Provincetown, Massachusetts
Handmade taffy and fudge from a 1927 Provincetown institution.
Cabot's Candy has been making saltwater taffy on Commercial Street since 1927, and claims to be the last Cape confectioner still cooking its own. The shop sits in a former 1892 bank building at the corner of Ryder Street, overlooking MacMillan Pier and Cape Cod Bay, with a working candy factory beneath the retail floor. Beyond the taffy — pulled with Cape Cod sea salt — the cases hold handmade fudge (the salted caramel dark chocolate is a local favorite), peanut brittle, honey-crunch popcorn, and caramels. The decor leans full 1950s nostalgia, and the whole place smells like it.
