One Bite and You'll Know... Dorothy Gastel knew she had something special in 1947 when friends and neighbors began clamoring for the rich, creamy confections she whipped up in her tiny kitchen in McKeesport, Pennsylvania. Today Dorothy's Candies are making taste buds swoon from coast to coast and beyond. That's because we still craft our product with the care of a true artisan. Each candy is hand dipped in premium chocolate blended with more cocoa and less sugar - the traditional Swiss way to bring out the texture and taste of fresh, wholesome ingredients. Never any wax or additives in Dorothy's kitchen - then or now! Please open and sample our sweet legacy. It's all that heaven allows in chocolate!
