After 141 years in business, iconic Texas candy maker Lammes Candies is closing its doors

After serving Texas delicious treats since 1885, Lammes Candies is closing its doors.

Per CultureMap Dallas, the Austin-based owners cited “changing market conditions and the long-term sustainability of our operations” as the reason behind the decision.


The company is probably most well-known for its Texas Chewie Pecan Pralines, first introduced in 1892, which use pecans gathered from trees along the Colorado River. Lammes was also lauded for its famous Longhorns, caramel, pecan, and chocolate candies similar to turtles.


Lammes was Austin's longest operating family-owned business.
