Hansel & Gretel Candy Kitchen was founded in 1973 by the Jones family in the scenic town of Helen, Georgia, a locale designed to emulate a Bavarian alpine village. The Jones family, driven by a passion for confections and a desire to create high-quality, handmade candies, established the store with a commitment to traditional candy-making techniques. Over the years, their dedication to crafting chocolates, fudge, and pralines from scratch has garnered a loyal customer base. The candy kitchen remains a beloved local institution, embodying both the charm of Helen and the enduring legacy of the Jones family's craftsmanship and entrepreneurial spirit.
