Top Ten Candy Stores In The Hamptons & North Fork
When drug stores and supermarkets start selling sweets right at the checkout counter, an honored American tradition starts to die - the local candy shop.

Nothing says summer like a little bag of sweets after dinner. Here are our picks for the best candy shops in the Hamptons and North Fork to satisfy every sweet tooth.
