Aunt Mahalias Home Made Candy

 

Welcome to Aunt Mahalia's Home Made Candy shop. Located in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, right on the corner of the strip coming in from the 441 highway. I have been going to Gatlinburg for over 45 years and always make it a habit to stop in and buy just about everything in the store with chocolate. And let me tell you, they have a wide variety of delicious treats.

This time, this day, just last week, I bought some of my favorite candy confection. As you can see, it has melted chocolate on top. Below of course it has very good tasting cashews. I don't know how many, perhaps, 10 cashews. Intertwined is a caramel swirl that holds this delightful piece of candy together. 

Let me pause for just a moment please....

OK, I'm back. 

Of course the taste was out of this world. Seriously, out of this world. I cannot eat just one. (And neither can you) I bought six pieces, yes, six pieces. I ate two of them in mere minutes. 

The cost, seriously, not bad. Remember this place should be in Christmas Town. However, each one cost $1.50. (Well worth the cost. Even for an old retired chocolate junkie like myself)

The Grassy Knoll highly recommends Aunt Mahalia's Home Made Candy for all your chocolate desires. 

 The Grassy Knoll Institute scores 5 out of 5 shots and highly recommends Aunt Mahalia's for at any time you feel the need for brilliant tasting chocolate.

Aunt Mahalia's Chocolate Confections

Chocolate Heaven

Walking on the Parkway, (The main drag in Gatlinburg) I happened by Aunt Mahalia's Homemade candy store. A huge picture window dominated the store showcasing all the sweet confections.

I decided on the artery busting cluster confection of chocolate, cashews, and caramel.

In a word, it tasted delightful. However, the cost was $2.49 for this one piece of delightful. Not so delightful anymore. (Do you think I can squeeze the word delightful in this post one more time?) The cashews were fresh, and whole, (Whole cashews just seem to taste better than pieced cashews) the chocolate was divine, and the caramel nice and thick. It was very good tasting for sure.

The Grassy Knoll Diner awards 2.5 shots out of 5 and only recommends Aunt Mahalia's delightful (Ding, ding, ding) convection only if you got money to throw out the window.
