There are a lot of things to love about Ocean Springs – and The Candy Cottage is one of them.

The charming sweet shop is located on Washington Avenue in downtown Ocean Springs.

Churning out "southern confections cooked to perfection," The Candy Cottage is an old-fashioned candy store that specializes in pralines, fudge, and pecan logs.

Speaking of the pecan log, it’s the store’s signature item. The shop’s owner is a member of the Foote family, who created the tasty treat back in the 1930s.

Today, the pecan logs are made using the same recipe as when created all those years ago.

The sweet selection doesn’t end there, though.

There’s also a mouthwatering variety of handmade chocolates and homemade treats - all of which are made fresh year-round using only choice ingredients.

Nostalgic candies and other classic treats are also plentiful.

And remember, the tasty assortment changes with the seasons.

But the shelves are stocked with more than confections. Among the merchandise are a variety of regional concoctions, like cheese straws and mayhaw jelly.

In addition to being a great place to satisfy your craving for something sweet, The Candy Cottage is a great place to pick up a gift. The pre-packaged gifts are not only convenient, but sure to impress.

So, are you ready to treat yourself with a visit to the charming candy shop?

The Candy Cottage is open 7 days a week. Visit Monday – Thursday 9:30 a.m. – 5 p.m., Friday – Saturday 9:30 a.m. – 6 p.m., and Sunday 12 p.m. – 4 p.m. For more information, call (228) 875-8268. You can also check out the shop’s website or Facebook page.
