Fresh, creamy and gluten free Pralines made by KatySweet Confectioners is something that everyone can enjoy. It was founded in 1996 by “Kay Carlton” with a recipe passed down from her Cherokee grandmother to her mother to her. She combined her love for business and love for candy. She spent several years developing the recipe for the commercial market without sacrificing the homemade taste. Her pralines are some of the few natural products on the candy market today. When you bite into one of the “Creamy Original Pralines”, you will taste the finest ingredients and the care that goes into making every piece. She’s using a two-kettle method to achieve a creamy praline where you'll never get a dry and gritty taste. KatySweet candy is still made to order, so it's always fresh!
