Chocolate Meltaways
Founding father Kevin Baker might just be the world’s only chocolatier to begin as an aerospace engineer. In the 1980s, Kevin decided to apply the same mechanical genius he had once used to design super-efficient manufacturing systems for missiles to automating and optimizing the art of candy making.
Early on, the Bakers discovered their midwestern customers saw “fine chocolate” as a gift for others, not as a treat for themselves. Paradoxically. the more they spent on fancy packaging, the less chocolate they sold. By individually
wrapping their delectable Meltaways and selling them in clear bags, they found a way to maximize both manufacturing efficiencies and sales.
“Peter’s Chocolate is unquestionably the best chocolate on planet earth. Peter’s milk crumb has no equal.”
“In 1987 we became the first candy company in the world’s history to start with a 100% custom, fully-automated, production process and no recipe.”
