We’re all so different. And we’re also the same.

One of the great pleasures of domestic travel in North America is to see, hear and taste the regional differences that characterize us. The places where we live help shape the way we think, the way we talk and even the way we eat. So, while chocolate has always been one of the world’s great passions, the ways in which we indulge that passion vary widely from region to region.

In our 2021 Peter’s Chocolate Calendar, we’re celebrating the great love affair between North Americans and chocolate in all its different shapes, sizes, and flavors. We hope you’ll join us on this journey and feel inspired to recreate some of the specialties we’ve collected along the way.

Peter’s Chocolate is dedicated to assisting retail confectioners during the COVID-19 crisis. As we provide essential ingredients, feed and food that nourish people and animals, we are taking this responsibility very seriously and strive to keep our operations – and yours – running.

As COVID-19 continues to spread around the world, we want to do what we can to help keep you informed of updates and resources available to you during the crisis.

In this effort, we’ve compiled some resources from our partners in the industry to help communicate options. These resources are great collections of COVID-19 updates, business aids, marketing tools, and other useful information.

• Retail Confectioners International  – COVID-19 Guidance for Retail Confectioners

• Candy Industry – Coronavirus Coverage

This is an unprecedented time impacting every individual, business and community. Our thoughts are with anyone who’s been impacted by the virus, especially with those who are sick and under medical care.

Chemistry. Creativity. Craftsmanship. And a dash of entrepreneurial panache.

Becoming a chocolatier of distinction is a matter of combining the right ingredients in just the right proportions. Having perfected that special formula of art, science and business acumen is one important quality that the twelve companies featured on the pages of our 2020 Peter’s Calendar share in common. Another is their choice of Peter’s Chocolate as the cornerstone ingredient of their enterprise.

Each of the twelve businesses exemplifies the qualities we both admire and hope to inspire. Each of them has generously agreed to share some of their secrets of success. We hope their enthusiasm and passion for chocolate helps to inspire yours throughout the year ahead.
