If you like brittle, fudge, and chocolate, then look no further than Juanita's Candy Kitchen! In 1974, Juanita began making peanut brittle that she would peddle all around Arkansas. Over time, word of the tasty homemade treats got out and her business grew. She later added additional brittles like cashew and pecan. Even though Juanita is no longer with us, her legacy continues and you may visit the candy kitchen to pick up brittle, homemade fudge, and chocolates.

Located in the Ozarks, Martin Greer's Candies has been a family tradition for three generations. This candy shop makes their sweets in the old world tradition using recipes that date back to the Civil War era. A variety of brittles, caramel nut tempters, old-time fudge, and salt-water taffy can all be purchased at their store or online. However, they have many more sweets for sale in the store!

Gummies, jelly beans, chocolates, cotton candy, and even ice cream are all offered at Pour Some Sugar On Me Sweet Shoppe located across from Bathhouse Row in Hot Springs.

Many of their goodies, including their cotton candy, can be purchased online if you can't make it into the store.

Since 1925 and throughout four generations, Kopper Kettle Candies has been making sugary treats using fresh, quality ingredients.
