The Most Delectable Candy Stores in New Orleans

Roman Chewing Candy

★★★★☆ 3.7 (17) • $

"I was wondering how the Roman Candy Man had less then 5 stars and then I realized that the FTR has a fundamental misunderstanding of how he works. First, ignore the address and phone number listed. I'm not sure what that's about.2nd, stalk the cart via it's twitter feed: https://twitter.com/RomanCandy 3rd, if the mule is working then be prepared to find the cart since the mule wanders where he (she?) likes.4th, enjoy some tasty old school taffy and watch out for your fillings.5th, if they are selling cotton candy, buy some. It is delicious and freshly made."

Leah's Pralines

★★★★☆ 4.4 (225) • $$

"Leah's Pralines is my fave Praline shop out of all the ones that I have tried in FQ. The pralines are so fresh and they have samples if you cant decide what you want. My friend recommended this place to me because she really liked their bacon brittle, but after trying a few I liked the spicy cajun one more!! The spicy cajun brittle is great, it has a hint of spice and tastes so fresh and buttery. I should have bought more . I also got the chocolate praline, sweet potato praline, original praline, and rum pralines! Great place for your souvenir / sweet needs. The girl who worked here was super friendly as well."

Blizzards Snobalz

★★★★★ 5 (8)

"Listen to me....this was the best snowball I've ever had in my LIFE thus far!! I mean, a real slice of cheesecake in a SNOBALL...WHAT?! I got wedding cake flavor, which is my fave. There was flavor throughout, which was great but they didn't stop there with the deliciousness..oh no. They took it to another level and topped it with sweetened condensed milk and blueberries/blackberries/raspberries...MIND BLOWING...MIC DROPPED! Let me just say, the snoball was so EPIC that the young lady who prepared it had to take a pic of it...I'm serious..she really did. She was super sweet...beautiful personality. I think her sweetness made the snoball that much better. Yooo, I'm not driving to New Orleans for a "cheesecake" stuffed snoball again...not as long as this place is around. This is the real deal..real cheesecake (not marshmallowy goop trying to pass as cheesecake)..great flavor THROUGHOUT...great service..how can you go wrong. You've gotta check this place out."

Lolli's Chocolates

★★★★☆ 4.3 (14) • $$

"This seems like a branch for a bigger location. But it has very pretty items and several different price points. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't more variety in the case items, but maybe that was just the day I popped in.The boxes and cookies are beautifully wrapped and decorated. I just find the enrobing chocolate a bit blah, but that's just my personal taste."

Candyman's Burgers and Pralines

★★★★☆ 4.3 (6)

"These pralines are to die for! They are made from scratch with love and creativity, the variety is uncanny. This family business is a place you must stop at if you're passing through the Mississippi area."

The Fudgery

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (47) • $$

"This place is a little slice of magic inside of an outlet mall, why? Because when you walk by you are blinded by large pieces of fudge, chocolate covered pretzels, ice cream, and of course the things that I ended up ordering which was a giant rice crispy treat covered in sprinkles and chocolate and 2 large marshmallows with a stick through it and it was covered in mini m&m's......did I just die and go to heaven? Because that's kind of what it felt like to stop by The Fudgery. Not only was the treats I ordered absolutely delicious (because they totally were) but the staff was super friendly and even gave my friend a price of fudge as a sample. I would definitely recommend anyone in the area or at the mall check this place out because you'll find some delicious treats!"

The Fudgery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (90) • $$

"Best anywhere. I was watching it being made as a giant log by a fudge master through the window. I waved and gave him a thumbs-up. He reciprocated. After a couple minutes he left for something. Then I saw him walk up to me outside and hand me a chunk. He noticed my birthday shirt. Typical southern hospitality. Pecan, carmel, and fudge. It was the best in years.Recommended."

Royal Praline Company

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (11) • $$

"My boyfriend and I went into the Royal Praline Company in the French Quarter of New Orleans and bought pralines as well as a bag of their bourbon pecans that they had for sale. The store was kind of in a disarray and did not appear kept up, as there were many things misplaced by what I assumed was from customers but even so, the staff were not fixing their shelves. The staff was also not really caring about their customers as the person helping me was on their phone. However, the pralines we bought were delicious and the bourbon pecans were very, very rich in flavor."

