Our Story

The Legacy Lives On

Our recipes of southern delicacies.

For more than four decades of dedication to delicacies rooted in time-honored traditions.

The family has been devoted to meticulously handcrafting a diverse range of Southern delicacies, all steeped in their treasured family traditions.

The founder of Savannah’s Candy Kitchen, Stan, affectionately known as “the Candy Man,” discovered his lifelong passion while observing his mother’s meticulous selection and precise measurement of the freshest ingredients, all done by the cup of her hand, during his childhood.

Today, we pay homage to Stan’s enduring family heritage by sharing these time-honored Southern recipes passed down through generations. Stan’s wife, Tonya, and their son, Rhett, along with our committed team at Savannah’s Candy Kitchen, wholeheartedly and proudly carry on this beloved family tradition of sweetness.

What People Are Saying

"This place is nostalgic because it carries so many candies from when we all were kids that you can't find any more... It's a kid's dream (and an adult's). They also make their own salt water candy right in front of you, which is so fun to watch...This store also makes fresh pralines and other drool worthy candies right in front of you and they will let you try the melt in your mouth Praline... definitely a place worth stopping in even if you take the treats for later or for a nice gift."

"I’m addicted to chocolate in all forms and am very particular about high quality, dark chocolate. This store did not disappoint. After buying a few treats for myself and devouring them, they ended up going back to buy a few treats to bring home to my mother. Great selection of candies and while it was very busy, a long line means everyone else knows how good the candy is! The staff was friendly and the store was very clean and well kept!"
