Handcrafted
Every piece is made by hand at 29 N. Conahan Drive — the way George made them, one batch at a time.
Our Story
It began with a copper kettle
Before there was a storefront, there was a young chocolatier, a hometown, and a promise.
After years perfecting his craft in the fine chocolate houses of New York and Philadelphia, George Esposito came home to Hazleton, Pennsylvania, to marry his sweetheart, Victoria. With a single stove and one copper kettle, he began making candy for friends and colleagues — and word traveled fast.
By 1934, demand had outgrown his kitchen. George opened a storefront and named it for the woman who inspired it all: Victoria's Home Made Candies. A decade later, the business moved to a larger factory at 51 N. Laurel Street — its home for the next six decades, until continued growth in the 2000s carried the family to 29 N. Conahan Drive, where every piece is made today.
When George passed away suddenly in 1956, his five brothers carried the craft forward, guarding his original recipes and techniques. His nephew Paul joined in 1969, purchased the business from his uncles and father in 1979, and became its longest-serving owner. In 2014, his son Paul Jr. bought the business from his father — and has run it ever since with his wife, Lynne, and their family.
