Savannah is a fascinating city. It is filled with a rich history. There are a plethora of places to eat and drink. There are also several places that can help satisfy a sweet tooth. Savannah’s Candy Kitchen is the place I chose to check out for something sweet.
This candy shop has been around for over 40 years. They have several locations in town. I visited their location along the famous River Street. I could smell the yummy chocolate as I walked up to the door. They are known for their pralines, which I found out as soon as I saw their sign.
The shop was a magical place. There was candy and chocolate everywhere. I knew it was going to be hard for me to narrow down exactly what to get.
The main attraction that drew all the attention was the window that allowed customers to watch their famous pralines being made. If you are not familiar, pralines are a soft, creamy blend of sugar, butter, cream and pecans. The candy makers made the whole process look so easy. What was even more exciting was getting to taste a free sample. They were warm and sweet and the sugar just melted in my mouth. It is the perfect hook to get you to buy more.
They also gave out free samples of their homemade fudge. It was amazing. I tried the peanut butter / chocolate mix. It was extremely creamy and smooth. I would definitely recommend this treat.
I wanted to try a few of their other chocolate offerings. The chocolate covered raisin clusters caught my attention. I love Raisinets so I knew I would enjoy these. These homemade treats blew me away. They were 1000% better than anything you could buy at the store. The chocolate was extremely creamy and smooth. It melted in my mouth as soon as I took a bite. The raisins were tender and paired perfectly with the milk chocolate.
The one last chocolate treat I wanted to try was their Gophers. These were layers of milk chocolate, caramel, and pecans. These were basically chocolate turtles on steroids.
The caramel was super soft. When I took a bite it oozed out. The pecans added a ton of crunch and texture. The chocolate helped tie it all together. It was extremely sweet. One was definitely all I could eat.
Visiting Savannah’s Candy Kitchen was my favorite thing I did that day. I really felt like a kid again. I would highly recommend everyone make a stop by one of their locations around Savannah. You can also order some of the chocolate from their website at www.savannahcandy.com
Enjoy!
