Candy Lovers Will Fall In Love With The Gourmet Creations At Uncle Willy’s In Maine

Have a sweet tooth that needs to be satisfied? Lucky for us in Maine, there are quite a few sweet shops to choose from. One of those might have stolen our hearts though, for having both an indulgent collection of gourmet fudge along with an impressive array of hard candy.

If you're looking for a fun trip to candy and chocolate heaven, head on over the Uncle Willy's.

Uncle Willy's Candy Shoppe has been serving indulgent sweets to the Camden community since 2008.

These aren't your typical caramel apples. Uncle Willy's Candy Shoppe thinks out of the box with additional toppings and indulgent drizzles of sweetness

There's also a delicious selection of homemade peanut brittle for those who enjoy a bit of a crunch with their chocolate.

On the first floor, you'll find a glass-enclosed display with all of their mouthwatering fudge collections.

To view more of their hard candy selection, head upstairs.

Barrels and barrels filled to the brim with taffy and other types of candy line the staircase and all of the candy can be purchased by the pound.

There are also tons of different jelly beans to choose from.

The owner is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about candy, and everyday the shop posts a photo on Facebook announcing the "Candy of the Day" along with a fun fact about it.

For instance, the Mallo Cup was invented during the Great Depression by the Boyer Brothers. One of the brothers made the candies, the mother and sister wrapped them, and the other brother would go door to door selling them in their neighborhood. Looks like all of that teamwork worked out well for them!

To support a local small business filled with lots of heart and lots of delicious candy, make a trip to Uncle Willy's or order from them online.
