Even though candy-filled Halloween just passed, there is never a wrong time to indulge in sweet treats. Seeking a sweet destination to do so? South Walton, Florida, is the destination for you, as it is filled with fun candy shops. Round up the family and head to South Walton for a tour of the destination’s delicious sweet shops.

 

The Candymaker
In Sandestin, The Candymaker is “Florida’s largest candy store.” Handmade and homemade, the offerings include candy apples, pralines and other delicacies. They even have treats for the pup awaiting your return at home.

 

Pecan Jack’s Ice Creamery & Candy Kitchen
If pralines and toffee are more your sweet tooth’s style, consider Santa Rosa Beach’s Pecan Jack’s Ice Creamery & Candy Kitchen in Santa Rosa Beach. For an edgier twist when satisfying your sweet craving, there’s a selection of boozy pralines!

 

The Sweet Peddler
Located in Seacrest, The Sweet Peddler is the perfect spot for Jelly Belly fanatics — it offers a Jelly Bell vending machine alongside delicious ice cream options.

 

The Sugar Shak
Dubbing itself “the most hands-on-touchy-feely candy and ice cream store that is like no other,” The Sugar Shak is Rosemary Beach’s oldest business, established in 1999. Originally incorporated in a tiny shack on highway 30-A, it found its permanent home across the street in 2008.
