Hoffman’s Chocolates — A Family Tradition of Legendary Chocolates
Hoffman’s Chocolates have been a staple in the Lake Worth area for over 30 years. Who knew one of the finest chocolate shops in the country was right here in our own backyard! The company is housed in the only Tudor style building on Lake Worth Road with the factory behind the retail store. There is even a glass window dividing the two so you can watch the candy makers at work, which is particularly fun when they are making specialty holiday candy.
Regularly cited in national culinary magazines, Hoffman’s confections are all hand made using time-honored family recipes and old-world craftsmanship. When Paul Hoffman started this company with his family, he made a commitment to use only the finest and freshest ingredients from around the world. To that end, tasters are sent to various international locations to sample the ingredients. They have been getting their chocolate from as far as Africa, and their coffee from as close as Costa Rica, and creating the most innovative products in the chocolate industry! In fact, I’m told they are also developing an organic line of chocolates and coffees.
When you walk into any of their stores, you are compelled to stop and take a deep breath; customers are enveloped in the most wonderful scent of chocolate. After shopping, there are some other great sites to see while you are visiting Hoffman’s Chocolate Factory. Each year, several thousand visitors come to look at the Christmas display in the gardens behind the factory. During the rest of the year the garden has an array of seasonal flowers and native Florida plants. Whatever time of year, though, it makes a great trip.
