I would venture to say you have a favorite candy shop from your child. The bright colors, the rush of sugar, the crazy names and recipes. If you haven’t been to candy shop, (because they mostly don’t exist any longer) there are plenty of old-fashioned candy kitchens to whet your taste buds and give your children a treat, in more ways than one.
Vacation is a time to treat yourself. So spoil yourself and your family with genuine, tasty treats from the best candy stores in Gatlinburg?
