Explore NowBack in the late 80's, Tom Ehlke a local business man was standing in his friend's beach supply store and he noticed tourists coming in looking for salt water taffy. His friend was selling little boxes of taffy that looked bad (and tasted worse) for $4.98.
Tom decided he could do better than that and went to work researching salt water taffy. Eventfully opening a full line candy store and then in 1992 moving to Destin, FL and opening the now famous Candymaker and becoming for all time the "Grouchy Old Candymaker".
The taffy is made daily and so much better than the stuff you get "elsewhere" in a box. This is the real deal.
Great selection for any sweet tooth. Plenty of the hard to find items that you cannot get at your regular shopping malls. Helpful staff and easy checkout. Go get your sweet fix.
Love this candy store. We have a hard time finding GOOD pralines. They have regular and chocolate that are to die for!
My family enjoyed your assortments of taffy. We finished the whole bag on the way home from Destin FL to MI. They were so light and fluffy. We are definitely coming back to your store again on our next visit to Destin. Both ladies that helped us were very pleasant and welcoming.
So much candy! The staff was really friendly. I really dig the feel of this place, very cool.
Vacation tradition for our family. Always stop in for some great chocolate on our trip.
