Southern Candymakers - Main Store

The Praline Connection piece is bigger, it tastes more like caramel and has a buttery finish to it. The Southern Candymakers' praline on the other hand is smaller and tastes like pure sugar. It was way too sweet and when you chew it you can feel the grains of sugar in your mouth.

A local friend brought me here 4 years ago when I asked him who had the best pralines in the city. I was not disappointed. Yes, they are a little pricey, but after savoring a sweet potato praline or a coconut praline, you will want to pay them for the privilege. Quality costs extra, and these pralines, fudges, toffees, and nuts are worth every penny and then some. You're not buying candy. You're indulging in a New Orleans experience you will not regret.

Always a treat visiting here not least for the wonderful aroma of caramelizing sugar and browning butter! They're of course most famous for the praline pecans, but my personal recommendation and favorite is still the glazed pecans which allow the nut to shine with highlights of brown butter, salt and caramel! You just go ahead and try having only one...

Nice counter people. Very generous with samples of homemade pralines and chocolates. Bought tasty dark chocolate squares, one with almonds, another with cashews, and a third containing pecans.
