Pollak’s Candies
Pollak’s Candies is a third generation, family-owned and operated business manufacturing fine chocolates since 1948. “Time-tested recipes, high-quality ingredients, and personal attention to packaging and service have resulted in our excellent reputation.” They work as a family with the same principles their grandfather taught them years ago. Each piece of candy is made from scratch and decorated by hand.
