Nutmeggers have a true appreciation for the best things in life—especially when it comes to chocolate. While there are many incredible candy shops all over the state, Fascia’s Chocolates in Waterbury is known for making nostalgic treats that make you feel like a kid again.

Fascia’s Chocolates has been handcrafting some of the best chocolate in Connecticut since 1964. For more than 50 years, this family-owned chocolate shop has been known for its old-fashioned chocolate recipes and fabulous chocolate tasting events.

John and Helen Fascia started their chocolate-making business in the basement of their home to earn some extra money. Today, it has expanded into a three-generation family-run business.

Fascia’s high-quality chocolate is made in small batches using an old-fashioned process. The chocolate is hand-stirred through a large copper kettle. Afterward, it is cooled off on marble slabs.

After the chocolate is cooled, it is molded by hand. No matter what kind of chocolate you crave, you will find something that will satisfy you.
