Your online resource for the Smoky Mountains
When you're strolling through the historic streets of downtown Dillsboro, North Carolina, the enticing aroma of fresh cocoa in the air will lead you straight to the Dillsboro Chocolate Factory. Housed in a charming shop, this beloved local confectionery offers a world filled with handmade chocolates, fresh fudge, nostalgic candy classics, and unique Smoky Mountain gifts.
One of the shop's most famous creations—an edible chocolate toasting cup filled with rich chocolate ganache and infused with a touch of alcohol (less than 3% ABV). Available in flavors ranging from Apple Martini to Irish Creme, it’s akin to an open-faced truffle.
Features an extensive selection of chocolates made fresh daily, from artisanal truffles and barks to unique specialties like the Aztec “Spicy” Turtle (pecans, caramel, dark chocolate, and a kick of spice) and Dark Peanut Butter Ritz Crackers (salty Ritz crackers spread with creamy peanut butter and enrobed in dark chocolate).
Made on-site in small batches, offering a variety of rich, creamy flavors perfect for taking home as a souvenir.
Stocked with favorites for all ages, including Jelly Belly jellybeans, jawbreakers, jujubes, licorice, and chocolate-covered espresso beans.
Features a curated selection of gifts celebrating the Great Smoky Mountains alongside local keepsakes and treats.
