paying $9 to get 4 flavors at another shop, I ended up paying $25 to get way more than I needed. And after all of that, 3 of the 4 flavors weren't even very good.

This was the most disappointing stop on our boardwalk trip. We definitely will...

Went during off season, a lot of the stores on the boardwalk were closed. We’ve been wanting to try the Dubai chocolate and thought “why not.” Pretty good, the filling was very green so they might cut the pistachio butter with something else and dye green, but not mad about it. Also tried Turkish rolls/ candy for the first time. There was only 1 staff but he was pretty helpful and let us try the green apple roll, 10/10, I got the cherry to go, I like it, 9/10, but family thought it was kinda like cough syrup? I think it was rose flavoring which I like. The cookies and crème roll also kinda tasted like flour, but that’s our fault for getting a non traditional flavor. 8$ for 1/4 pound Turkish dessert, and like 8$ ish for the Dubai chocolate. Can’t comment on the packaged candy, but...
