Dorothy's Candies
Premium hand-dipped chocolates
If you love fine chocolates with old-fashioned goodness, you have come to the right place Dorothy's Candies.  Our commitment is to produce the finest chocolates anywhere.  We still use all the secret recipes, which Mom developed over the years, for dipping chocolate and creating delectable fillings.  She passed these recipes and techniques on to me and a few select friends who still work with me today.  True to Mom's tradition, we still use only the finest ingredients available on the market today, from fresh, crunchy nuts, to rich, creamery butter.  All of our chocolates begin with the finest Swiss blend chocolate available.   Though most candy makers now manufacture their chocolates on an assembly line, we still dip our chocolates by hand just like Mom and Grandma did.  We think it tastes better that way.  Just try it.  We think you'll agree.
