Shriver’s salt water taffy

Shriver’s · Ocean City, NJ

What the maker says
Shriver’s says it is the oldest business on the Ocean City, New Jersey, boardwalk, founded in 1898, and that its boardwalk shop is both a factory and a retail store where visitors can watch its salt water taffy and other candy being made, using the same recipe and the same facility.

Caveat
Shriver’s does not say where its ingredients come from. Taffy is a shore souvenir more than a keepsake; plan on it being eaten.
