The only thing better than eating homemade chocolate is seeing how the deliciousness comes to be. Fowler’s Chocolates has been a household name in the Buffalo area for more than 100 years and after downing a few (hundred!) over the course of our lives, we’re not surprised. It might just be the best chocolate we’ve ever had. That’s why we’re so excited for the 17th Annual Factory Tour coming up this fall!

Fowler's Chocolates got its start when Joseph A. Fowler opened a sweets and confections stand outside the Pan American Exposition back in 1901.
