Smoky Mountain Candy Makers - Candy Stores Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

Stopping here has become a family tradition. The store is a quaint shop nestled against a hillside in Pigeon Forge, I believe it's right across the main drag from the Old Mill Restaurant. If you like taffy, they have a huge assortment of taffy that is made onsite. You can also watch them making taffy, which is pretty neat. I'm more of a chocolate fan, so I go for the chocolate counter. I'm not crazy about the fudge, but the peanut butter cups, chocolate raspberry cremes, and other chocolates are awesome. The workers are friendly and helpful. If you happen to be there while they are making taffy, they will interact with you and explain what they are doing. There is also a gift shop upstairs, but I've never gone up there to look around. Sadly, I just finished the last of my chocolate today. Can't wait to return next year! read more

So many options to choose from! I was literally like a kid in a candy store. There was so many choices that I could not decide. They also let you sample candy. read more

Small shop with a good variety of taffy and other "homemade" candy. The candy and taffy I tried tasted great. Pricing was reasonable at $8.98 per pound. We now make it a tradition to stop and get some candy when in town! read more

Great place for candy. I found them to have the best prices per pound. The candy was very fresh and they have a huge selection. The most flavors of taffy around. I enjoyed packing my own box with my favorite flavors. (You better buy twice as many as you think or you will regret it days later!) They are not located in walking area but have plenty of parking out front. I will always go here for candy when I'm in Pigeon Forge. read more

See all

So first off I want to say that the candy store was amazing, so many different options of taffy, fudge, chocolates including sugar free. I bought a ton and was surprised it only came to $29.00. My bad rating is a based on the upstairs part of the store. My dad is a veteran so I thought if there was anything up there he'd like since it's basically god guns and country type merch. I don't know if it was the owner or just an employee but he kept following my husband and I! I even saw him hiding behind a rack of clothes looking at us! We left & my husband said " did you not buy anything because that man was following us?" I said "yep". Following a customer is so rude and offensive, I clearly bought from downstairs I'm not sure why he thought I was gonna steal from the upstairs part but I'll never spend another dime at this place again. read more

We spotted this shop on the way in to town and couldn't wait to stop in. A cute candy shop with gifts and antiques. The lady was very friendly and helpful. The taffy and chocolate candies are great. read more

So yummy! Alllll of the taffy flavors we tried were great. My only regret is not buying more! Even the sugar free taffy was GREAT! Only got one piece that seemed tough or old in our bag we made up, and it likely just got lost in rotating new stuff in. Guy making taffy was kind enough to offer my kids and I a fresh sample of what he had on the machine being made! SO great. Got a few jelly slices too, will totally go back on our next trip! read more

Best place for fresh taffy and chocolates. A must stop for my family. They have something for everyone and it is always so fresh. The staff has always been helpful and honest. read more

We got the chocolate covered orange peels and they were wonderful. Even though they were busy, we were greeted and helped in a reasonable time read more

This place has moved about a half mile down the road. It has a lot of choices and is well priced! We got various types of chocolates and fudge. Apparently the first candy store in the Smokies! read more

This is the best candy shop in the smokies. They have the best taffy which they make on site and you can watch it being made. It's a go to for our family when we're in Pigeon Forge! read more

The store itself may be great but DO NOT try to order online. I ordered last week, they won't take online payment and so I called my credit card information in. I was told I would get an email confirmation the next day. I STILL have not gotten any email or anything and I have sent 2 emails. (Online ordering is pricey too, for 2 lbs the shipping was $8 so for my 2 pounds I paid just under $20) UPDATE- never got any correspondence from them but the candy arrived today. Very fresh. Teaberry is delicious! Just like the gum. The Clove is too mild for my taste but not bad. read more

Amazing staff and fair pricing! While visiting the shop, the gentleman making the taffy showed us how the make it and offered us some free samples. I think it's amazing that there are still good quality employees out there like this! read more

This place is a family owned business in Pigeon Forge, TN that has been here for years according to the owners. Everyone there was friendly and helpful. They had taffy and chocolates as well as penny candies and other sweets. A sample was provided if asked. I bought chocolates which were out of this world. Please make it a point to venture into this quaint little show that has something for everyone including sugar free options. read more

We stopped in, but didn't buy anything, so I can't really comment on much. They have lots of taffy and some fudge and your basic candy items. Nothing caught my eye to purchase. read more

great store. Great selection and great candy

I as a single man used to come here every month to get at least 3 bags of assorted taffy. Now that I'm married, I brought my wife and I've started that tradition again. This time I bought my Mother in Law some Tutti Frutti Taffy. She loves me even more. read more

Great selection of candy. Extremely reasonable price. And the staff was very friendly. So happy we stopped by.

