There once was a young girl named Ava, who hailed from a five generation New Orleans family. Neither Hurricane Katrina nor a move to Bainbridge Island, Washington could erase the spirit of New Orleans from her heart. Her belief in lagniappe (a little something extra!) and the daily reminder of her gris gris (a good luck charm!) inspired her to recruit her older sister Margaux in a specialty food venture. Armed with recipes passed down from their great great great grandmother, Ava and Margaux perfected a line of traditional pralines (praw-leens) made from organic ingredients that will spread the joyful and resilient spirit of NOLA in every bite.

We hope you will join us in our mission! In addition to producing scrumptious pralines, we are committed to giving back to the city that inspired Gris Gris Sweets. 10% of every sale is donated to the Gulf Restoration Network, a non-profit committed to uniting and empowering people to protect and restore the natural resources of the Gulf Region for future generations.
