Texas Pralines: Tradition, Ingredients, Allergens & Sugar-Free Options
Quality, Tradition, and Customer Satisfaction are just a few of the tenets that have been integral to our customers returning for the past 140 years. What once started as a small candy shop on South Congress in Austin, Texas, has become a household name with products beloved by Americans across all 50 states. The dream that began for our family to produce high quality confections has helped Lammes Candies become the Traditional Texas Candy that we know and love today. Our commitment to working with local companies that provide high-quality ingredients, as well as creating products that all of our customers can enjoy, has helped define our legacy. Every treat we make, from our famous Longhorns to our Chewie Pecan Pralines, reflects the values that built our reputation: authenticity, craftsmanship, and a deep connection to Texas’ pecan tradition.
Over the years, we have worked to create decadent confections that delight our customers and help make their days a little sweeter. We have continuously sought to develop products that match our customers’ preferences, while also staying true to using high-quality ingredients such as locally sourced Texas pecans and American-made chocolate. Over the past 140 years, we have added products that not only support candy preferences, but also dietary and allergen restrictions. We know that our customers have various needs, and we have worked to create products for all consumers to be able to enjoy the deliciousness of Lammes Candies. Combining traditional flavors, supporting local farmers, while also creating products that can be enjoyed by those with various dietary restrictions is what sets Lammes Candies apart from others.
Finding products that taste delicious, but also are edible for those with dietary restrictions, can be difficult. Lammes Candies sought ways to stay true to our flavors, while also creating products that more people could enjoy. We have assorted sugar free options to support our consumers. We offer Assorted Sugar Free Chocolates as well as Sugar Free Longhorns. Our Assorted Sugar Free Chocolates contain a multitude of flavors from creamy peanut butter to smooth coconut. The assortment provides decadent flavors that can satisfy any taste buds. Our classic gets a makeover with our Sugar Free Longhorns, where you don’t have to sacrifice taste and flavor. We stay true to our big-on-flavor philosophy without adding sugar; instead, we use maltitol for just the right amount of sweetness. Lammes aims to provide delightful flavors for every customer, regardless of dietary restrictions.
Providing a variety of products can sometimes lead to quality issues or using alternative companies that aren’t local; however, at Lammes, we stay true to our promise and don’t shift our values. We strive each year to continue our partnership to get locally sourced pecans from Texas, as well as buying our chocolate from the American company, Guittard, which works to ensure the chocolate is ethically sourced through their Cultivate Better program. Each step within our supply chain highlights the importance of creating a product that not only tastes impeccable but also supports local economies.
Over 140 years, we think you can taste the difference when you bite into our Longhorns or Chewie Pecan Pralines. Whether you are looking for a delicious treat that fits your dietary restrictions or you are looking to support local American companies, Lammes Candies has a multitude of options to make life all the sweeter. For those who value flavor, craftsmanship, and Texas pecan tradition, Lammes Candies offers a taste of history wrapped in sweetness and made to be shared.
