Strolling along the streets near Jackson Square, I thought a piece of chocolate sounded good. I found my staple sea salt caramels in a pack of 6 and had to give them a try. Yummm so good! I even found some postcards that I could send home to tell my family and friends about my first visit to NOLA. The store was cute, clean. Staff was helpful.

This was the final spot attended on a food tour. It was the oldest candy store in New Orleans that had homemade chocolate treats including pralines. There were other options to choose from, but the pralines were the popular choice.I had a regular praline as well as a chocolate one. They were decent at best. Both of them hardly had any pecans unfortunately. I am not sure if it was just a one off, but it was disappointing. The actual chocolate portion was not bad, but pecans were needed. The chocolate was definitely the better of the two. It tasted very similar to a brownie. Like previously noted, it was a shame for the lack of pecans.Will I go back? Debatable.

Cute candy store... had come in for a Praline as I wanted to try as many as possible in the Quarter and do my own Praline crawl. In New Orleans Pralines are just about everywhere. Store offered samples and to be honest this was not my favorite. Very sweet and grainy. Though the homemade saltwater taffy was amazing. Got a bag to take home but ending up eating it all before it even made it back to New York. Friendly staff and large selection of freshly made confections. Highly Recommend for a sugary treat.

Lots of chocolates including pralines. They also have fruit slices. I bought a creamy pralines. Didn't have many pecans. Candy looked good.

Drawn in by the candy shop sign, we walked in with no hesitation hahahha. Loved the aesthetics of the shop. It's bright all around from the white walls, counters, shelves. I walked out with a few bags of the claeys hard candy priced at $4.99 each. Their popular flavors, like cherry and lemon, were sold out, so I opted for the watermelon which was solid. I also got to try their chocolate caramel, but it was okay. The caramel filling is very thin, and I would've preferred it to be chewier. It didn't taste authentic. The employee upfront was super enthusiastic and friendly, adding to the warm vibes of the shop. Would love to try their other candies in the future!

I walked in here and the lady behind the counter saw me come in while she was serving another man. Once she was done with him, she says, "now who's next?". I look at her and she is confused. I basically just let another family who came in behind me to go ahead as they said they would be quick. While I wait 15 minutes for them to finish their decisions on which chocolates and showing their videos and pictures on their phone to the lady behind her counter, it was "finally" our turn. Now this lady behind the counter was a bit harsh with "make sure you tell me all the chocolates you want on this side of the counter as the sliding doors are very heavy". Her further comments were a bit odd while we were selecting the chocolates. At any rate, we tried different ones and found the toasted coconut milk chocolate ones the best. However, prices are very high here. 4 small chocolates were $10.

The chocolate here was okay. I tried both a chocolate caramel turtle and a regular milk chocolate caramel square. The flavor was good, but the texture of the caramel was not my favorite on either. I wish the turtle had more pecans in it also. Overall it was okay but I had better from other places around there. A big shout out to their bags of clays hard candies, me and my friend came back specifically for those to take some home!

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 !!!!

This one was my least favorite out of the three that I visited. They had a nice and sweet lady working that day, but they didn't have the touch available. They only had Rum Pralines available but didn't offer any samples. The pralines were good but incredibly sweet just like the lady working there. I would most likely revisit the other two spots I tried before returning here.

The fresh pralines are good -- but just good. Clearly catering to tourists, and that's fine. But Southern Candymaker around the corner is frankly much better (and offers samples to back it).
