Our Candy
All of our cand is made the old fashioned way...in small batches. The candy centers are made using the finest ingredients and are cooked in copper kettles over open-flame stoves while
being hand mixed. The candy centers are then covered in either milk, dark, or white chocolate and hand packaged in various sized boxes. Maintaining a strong attention to detail and refusing to settles for anything but the best allows us to continue providing the quality and freshness we demand!
Richard Gowell, Jr. is our candy maker. He does it all! He is the second generation and uses family recipies created by his father.
