On Wednesday, South Jersey Gems visited Merchantville. The small town takes you back in time with its beautiful Victorian homes and very walkable downtown. It's also where you'll find one of the sweetest candy shops. Aunt Charlotte's Candies is my absolute favorite. It's adorably decorated for every holiday, with lots of seasonal treats. They also make many candies on site so they're always fresh and delicious!
