All vegan items are prepackaged - Edit

The only vegan items (other than the commercial candy) are limited to one column at the end of the main counter.

Flavored popcorn, clusters (chocolate covered raisins, nuts etc), chocolate bars, chocolate bark.

Some ingredient lists are helpful, some aren’t.

We got a small bag of the cheese popcorn, it was a nice flavorful snack. And at $1.95, a reasonable boardwalk purchase. It would have been nice to have other flavors in that size to more easily try them all. The big bags are still only $4 though. And you get 4x as much in those compared to the small bags.

I also got the raisin clusters. They were quite nice. Basic, but still nice to be accommodated. (Maybe slightly too high chocolate to raisin ratio? But still perfectly tasty. I’d love to see a chunky-style cluster with raisins and peanuts mixed together.)

Lots of vegan options and friendly, helpful staff! - Edit

We were impressed by the vegan chocolate selection, which included coconut clusters, nut clusters, and peanut butter cups. The staff were very helpful at pointing out options for us.

Pros: Helpful staff, Wide selection- all dark chocolate, Fun location
