Our company has been operating since 1982. A wonderful family in my community started the business in their home all those years ago and I had the privilege of working for them during my high school years. Many of the chocolates we sell today still use the original, delicious recipes they created and carefully perfected over the years.

   I moved away after high school, as many small town kids do, but eventually found my way back home and settled down. I went back to work for the candy company for a while before starting a family of my own. Then, in 2002, my former boss told me she wanted to retire. That was when I knew what I really wanted to do - I wanted to make chocolates. With a little hard work, (a lot of answered prayers), and some persuasion from a friend, I bought the original candy business and started Northern Comfort Candy Co. Since then I have created many new recipes of my own to expand the line and continue our reputation for making the finest hand made, hand dipped chocolates.

   The newest addition to my product line is the chocolate confections I make exclusively for EQUUS Fine Chocolates. This is a new brand of chocolates created by equine artist, Donna Goeddaeus, just for people who love horses. Each box features a full color reproduction of one of Donna's stunning horse portraits and bears the tag line "Hand made and hand dipped … so each piece is special, just like the horses we love." The rich, creamy chocolate I use for these premium confections comes all the way from one of the great chocolate centers of Europe.

   Another product line we now offer is Custom Molded Chocolates. This is especially popular with businesses. Having a business logo molded into a delicious bar of chocolate is a sweet, memorable way to add a tasteful touch to any business endeavor.

   While the company continues to grow and expand, we have one rule that never changes. We continue to use only use the freshest creams, caramels, nuts and flavorings in all of the candies we make.

   I hope you enjoy eating our chocolates as much as we enjoy making them for you. It is my desire that this business will continue in my family for many generations to come, for I now have three daughters of my own who love getting their own lessons in the wonderful art of making chocolates.
