Our Story

Woman-Owned Chocolate Company Since 1995

It all began with a humble bridge table, a microwave, and a crock pot — and a spark of inspiration.

In no time, what started as a simple hobby blossomed into Frann Edley's dream to build something truly her own. On March 1, 1995, Sugar Plum Chocolates opened its doors in Northeast Pennsylvania, and with it began a delicious journey centered around one heartfelt mission: to spread joy, one bite at a time.

Together with her son, Neil, Frann founded Sugar Plum with a commitment to quality, creativity, and customer care. That dedication quickly turned a small local candy shop into a growing family-run business. Just one year later, Sugar Plum launched its very first website, and by 2000, their handcrafted treats were delighting customers nationwide.

For over 30 years, the Edley family has continued to do what they love most — creating premium chocolate confections using only the finest ingredients. Whether it’s a birthday, wedding, client gift, or just because, Sugar Plum has become a trusted part of life’s sweetest celebrations.

From the start, Frann envisioned Sugar Plum as an independent, woman-owned business focused on making a positive impact. That mission remains at the heart of everything they do — offering high-quality, delicious gifts that bring people together.

Over the years, Sugar Plum has been featured in Women’s Day, Bridal Guide, PARADE Magazine, USA Today, and even The Today Show. With a seamless online shopping experience and handcrafted gift baskets available year-round, Sugar Plum continues to deliver joy 24/7, 365 days a year.

From major holidays to baby showers, from corporate gifts to fully customized baskets — Sugar Plum is here to help you turn everyday moments into lasting memories.

Thank you for being a part of our journey. We’re honored to be a part of your special moments.

With gratitude,
Frann Edley
