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.

Willy Wonka Chocolate Bar

Stopped at a candy store while visiting Geneva On The Lake back in May. I did not think that a Wonka bar was real but only made for the two movies staring Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp. Seeing it in the showcase, I had to have it.It was a standard chocolate bar likening it to a Nestle crunch bar only with a thin layer of graham cracker bottom. The chocolate was rich enough, not over powering, and no after taste. The cost was $1.50 which was pricey, but it was a specialty shop.

In essence, the novelty of the Wonka bar was more than the actual taste. The Grassy Knoll Institute suggests you spend your money on a Hershey or Nestle chocolate bar.

Sidenote: No golden ticket inside the bar.
