\nCompany Description

Company History:
In 1919, three brothers who immigrated from Greece founded Philadelphia Candies in the Mercer County, Pennsylvania. They chose “Philadelphia Candies” as the name of their company because in the Greek language it means "candies made with brotherly love.” Today, second and third generation family members still enjoy making delicious candies.

Why You Will Enjoy Our Chocolate:
We use the finest, freshest chocolate, nuts and fruits available. Then, our highly skilled candy makers cook all our candy center from scratch and never use shortcuts like mixes.

When you taste Philadelphia Candies, you’ll know why our freshly roasted nut, rich milk and dark chocolates, and delicious made-from-scratch centers have meant quality since 1919.

Visit our 4,000 sq. ft. chocolate specialty store and enjoy a selection of over 150 delicious chocolate creations fresh from our showcase. Online ordering is also available.

Virtual Chocolate Factory Tour:
Our Chocolate Factory Tour is available online. You will be thrilled to see our candy makers cooking cream centers, delicious fudges, marshmallow, and egg fillings.
