Our Story and a Philosophy of Sweetness
Since 1969, "The Original" Grimaldi Candy Company, located on Florida's beautiful Space Coast in Brevard County, has been crafting some of the finest gourmet chocolates in the country. Best known for our famous and original Chips ’N Chocolate®—our signature chocolate-covered potato chips—we have delighted generations of customers with handcrafted confections made the old-fashioned way.
From rich truffles and buttery toffee to creamy caramels, citrus strips, coconut haystacks, pretzels, and our world-famous milk and dark chocolate-covered potato chips, every treat is made using traditional recipes and quality ingredients. We proudly avoid additives and preservatives whenever possible, allowing the authentic flavors and craftsmanship to shine through. It's a commitment to quality that has kept our loyal customers coming back for decades.
At Grimaldi Candy Company, we believe in slowing down and savoring life's simple pleasures. Each chocolate and confection is handcrafted in small batches using thoughtfully selected ingredients, bringing a touch of sweetness to everyday moments. Inspired by time-honored traditions and the charm of Florida's coast, our treats are made with care, patience, and a genuine love for the craft.
In our workshop, the process is intentionally unhurried. Chocolate is tempered by hand, recipes are followed with purpose, and every piece reflects the beauty of doing things the traditional way. To us, candy-making isn't just a process—it's an art form.
When you visit our stores, you'll discover more than delicious chocolate. You'll experience a little piece of history and nostalgia through our collection of antique chocolate-making equipment and, at our Rockledge production location, the opportunity to watch the magic happen firsthand. It's a glimpse into the craftsmanship and tradition that have defined Grimaldi Candy Company for more than 55 years.
We believe our chocolates are more than just candy—they're a small escape. A taste of something nostalgic, comforting, and quietly joyful. Alongside our handcrafted sweets, you'll also find a thoughtfully curated collection of coastal-inspired gifts that capture the warmth, whimsy, and charm of Florida's Space Coast.
Whether you're a longtime customer or discovering us for the first time, we invite you to stop by often. We're always creating something new, delicious, and worth sharing. 🍫✨
