In 2026, Watson’s Chocolates is turning 80 years old and we couldn’t have done it without you. Since 1946, families across Western New York (and far beyond!) have shared life’s sweetest moments with a box of Watson’s by their side from Sunday visits and wedding favors to care packages sent to loved ones who’ve moved away.

As we celebrate eight decades of Buffalo’s favorite chocolate traditions, we’re creating a video that tells the real story of Watson’s, your story.

We want to hear how Watson’s has played a part in your life and your family’s traditions. Maybe it’s a childhood memory of visiting our stores, a yearly Sponge Candy shipment to your college student, or a moment of comfort during the holidays. Big or small, these stories are what make Watson’s more than a chocolatier — they make us part of your story.

If you’d like to share your Watson’s memory on camera, we’d love to feature you in our upcoming 80th Anniversary video!

🎥 Participants will be paid in chocolate, of course.

Whether you’ve been a Watson’s fan for 80 years or just discovered us last week, we’d be honored to include your voice in this celebration.

👉 Interested? Email us at info@watsonschocolates.com with a short note about your favorite Watson’s memory and why you’d like to be part of the video.

Here’s to 80 years of chocolate, family, and Buffalo tradition, and to all the sweet stories still to come.
