In the heart of North New Jersey, a unique treat is capturing tastebuds and attention—candied fruit with a twist! Recently, I visited Cole’s Candy Shop at a pop-up, it’s a local company run by a talented young entrepreneur, and I found out why this candy-coated fruit is all the rage!!
I got to experience this first hand from finding Cole at a Street Fair, where she brings smaller containers of all her most popular flavor combinations for sale! The earlier the better if you plan on hitting a pop-up, this place is delicious and sells out!! This brand specializes in custom orders, which are not only delicious, but so so pretty!
The Fruit
From the first bite, the combination of refreshing fruit and candy coating was an absolute delight. I started with green apple candied grapes coated in Starburst, Cole said they were one of her favorites, and they’re one of mine now, too. The crisp, tart grape with the apple coating was divine. And the sweetness of Starburst made for a perfect balance of fruity flavors. I will definitely be getting these again.
Second, I got watermelon candied grapes with a Jolly Rancher coating—a juicy, mouthwatering blend that was super sweet and fruity and delicious.
And the third and final standout was the blue raspberry lemonade candied pineapple. This tropical flavor was addicting! The tart pineapple accented by the bold, candy coating, was so mouthwatering. Ordering candied pineapple from Cole’s Candy Shop is a must try in my opinion!!
How To Order
If you can’t make it to the pop-ups, don’t worry. Cole’s Candy Shop specializes in making aesthetically pleasing and delicious custom fruit trays. They are pick up or Uber Delivery ONLY!
