When it comes to road trips through Georgia, there is nothing quite like this adventure of sweets. Chocolates and caramels abound.
These are the best chocolate shops in Georgia and the best route to get to them all in one weekend getaway.
Starting in Atlanta’s iconic Ponce De Leon Avenue and ending in North Georgia’s premier weekend getaway hotspot, Helen, the two-hour road trip takes you through Georgia’s capital city and into some of the state’s most beautiful mountain country — which is filled with fun couples activities such as apple picking and trail hiking. The most memorable stops along the way will prove to be Hansel & Gretel Candy Kitchen, Chamberlain’s Chocolate Factory and Collier Candy Company, as ranked by Only In Your State.
Hansel & Gretel Candy Kitchen
Helen’s Hansel & Gretel Candy Kitchen has been hand crafting gourmet chocolates since 1973, including fine fudges, decadent truffles and delicious brittles. It’s the attention to detail put into every bite that earned the chocolate shop the ranking of best candy store in Georgia from Taste of Home.
“You are always welcome to visit our shop and our factory location where you can see our products being made and shop in our fine retail areas.,” a representative told iHeart. “We always bring you new and exciting flavors, so be on the lookout for our next decadent surprise.”
Chamberlain’s Chocolate Factory
Located in Roswell, a short stop on your journey from Atlanta to North Georgia, Chamberlain’s Chocolate Factory is a must see. With over 3,000 chocolate molds in stock, and a willingness to craft custom designs, Chamberlain’s Chocolate Factory can bring almost any chocolate order to life.
“We take great care to include the finest possible ingredients in each of our candies,” the chocolate shop’s website said. “Our mission is to provide you with fresh, original, fabulous tasting chocolate. We are a full service chocolatier. We make all of our own ganache for truffles as well as creams, caramels and toffees. Over the years, we have added new favorites and improved the old standbys. As we are known to listen carefully to our customers, it is not unusual for us to fashion new favorites based on customer ideas and input.”
Collier Candy Company
Atlanta’s own Ponce City Market is home to the first stop on your journey, the Collier Candy Company. Full of hard-to-find sweets and decadent chocolates, the Collier Candy Company has everything you need so you can stock up for your big road trip.
