Watch Homemade Sweets Being Made At This Mississippi Candy Shop

Not all of Mississippi’s hidden gems are tucked away in small towns. Some of the state’s best kept secrets are hiding right under our noses. That’s definitely the case with Coast Candymakers, which, despite being located in a bustling area of the Gulf Coast, remains one of the state’s best kept (and sweetest) secrets! Take a look:

Spanning 800,000 square feet, Island View Casino Resort in Gulfport is the largest land-based casino on Mississippi’s Gulf Coast. As you’d imagine, it’s brimming with amenities, but they’re not all contained to its massive interior.

One of the resort’s best features, Coast Candymakers lies just outside its doors. More specifically, you’ll find the tiny sweet shop right next to the Island View.

The shop may be small but its selection of confections is anything but. Traditional treats, like fudge, salt water taffy, pralines, and chocolates, are plentiful.

Chocolate-dipped fruit and nuts, gourmet candy-covered apples, nut clusters, and brittles are also among the sugary selection.

And with new items and inventive flavors being thrown into the mix from time to time, the inventory is always growing and evolving…

…especially around the holidays, when the shop offers all sorts of themed treats.

But the shop’s perks don’t end with its assorted homemade sweets and treats.

One of its best features is its display kitchen, where customers can watch as confections are whipped up from scratch.

If you can’t make it to Coast Candymakers to get your candy fix, we’ve got the next best thing – instructional videos from Coast Candymakers, so you can make your favorite treats at home. The video below is one of several posted to the casino’s Facebook page.

For more information, call Coast Candymakers at (228) 314-1521. You can also visit Island View Casino website or Facebook page.
