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.

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.

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.

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!
