The family business expanded over the decades, with the second generation joining in the 1950s and the third generation opening a dedicated chocolate factory in 1973. The fourth generation of chocolatiers grew up within the business, maintaining the tradition of making premium chocolates. Current menu items reflect this heritage, featuring limited-time classics like All-American Apple Pie, Root Beer Float, and Southern Banana Pudding. Signature shakes include the Chocolate Cake Shake, Campfire S’mores, and Cookie Jar, while gourmet options feature Bananas Foster and Chocolate Raspberry Truffle. The shop also offers group gifting options such as Chocolate Gathering Boards and Sharable Snacking Trios, featuring handcrafted barks cut into bite-sized pieces for sharing.