Loretta Authentic Pralines

★★★★☆ 4.4 (25)

"I've been coming here for over a decade. Loretta's praline beignets are the best in New Orleans, by far. Cafe Du Monde has fallen off, over the years. They also make the best sweet potato pies, and the pralines? Mon dieu! C'est magnifique!"

Southern Candymakers

★★★★☆ 4.3 (106) • $$

"Best in the USA! Stop into this cozy little shop and enjoy a free sample that will convince you. This is in fact some of the best pralines you've ever had!Handmade right in the shop, the aroma alone is worth the stop. Pleasant folks are very welcoming and if you're not sure what you want, they do ship!More than just pralines, handmade chocolates, etc. are available to satisfy any sweet tooth. You must come here when you are in the French Quarter."

Magnolia Sugar & Spice

★★★★☆ 3.9 (68) • $$

"I found myself here doing a mix of tourist shopping for my friends and of course for myself. The big sign that read, "Magnolia Sugar & Spice" pulled me in as well as the big opening in the store. It's got this charm (and smell of pralines) that kind of pulls you in.The store has tons of gift ideas. Something for everyone you feel like buying for, from coffee, coffee mugs and pralines to hot sauces, cookbooks and more. You can sample the pralines before you even buy them which is nice and they come in individually wrapped cookies or boxes.In the middle of the store you can sample the different hot sauces and such. Not necessarily my thing because I start thinking about the germs, but have at it if you feel like trying it out.It's in a great spot in town so you can look around before you head into the French Quarter, figure out what you want and then grab it on your way back. That way you don't need carry around your bag of goodies all day.For a touristy place I didn't think it was too overly priced. The staff was nice and the place was really clean. Not bad at all in my book!"

Evans Creole Candy Co

★★★★☆ 3.5 (28) • $$

"Next time, I am stopping in the day before or of my departure so I can get the King Cake to last a week or freeze. Lovely bakery & friendly employees. The individual King Cakes are fresher & are easier to travel w/. Lots of other items to enjoy while there & the story behind the cake. Also a great souvenir/gift stop for a piece of NOLA for you or your friends back home."

Royal Praline Company At The Riverwalk

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (6)

"When we come New Orleans my wife and I always go to Royal Praline for their pralines they are so good we enjoy it very much. Also they sell souvenir like magents,cup,magenta,, other items."

Royal Praline Company

★★★★☆ 3.9 (98) • $$

"Stopped in to get souvenirs for my family and they had so many options. The pralines were a hit! I should've got more. They also gave me a coupon with my purchase for 20% off an online order."

Kho Bo Ngoc Quyen

★★★★★ 4.5 (31) • $$

"Enjoyable distraction. Probably hundreds of kinds of jerky. Lots of spicy and exotic flavors. The dried anchovies are great. Spicy beef lemongrass has a nice kick. Enjoy on your next trip to Hong Kong market! Tell them Dave sent u. They dont know me and you won't get a discount but maybe yelp will get U the hookup. Makes a great off the wall gift for your foodie friends. Looks like they have boba tea now too."

Mister Apple

★★★★☆ 4.1 (231) • $$

"Discovering Mister Apple was such a treat!We stayed at the One11 Hotel, and from our window, we could see the store. We made it our mission to stop by before leaving New Orleans.The treats were good and there's a lot to choose from. The service was great. The atmosphere was down-home and inviting.Please visit here!"

Aunt Sally's Pralines

★★★★☆ 4 (168) • $$

"Pleasant customer service! A must-stop gift/souvenir shop while visiting NOLA! I bought a 12 pack box of Aunt Sally's Creamy Classic Creole Pralines to share with my family, a vintage postcard of the French Quarter for my sister, and a bottle of Crystal Hot Sauce on two different visits during my travels in NOLA. The famous pralines are creamy, richly sweet, and a satisfying dessert treat. The hot sauce is awesome. A lot of restaurants we dined at had this same hot sauce and as it was my first time trying this brand of Louisiana hot sauce, I loved it and wanted to bring a bottle of it home. Recommended stop for some pralines, hot sauce, postcards, and more!!"

