Damask Candies - Swedesboro, New Jersey

I am a returning customer for the BEST chocolate covered peanut butter eggs. Various chocolate covered sweets. Hand dipped chocolate made with love. Small establishment with great customer service. If you haven't been to Damask candies, it is a must, especially around Easter.

On boycott Friday of last week, I decided to patronize some local spots in Swedesboro. It came highly suggested to visit one of the oldest local candy shops - in business for over 115 years. Damask’s Candies is family owned and operated going on four generations!

It’s a cute little shop just off of Route 322 between industrial and development sites. The location offers plenty of parking.

Once inside, one is bombarded with so many choices of candy, it took a moment for my eyes to adjust. It is all currently Easter candy as that is their next big holiday. There are so many different choices of chocolates and sugary candy, there is something for everyone.

Since I did not have anything in mind, I was really just perusing, it took me a moment to decide what to try. I went with the homemade candied robin eggs. Definitely higher quality and taste compared to what you’re going to get in a chain retail store.

Many of my photos were not for a review, but for what I am going to show my teenagers and ask what they would like when I return to stock up for the holiday.

Definitely recommend that you check it out if you’re filling up the baskets for Easter or looking for a “sweet” gift. #trustkj

Their Chocolate is amazing! I had graduation cap chocolate popsicles made as a party favor. They were a hit and delicious. Easy to see why they’ve been open for over 100 years.

Get your orders in early for Christmas! This candy shop gets busy, mobbed, and sold out! My family has been buying candy from here for years! Always Awesome, favorites are Milk Chocolate Covered Oyster Crackers, pretzels, salted Carmels, peanut clusters, and chocolate airplane/toy molds for the kids.
Try them, you'll be back!

We got chocolates from Damask to use as our wedding favors, and they were a huge hit! The candies were delicious and the owners were very friendly and helpful as we decided what to get. Damask chocolates are a fantastic present - for loved ones, or for yourself. 🙂

Limited parking and only open from October to Easter. Staff is very nice and helpful. So many great chocolates to choose from.

I was passing through the area. My wife likes chocolate, so I stopped in to see what a had. I was partially excited because it appeared to be a small, family owned business. They had a nice selection to choose from. The young woman behind the counter was pleasant, informative and patient. I nibbled on a few pieces while in the truck...fresh and delicious. They had some clocolate covered, hazelnut pieces, so my wife was really pleased when I got them home, as those are her favorite. Good quality, good customer service, highly recommended.

This place is quaint and unassuming by the side of the road but don’t let the appearance fool you—the chocolates here are AMAZING. We discovered their famous chocolate dipped oyster crackers a decade ago through my grand aunt and I’ve been buying them as gifts since then. The chocolate is smooth creamy with a melt in your mouth velvety finish. They make all the chocolates in store which is why they close after Easter once the weather gets too hot. I can’t recommend this place enough. The owner Doug and his daughter are super friendly and the fact this magical chocolate store is on its fourth generation is pretty amazing. I always call before a big order just in case since they make everything in store. Definitely check it out—you’ll become a chocolate addict like me!
