There are hundreds and hundreds of reasons that people come to Tennessee, but the Great Smoky Mountains are definitely one of the biggest draws. And while the mountains and surrounding trails and natural wonders are certainly one of the biggest draws to Gatlingburg, this candy shop on the main parkway in the town is certainly a draw for many. The Ole Smoky Candy Kitchen has been making handmade original candies since the 1950s, and they’re still making them all the same way today – by hand. Check it out!
