Jo's Candies branded items do not contain artificial colors or flavors.
Are your products Kosher?

Can I buy chocolate at your facility?

What do you use to color your candies?
Coloring in our products comes from beet powder, cabbage extract, and other fruit and vegetable powders and extracts.
Do you have any gluten free items?
All of our confections are produced in a facility where ingredients containing gluten are processed. However, many of our candies do not have wheat as a direct ingredient. Please double check ingredient listings. We do not recommend our products if you have severe allergies to tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, eggs, and dairy.
What about my severe nut allergy?
We are pretty "nutty" here at Jo's and not afraid to admit it! Our facility processes nuts including tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, and dairy. We do have candies that do not have nuts as a direct ingredient. Please double check ingredient listings. We do not recommend our products if you have severe allergies as our facility processes allergens including peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, eggs, and dairy.
Do you have any sugar free items?
Unfortunately, we do not offer sugar free items at this time.
What is ethically sourced cocoa?
Our cocoa is sustainably sourced from suppliers that employ best practices to improve the livelihoods of cocoa farmers and their communities. Every purchase of products containing our Ethically Sourced Cocoa helps direct funds to these communities.
What's the best way to store my chocolate?
We'd like to think our candies are so good you won't want to wait around too long to eat them all! If you do need to store them, do NOT put them in the refrigerator, or else the chocolate may bloom when you take it out. Chocolate is best stored between 50-60 degrees fahrenheit and we think our products taste best when enjoyed within a month of purchase.
What's your most popular product?
Year after year, we sell more chocolate covered grahams than anything else. But people always seem to disagree about what our best product is--the Jo's Family is evenly split between Team Graham, Team Salted Caramel, Team Toffee. And our Peppermint Bark is pretty popular too!
Do you offer tours?
Unfortunately, we aren't permitted to offer tours to the public.
Will you donate to my school/church/charity?
