Candy stores may seem like a thing of the past but they do still exist, and Mississippi just so happens to be home an incredible one. Officially known as The Pecan House, the small town sweet shop has been in business for decades. Delightfully charming and full of homemade treats, a visit to the old-fashioned candy shop is sure to be a memorable (and tasty) one! Take a look:
Opened in 1984, The Pecan House is a family owned business that specializes in Mississippi grown pecans, candy, fruit cakes, and gifts.
You can find The Pecan House in the small community of McHenry. In 2015, a second location was opened in Gulfport.
Practically overflowing with charm and a sweet aroma, it's clear you're in for a real treat as soon as you set foot inside the shop.
Though full of merchandise, it's the homemade candy and fresh baked goods that'll surely grab your attention first.
Among the tasty treats, you'll find pecans prepared a variety of ways. From salted and hand-dipped pecans...
...to pralines and mini pecan pies, the selection is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Even though the sweets are some of the most popular sellers, they're not the only homemade goods you'll find at The Pecan House.
The shelves are stocked to the brim with other delicious made-from-scratch items, like preserves, jams, seasonings, and more.
There's also a ton of unique gift items.
Look around and you'll find everything from wall art and antiques to furniture and locally made crafts.
The Pecan House is a great stop year round, but it's especially lovely during the holidays when it's decked out in festive décor.
Plus, it’s the perfect place to stock up on gifts, so be sure to plan a visit soon!
Visit the original Pecan House at 441 Highway 49 in McHenry. There’s also a second location at 8930 Lorraine Road A in Gulfport. For more information, click here.
