Frankford Candy was established in 1947 by Sam Himmelstein in a small Philadelphia factory, initially specializing in chocolate-molded Easter products. The company quickly gained a reputation for its seasonal confections, with its chocolate bunnies becoming a beloved tradition for many families. While the business has expanded its product line to include gummies, jelly beans, and other treats, it remains a family-owned company. Frankford is also known for its innovative approach to candy, partnering with popular licensed brands to create unique and fun confections.
