Laura's Candies

Oldest Candy shop in New Orleans. They are known for their pralines and salt water raft. What a fun store for you and your kids ( and eventually, your dentist!) there are so many candies and styles to choose from and it is an absolute blast of color and fun atmosphere. Handmade chocolate and “Mississippi mud’. A fun real Nola experience!

Walked in today looking for sweet tasting pecans. I didn't know what the proper name is for them, but I found them- Praline Pecans- and they are delicious. We also tried the white chocolate turtles, as well as, the milk chocolate one - thumbs up for both. I haven't tried my chocolate Graham Crackers yet, but I am sure they are delicious too. The lady who helped us was very sweet and pleasant. Excellent customer service!

This was our final stop on the Tastebud Walking Tour. We sampled their praline which was pretty good and not as sweet as some can be. It would be a shame if you didn't try some of their other delectable delights! I wish I tried more of their candies and chocolates, as we loved their chocolate covered Oreos, Mississippi Mud and Holiday Peppermint Candy!!! They have a lot to offer in such a small shop! Looking for a cookbook? They have that too!

Smaller store but excellent service the lady there was super sweet she let us try everything before we decided on buying stuff. Salt water taffy is sooooo amazing and is sold by pound. Chocolate candies are delicious as well. Amazing selection. There are little tasting areas for almost all the chocolates. They have great gift options and super cute little eclectic items. I tried the healthy candy made with acai and dark chocolate and ended up buying some. It was delicious definitely try it the owner said she thought it up and ended up putting it out and it became super popular. I can definitely see why. Must try item. Their English toffee is also one of my favorite items.
