Carousel Candies On Fisherman's Wharf In Monterey, CA

CAROUSEL CANDIES ON FISHERMAN'S WHARF IN MONTEREY is a magical place.....

I have known Richard and Liz Elves for over 30 years. They own and operate Carousel Candies on Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey. The store has been in the family since 1960..one can feel the love and passion that goes into their products the minute you walk through the door. They are a perfect team and they have created a candy store that keeps people from all over the world going back again and again.

When you walk down the wharf, you can smell the scent of their delicious caramel corn being freshly made... as you follow your nose to see just what that marvelous smell is... you finally see the Hot Pink, black and white store front and you will be drawn inside not only by the sweet and wonderful scent, but by the magic of the candy store. Once inside, one is mesmerized by the handmade candies, caramel corn, candy apples, cotton candy....and the saltwater taffy which is like no other you have ever tasted...I think they have over 40 flavors...this saltwater taffy melts in your mouth and does not even stick to your teeth. The flavors are incredible from licorice and chocolate to cinnamon, grape, wild cherry...it is amazing.

All of their candies are handmade with the finest ingredients and the best belgian chocolate. I worked there when I was in college and I know from personal experience all of the effort that the Elves family puts into their products. It is old fashioned love and attention to detail and they really care about their customers.

Check out their website at www.carouselcandies.com they have Halloween goodies right now, and you can order them on-line if you can not get to Monterey. They will also have great Christmas Gifts for the holiday season...

The caramel corn is soooo good. It is perfection in a box, buttery, crispy and fresh...also, the chocolate almond turtles., oh my, the caramel in those is buttery, and just the perfect texture with the toasted almonds and the sweet smooth chocolate. Their English Toffee is another favorite of mine...

Visit Monterey, CA, go to the wharf and experience Carousel Candies...it is like walking into a magical candy factory...It is an experience that will make you feel like a kid again.

I love sharing Monterey County with you...it is a beautiful and majestic area with so much to offer.
