Stutz Candy Company was started in the early 1930's by Joe and Mary Stutz when they created the special recipes for each of the delicious center pieces of chocolates that are still produced  to this day.  Joe, along with Mary, worked the business as a start-up company making and selling their chocolates from their garage in Jenkintown borough, Pennsylvania. In 1938, after building the business and out growing the facilities in their garage, they set up the factory and their first retail store down the street from their home.
