Miesse Candies & Chocolate Factory Tour
Since 1875, generation after generation has developed a loyal affection for the fresh, handcrafted assortment of rich chocolates made by Miesse Candies.
A Lancaster County original, the dedicated Miesse chocolatiers take great pride in using natural ingredients, including real cocoa butter and no preservatives.
As they have done for more than 135 years, all of 
their nuts, fruits, and peanut butter balls are dipped by hand, the old-fashioned way. Customers can see the chocolate making process firsthand with a tour of the newest Miesse factory store location in downtown Lancaster City at the captivating Steeple View Lofts, just steps away from Gallery Row.
