Hi, my name is Michael Mootz and I am the founder of Michael Mootz Candies.

I started my business in the summer of 1975 by selling fudge at local fairs and farmers markets. We continue to sell at some of the same fairs 37 years later. My wife Debi became an integral part of the business when we were married in 1979. Today, along with our fudge, we manufacture a full assortment of incredible chocolates.

Candy has always been part of my life. My father and grandmother were both confectioners. Many of the chocolate recipes that we use today have been in the family for over 90 years. My son Jason is a fourth generation confectioner and carries on the tradition working with Debi and I here in Wilkes-Barre.

Our mission is to offer the best fudge, chocolates and service to our customers at an exceptionally competitive price. We take great pride in using the freshest ingredients to create our delicious confections.

Michael Mootz Candies is a proud member of the Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce and the RCI (Retail Confectioners International) an organization comprised of world class confectioners.

We look forward to serving you and are confident you will enjoy all of our candies.
