Tucked away in historic Old Mandeville, just steps away from the lakefront, lies a rather unassuming building that you ordinarily wouldn't think twice about, but it's one of the most incredible candy stores in Louisiana. If you've got a sweet tooth or a longing for your favorite childhood candy that you can't find on your average grocery store shelf, I bet The Candy Bank has it in stock! Let's see what this massive candy store in Louisiana is all about, shall we?

Welcome to The Candy Bank, a massive candy store in Louisiana that would make Willy Wonka proud.

Locally owned and operated, this sweet shop has been a neighborhood favorite ever since it opened in 2016.

You may even recognize owner Lisa Keiffer from her appearance on the 2004 season of "Survivor."

From the moment you step inside, you'll feel like you've just entered a real-life Candy Land.

Remember that scene from Willy Wonka when the doors open and the children get to see the whimsical, edible paradise? You'll be in a world of pure imagination here.

From jaw-breakers and cow tales...

...to hard-to-find candy from the past, you'll want to carve out plenty of time to check out everything on the shelves.

You'll even find a collection of novelty sodas you'll be tempted to try.

You might stumble into your new favorite flavor. Or at the very least, you'll have some very unique gifts to give your friends!

The Candy Bank is a great place for birthday parties and other celebratory events, too.

Imagine having your birthday party at a candy store. What a sweet birthday! Visit The Candy Bank website to learn more about having your next event or birthday party here.

One of the most popular sweet treats at The Candy Bank is the homemade fudge.

There are several flavors to choose from and they're always creating new flavors to match the season.

You can even pre-order your fudge online, which I'd highly recommend! Some flavors sell out as soon as they hit the shelf.

Don't forget to get a scoop or two of ice cream before you go. Or make it an old-fashioned float for the road!

Treat yourself, you're worth it.

While you're coasting on a sugar high, take a short car ride down to nearby Fontainebleau State Park where you can stroll through the hiking trails and enjoy beautiful views of Lake Pontchartrain. There are actually several hiking trails in the area, and if you're inspired to lace up your boots after that sugar high, I'd recommend getting an Alltrails+ account so you can download maps offline plus unlock several premium features.
