I'm not a fan of fudge Aunt Leah's fudge changed that! Scrumptious fudge and the selections are crazy varieties did I mention decadently delicious! The Jamaican Me Crazy is outrageously YUMMO! Milk chocolate salted caramel is awesome, the service is wonderful and so friendly. You must stop by for a sample and bring some home, so good! Worth the ferry ride over just for their fudge! Don't miss out, new fudge fan here well Aunt Leah's fudge that is! Try the Jamaican me crazy! It's that good!

The Original Nantucket Whaler store is located at 5 Old South Wharf, Nantucket. Old South Wharf has a storied history itself, dating back to the 1700 and 1800's.
