Philadelphia Candies

Philadelphia Candies is a family owned company that has been manufacturing chocolate since 1919. They sell boxed chocolates throughout the year and themed chocolates seasonally for the holidays. Their signature item is the handmade milk chocolate croquette that has either made-from-scratch peanut butter or buttercream filling that's been covered in two layers of milk chocolate and rolled in dry-roasted peanuts. Very decadent.
