The most unique, delicious, home-made chocolate candies can be found at Debrand Fine Chocolates in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Did you consider their truffles, turtles, carmel/chocolate apples/bark/candied pretzlesice cream sauces, etc. They are a locally owned company and have fabulous goodies to offer. Please consider them in the future.
