This Buffalo staple dates back to 1938. Founder Carl Platter decided to make chocolate, which is what friends and family said he did best. Without a storefront, Carl’s wife Vera went door to door throughout the town selling orange chocolate. The couple made their chocolate affordable, delighting families with a special “treat” during difficult times. What started in the basement of his North Tonawanda, NY home, transformed into a full-fledged business located at the Wurlitzer Building!
Platter sold the business to Roger Urban in 1972. Since then, people have indulged in the best chocolate Western New York has to offer! Following multiple customers suggestions in expanding the chocolate variety, Urban purchased Betty Dixon Candies. With the addition, Platter’s chocolate variety expanded to creams, caramels, jellies, and their signature sponge candy.
The chocolate factory is not just Willy Wonka’s dream — but a bride & groom’s dream, too! First of all, not only is chocolate a hit at ANY social event, but Platter’s also offers sweet consultations for special events. Events like a bridal shower, engagement party, rehearsal dinner, wedding reception, we could go on! Giving the gift of a sweet treat or chocolate favor is perfect for all occasions! There’s even an option of customizing a chocolate favor for the event!. For instance, clients can customize a chocolate bar to a shape of their choice with a name, logo, initials, and more.
Also, you have the option to mix and match and choose different assortments, adding those personalized touches for your Valentine. This is a great opportunity to show your boo that you care and ACTUALLY pay attention to their chocolate habit! Do they enjoy sponge candy? Maybe they want a little orange, citrusy moment mixed in with their assortment. PRO TIP: If you’re not sure what type of chocolate your significant other likes, grab a bunch and then just say the rest are for you! Snag a nice card and you’re set.
