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.
As climate change has helped push cocoa prices higher, companies are changing candy recipes in subtle ways. Almost no one noticed when, sometime over the last few years, the packaging on Almond Joy, Mr. Goodbar and Rolo was updated to remove the words “milk chocolate.”
If you’d like to share your Watson’s memory on camera, we’d love to feature you in our upcoming 80th Anniversary video!
There’s something about fall in Buffalo that feels like home. The air turns crisp, the leaves start to glow, and the city comes alive with that unmistakable buzz of football season.
Because for 80 years, we've been perfecting Buffalo's favorite treat, celebrate National Sponge Candy Day with us!
