Hansel & Gretel Candy Kitchen is a must-stop in Helen. The shop is charming, with plenty of handmade chocolates, fudge, and candies made fresh right there. The atmosphere is cozy and delightful, perfect for anyone who loves quality sweets. Prices are fair considering the variety and craftsmanship. Friendly and attentive service makes the visit even better. Definitely worth a stop!

I’m going to be so honest here. It is pricey but it’s HELEN. Like they are there to open and make money. The staff was extremely helpful and so SWEET but the quality of the chocolates and caramel on the apples tasted burnt. Which sucks because that’s ALL I was craving for my Octoberfest trip. It was an expensive experience. They have the Dubai chocolate too.

A sweet treat for all ages. The shop is full of handmade chocolates, fudges, and candies, all crafted with care and quality. The smell alone draws you in, and the variety makes it hard to choose just one thing. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the old-world charm of the store fits perfectly with Helen’s Bavarian feel. A must-visit if you have a sweet tooth!

The people who work there are very friendly. It's hard to choose with all the chocolate options and unique flavors they have. I ended with some of the best ones they pick for me, and all were delicious.

June 14, 2025. Let me start by saying they have a great selection of different types of chocolates and candies. We tried several different types of fudge, and they were all wonderful. We bought an assortment of truffles. They had so many different flavors. If you are in Helen, Georgia, this is a spot you have to visit.

It’s a quaint chocolate shop. I just went to add to my bucket list. Chocolate unremarkable. Honestly, Lindor tastes much better.

Visiting Helen for first time, was passing through from Blue Ridge, Georgia area (traveled from North Florida). My friend and I were on vacation for 3 days in Blue Ridge, GA. area, and before heading back to Florida, decided to spend some time in Helen, GA (12-09-2024: Sunday). I am thankful we had opportunity, the area is beautiful, and the town seemed scenic and fun! The two of us explored a little bit of town, had an early dinner locally, and came across Hansel & Gretel Candy Kitchen. The establishment looked very nice (and clean), and once stepping inside, smelled incredibly fantastic! The staff of shop all seemed very nice as well as helpful if needed assistance. There was certainly something for just about everyone! They offered some daily samples (or if something wanted to try, I believe they were happy to help). Being a younger person, there was a slightly older gentleman who helped my friend i was with, she ordered or picked up few pieces of Fudge. He had asked us how we were, and if traveling. Pleasant conversation, as well wished us safe travels. I hope to make it back to Helen, GA again sometime soon! Thank you everyone for wonderful experience, and quality items

This is sad. My family moved up to Cleveland GA in 1994 and we all started going to Helen on a regular basis. Everyone in the town used to be so nice. We went to Helen about a month ago and it has all changed. It has become so commercial and more of a tourist destination and unfortunately we didn't run into anyone that was very friendly. This is Georgia guys! What happened to "southern hospitality"?! As we were leaving we stopped by this fudge shop where we have been shopping all these years. The lady there was extremely unfriendly and kind of short in her answers when we asked a couple questions. I even think the new owner, (because it definitely has changed hands) was standing about 6 feet from her and never said a word. He even looked at us as she was talking. They pretty much doubled their prices. My mom loved the fudge here but it is not the same. It definitely isn't worth doubling the price. No matter how nice the chocolate case looks it's all about the taste. We have been going here so long that we know what it used to taste like. If someone says it's awesome I think they are just overwhelmed with the looks of the candy and doesn't really know any better. I think there still is another fudge shop deeper along the main street in the heart of Helen so maybe try that one instead. I hope they read my review and consider making some changes. And actually there used to be other people in this shop every time we would go there but this time there wasn't anyone there. Maybe they all know already, lol. TO THE SHOP OWNER - We hope you get it together and take this review seriously. You are a convenient location but if the service and the product are sub-standard, you will lose more customers along with us!

Aptly named candy store, lots of goodies to pick from that’s why queues form. The sweets we got tasted great and were a great value.
