It’s true, Pralines may be a New Orleans tradition, but that doesn’t mean that locals in Shreveport, Louisiana can’t make delicious Pralines too! In fact, there are a number of good candy and dessert shops in the greater Bossier City and Shreveport LA area. In this post, we’ll list top five options for your sweet tooth needs while you’re here living in our temporary housing for travel nurses.
Looking for delicious candies for Halloween and beyond?

- Bonnie Jean’s Pralines – A great, local area company that you must try while you’re here in the South. Don’t know what Pralines are? They’re a nut-covered, creamy caramel chew that melts in your mouth. So good!

- The Chocolate Pineapple has a little bit of everything for your dessert as well as dinner needs! Looking for chocolate dipped bacon or pineapple? How about specialty fruit drinks and confetti popcorn? You’ve come to the right place. If you have an order for catering, the company also offers Cajun rice with shrimp, cheese queso, fresh fruit trays, cheese trays and more.
- Rocket Fizz is a nationwide chain, but they have a fun array of unique sugary treats including unique flavored soda pop, taffy, lollipops etc. The store’s selection is ideal for stocking stuffers or for a gag gift to a friend this holiday season.
- Over the Top Gourmets is a short 30 minute drive South of Shreveport.
