Welcome to Forbes Candies for high-quality salt water taffy, chocolates, and unique gifts.

From our founder, Charlie Forbes, making peanut brittle in his mother's kitchen to our many locations across the Southeast, we are the top-choice in homemade candies.

We have something to suit every taste.

Our Corporate Office, Manufacturing Plant, and Factory Outlet will be closed on Friday, July 3rd in observance of Independence Day. 

We will reopen on Monday, July 6th.

 All of our other locations are open 7 days a week including       Sat. July 4th.

Internet orders placed after Wedsnesday, July 1st will be processed on Monday, July 6th.

Please be assured that we have taken the proper precautions in handling all peanuts and peanut products necessary to maintain the safety and well-being of our customers.

As you have most likely heard, Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) has voluntarily recalled all peanuts and peanut products processed in its Blakely, GA facility since January 1, 2007 because they may have been contaminated with Salmonella.

Our peanut butter supplier has confirmed that they did not purchase from PCA.

Our peanut supplier, Nida Trading Corporation, who had purchased peanuts from PCA, has recalled all of the peanuts in question, and we have returned those peanuts to Nida.

We thoroughly cook all peanuts prior to including them in our candies, and all of our products are produced in accordance with safe food-handling procedures.
