This week we’re diving into the tastiest ways to celebrate Lunar New Year in Connecticut! From traditional dumplings and savory egg rolls to yummy noodles. Also the tradition, backstory and what these food symbolize for the upcoming year.
Then with Valentine’s Day around the corner, we’re sweetening things up with a guide to the best local chocolate shops in the state.
Lunar New Year
Chocolate Lovers
Connecticut has a rich history with chocolate, especially in the early 20th century, when it
became known as a hub for chocolate manufacturing.
In the late 19th century, Stephen Whitman, a candy maker in Philadelphia, founded Whitman’s
Chocolates in the mid-1800s. In the early 1900s, the company moved its operations to Hartford,
Connecticut. Connecticut is also notable for being the home of The Hershey Company’s early
rival. The Schaefer Chocolate Factory was founded in 1927 in New Haven. It was once a major
chocolate manufacturer before being acquired by larger companies. Another significant player in
Connecticut’s chocolate history is Palmer Candy Company, founded in 1840 in Meriden,
Connecticut. Palmer became well-known for its Easter chocolates, especially its chocolate
bunnies. By the mid-20th century, Connecticut was already home to several successful candy
and chocolate manufacturers, including Fannie May, See’s Candies, and Dum Dum Lollipops.
Today, while many of the original Connecticut chocolate manufacturers have been absorbed by
larger companies or moved elsewhere, Connecticut still maintains a chocolate legacy, with
boutique chocolatiers and local candy companies continuing the tradition.
Since Valentine’s Day is going to creep up before we know it, I wanted to introduce our listeners
to some great local chocolatier and candy companies in CT.