Southern Candymakers

★★★★☆ 4.4 (437) • $$

"Amazing candy place in NOLA that is a MUST to visit.They give free samples of their pralines which are top notch!!!The employees are very nice and helpful.Many chocolate covered things to pick from.Cute little doorway into the shop, it makes me feel like o have traveled back in time.We came here twice on our trip! Came back for seconds.They have gifts there (like chocolate crocodiles)I highly recommend pralines, turtles (this was soooo good) and their rice Krispy treats! Oh we also got ice cream for hot humid day!"

Laura's Candies

★★★★☆ 4.3 (261) • $$

"Delayed review....Brian was awesome and helped me out really well.... Great tasting pralines as well!!!!! He also explained to me what a real praline should be and that nobody makes them that way anymore because they fall apart too easily.The choices there were good and I got a good variety so I can distribute them to my friends and family after I got back from my trip.I know they had other items in the store and it was well laid out but I came for the Pralines specifically and I would recommend trying Laura's !!!!"

Laura's Candies

★★★★☆ 4 (13) • $$

"This really is a great candy and ice cream store! This location is the newest of Laura's Candies which has been in business since 1913 and they have two other locations in the French Quarter. This new location in Metairie is now their production facility and has also added an ice cream parlor. They really have a fantastic selection and do a lot of great seasonal/holiday items along with a lot of great New Orleans and Louisiana themed scrumptious candy treats. Their chocolate truffles are the absolute most AMAZING I have ever had anywhere with intense bold flavors that really stand out from any other chocolates I've ever tried anywhere else in the world. They have some really great Louisiana and New Orleans themed gifts that should make most folks pretty happy not to mention they are also delicious but some are so pretty you almost feel bad about eating them.Overall you are wasting time if you haven't visited here yet so hurry up and start enjoying life more through the AMAZING chocolate and other treats here!!!My video review of this location of Laura's Candies is here:https://youtu.be/QJz8Lgvin6o"

Ms K's Pralines

★★★★☆ 4.4 (55) • $

"I've tasted many pralines from many different places. Ms. K's are the absolute best. Just found out today she ships. No longer have to wait for our next trip to NOLA. Whenever I have a taste for them I can place an order."

Krazy Clays Treats

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"Cute little sweet shop tucked right in between Puccino's and Carreta's! Nice outdoor, covered seating area and tables and chairs inside the cozy café! Bring your sweet tooth! I hadn't packed mine and showed up with a full belly of food yet still managed to drink a hot chocolate, eat a bowl of jambalaya and a couple spoons of my friends gumbo. I know I said it was a sweet shop but apparently the owner just really enjoys cooking and boy can throw down in the kitchen! It was good and unexpected for a "sweet shop!" ha From what I understand from a friend his burgers are really good too! If you're looking to get some cocoa bombs to better enjoy this cold front moving in he has a bunch. He also has French vanilla cappuccino bombs which I'm not a coffee drinker but that sounds interesting. He has cute coffee mugs and tumblers for sale too! The coffee mug with something about the Grinch and a cocoa bomb would make for a really cool Christmas gift idea! Just sayin. And before you judge me for the pictures yes we went ham buying cocoa bombs! It's the best way to drink hot chocolate let's be real!"

Le Bonbon

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"I love that I was able to find some unique Japanese flavored favorites of KitKat candies which I absolutely love since my trip to Japan.The cashier was so nice and the shop is so colorful and fun! Picked up some fun items that were so cute."

Aunt Sally's Pralines

★★★☆☆ 3 (15) • $$

"We wanted to grab some souvenirs for our friends and family from NOLA and I'm not a big keychain/postcards girl. I love food souvenirs and because we were flying with carry on only, bottles of hot sauce weren't going to work!After sampling some of the pralines at Aunt Sally's, we were pretty sure these would make amazing souvenirs! We grabbed a box of the limited edition salted caramel ($15.99) and a dozen of the original recipe pralines in chocolate and regular flavours ($24.99).Kind service at the store and the gentleman let us sample as many flavors as they had. Thanks for helping us bring a little sweetness from NOLA to the North!"
