In 1946, two brothers, Louis and John Watson, and their respective wives, Ellen and Mary, began making chocolates in the back room of their soda fountain and luncheonette on Delaware Ave. in Kenmore, NY.
Thank you for voting us as Buffalo's Best, but we aren't just for locals anymore! The word is out and we've shipped to all 50 states.
Using family recipes and traditional methods, we still make all our confections, including our famous Sponge Candy, by hand and in small batches.
Watson’s Chocolates is marking its 80th anniversary by turning Valentine’s Day into a heartfelt community birthday celebration. On Saturday, February 7, 2026, at its Kenmore flagship store, the family-owned Buffalo chocolatier will give free Valentine’s chocolate hearts to guests age 80 and over in exchange for a favorite Watson’s memory....
For more than a century, Valentine’s fancy hearts have been a cherished symbol of love, romance, and thoughtful gifting. These large, beautifully decorated chocolate hearts, often personalized with handwritten names and delicate cursive lettering, represent a tradition rooted in craftsmanship and heartfelt connection.
We are excited to share some great news. Watson’s Sweet Rewards is now available for both in store and online purchases. That means it is easier than ever to earn, track, and redeem rewards wherever and however you shop with us.
The holidays are almost here, and at Watson’s Chocolates, we’re making it sweeter than ever for you and your loved ones!
