Lamme’s Candies might be the oldest of the Austin, TX candy institutions.

He changed the name to Lamme’s and, as they say, the rest is history. The company's current bestseller, the world famous "Texas Chewie Pecan Praline," was first produced by David Lamme, Sr. in 1892 after seven years of recipe tasting. Today, the company is run by a fifth generation of Lammes, who are dedicated to continuing the family legacy of crafting world famous confections.