It is a candy store. Enough said. And it is made with sugar what is not to like. Went a couple of times while in Gatlinburg loved everything we got. read more

I'm not much of a taffy fan but the taffy here is amazing. It was soft when we bought it and days after, then it was all gone. Plenty of flavors. There are of course plenty of other fun options. Well worth a trip for this little gem. read more

great place clean place great workers i've been going once a year since i was 6 and i wouldn't go anywhere else to be honest

The best candy store In pigeon forge, Tn we went in here looking for hot sauce, which we were told they didn't carry it, so Howard the owner tells us of a place in gatlinburg that has 100's of different hot sauces, he actually took out his phone and yelped it for us and told us how to get there. We did buy a few different chocolates which where incredible even days later it still was creamy and fresh. So whatever your looking for especially chocolate you can find it here, if not he can probably tell you were to get it at. The store was spotless and had hundreds of selections of different candies, so don't waste time going to any other candy store smoky mountain candy makers is the only stop you will need. And we found the hot sauce shop right were he told us it would be, thanks Howard. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped in here when we were in Gatlinburg for a long weekend. He had been here previously and said it was really good, so I decided to give it a try. We took home quite a load of candy, just little samples of things that looked good. I can honestly say that I don't think there was anything that I disliked. Some of the flavors of taffy I wasn't very fond of, but it was still made well I just didn't like the flavor. The fudge is amazing. They had these jelly sugared candies that took me back to my childhood. Kind of hard to notice from the road but if you get a chance, definitely stop in! read more

Very fresh taffy and the turtles were great (great little find)! Also went into another candy store later same day and they were much more expensive than here-Good Job controlling costs for your customers-we will be back to see you soon! read more

I can't give 5 stars because it is candy but it is one of the best candy places I have been too. We stopped in because someone at my work had brought some taffy in from here and I love me some taffy. The place was empty and the store owner was behind the counter looking bored. My daughter came in after I did helped me pick out some taffy. It was about 5 something for a pound of whatever you wanted, pick and choose. They had barrels of all sorts of flavors so we got some banana (my fave) and my daughter chose chocolate, strawberry, and some others. They also had MOONSHINE!! There were also some flavors I had never heard of nor would I try. They also had fudge and candied orange peels and HUGE chocolate covered marshmellows. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for at least some good taffy! read more

Great store! We visited from ohio. Peanut butter peanuts are AWESOME! Smooth chocolate, taffy is great, and we bought som sugar free for inlaws! I am definitely coming back for more! read more

Sooooo glad we decided to stop here! Staff was great! The candy is beyond good. They have so many different flavors and they are all good! It is a must stop if visiting the pigeon forge area! You have to try the banana and the orange cream! read more

Taffy was not bad - I chose flavors carefully - but the fudge was old and dry. Disappointment.

This place here is a joke! My husband and me walked into the candy store today. These people did not acknowledged us at all. We walked around just to see if they would actually say "hello." They just ignored us! Well guess what? Since our money wasn't good enough. We went to chocolate monkey. read more

First time in the store I was very impressed all the old time candy they offered, but my favorite is the Taffy delicious

Best Taffy Ever. There are many great places for taffy in the Smokies, but this place is the best. The crew that works there are so nice, and my little girls love watching them make the taffy, and they get a ton of samples. This is the one place I make sure to hit when we come to town. read more

My family and I were in Pigeon Forge 2 week's ago! Every time we go I have to stop at the Candy Marker's, I love this place, I love the smell of all the candy, My daughter really enjoyed watching the guy make the taffy. If you get a chance to go to Pigeon Forge you must stop in here for the best candy ever! read more
