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.
