Short answer: St Ives has four fudge shops worth knowing: Fudge Kyst (soft, smooth fudge; the chocolate-covered peppermint sells out), Cornish Delights (affordable, with a vegan range), The Cornish Candy Shoppe (traditional, with gift hampers) and Myrings (an old-fashioned sweet shop with handmade fudge and clotted cream shortbread).
Every Cornish harbour town has a fudge shop on every corner, and they're not all equal. These are the four in St Ives that visitors keep going back to.
Fudge Kyst makes soft, smooth fudge rather than the crumbly kind. The chocolate-covered peppermint is popular enough to sell out, and they post orders too.
Cornish Delights is affordable, with a proper vegan range. One reviewer tried every fudge seller in town over a week and put this one top for taste, price and service.
The Cornish Candy Shoppe is a traditional fudge shop that's been going for more than 15 years. Its hampers make good presents.
Myrings is an old-fashioned sweet shop in a stone cottage: sweets in jars, family-made clotted cream shortbread and handmade fudge, at fair prices.
