Churning out "southern confections cooked to perfection," The Candy Cottage is an old-fashioned candy store that specializes in pralines, fudge, and pecan logs.
Speaking of the pecan log, it’s the store’s signature item. The shop’s owner is a member of the Foote family, who created the tasty treat back in the 1930s.
There’s also a mouthwatering variety of handmade chocolates and homemade treats - all of which are made fresh year-round using only choice ingredients.
But the shelves are stocked with more than confections. Among the merchandise are a variety of regional concoctions, like cheese straws and mayhaw jelly.
