Lammes Candies has a colorful history. Austin's oldest candy company, Lammes(with the 'lamb' logo, so that people pronounce the name right!) is known for its pecans, chewy caramel delights, Choc'Adillos and Kisses. Over five generations, Lammes Candies has been wagered, lost and won back and hit hard during World War-II. This forced the then ice cream store to diversify into candies, creating today's much sought after 'Texas Chewie Pecan Praline'. With a dedicated staff that doesn't mind bending over backwards to accommodate all your chocolate cravings, there's no other place one would rather go to get a daily fix of the love-chemical!
