Homemade candy and chocolate from Michigan makers
Fudge, caramels, peanut brittle, toffee, chocolate-covered pretzels and strawberries, and freeze-dried candy, made in Michigan home kitchens. Candy keeps and travels well, so it's a good choice for gifts shipped within the state.

- Hard candy, lollipops and maple candy

Before you order
- Chocolate can melt in transit in summer; ask how the maker packs shipped orders.
- Check for peanuts and tree nuts on the label even in candy that doesn't look nutty.
- Order holiday candy boxes early in December.
- Every home maker offers a chance to talk before you buy, in person or by video. Use it for custom orders and allergy questions.
