Delightful, Delicious DeBrand
Photo credit: DeBrand Fine Chocolates
Cathy Brand-Beere started making candy when she was 8 years old. She sold the sweet treats to her classmates in elementary school and continued through high school, encouraged and inspired by her parents, who owned a confectionery supply store. Though she made all different sorts of candies, cakes and other goodies, Cathy was particularly drawn to chocolate. In 1987, she decided to pursue that passion and launched her company, DeBrand Fine Chocolates. From sourcing cocoa from Peru to experimenting with sea salt caramels, Cathy has combined her natural talent for chocolate-making with the best international and local ingredients, and the people of Indiana can’t seem to get enough. With five locations and nearly 100 employees, DeBrand Fine Chocolates produces a variety of delicious delicacies, including truffles, chocolate boxes, peanut butter cups, mints and more. To taste for yourself, visit one of their shops in Fort Wayne or Indianapolis, or order online at debrand.com.

I only had DeBrand Chocolates one time, and have “lusted” after them for a long time! Chocolate and peanut butter are my favorites, but I’ve never met a truffle I didn’t like.
