Chesebro’s Confections: More Than a Century of North Carolina Candy Craft
Chesebro’s Confections has been making candy in North Carolina since 1910.
More than a century later, the work is still remarkably hands-on.
Copper pots. Open flame. Brittle stretched by hand. Pecans coated and packed by hand in the company’s flagship store in historic downtown Thomasville.
Some candy-making traditions survive because people remember them fondly. This one has survived because Chesebro’s keeps doing the work.
Candy made without shortcuts
There are faster ways to make candy.
Chesebro’s has chosen the ways that leave room for craft.
Its brittle is cooked over an open flame, poured from copper pots, and stretched by hand. Its pecans are coated and packed by hand, carrying the evidence of the people who made them all the way into the finished box.
That process gives each product more than sweetness. It gives it a sense of place, history, and care that mass-produced candy cannot easily imitate.
A Thomasville tradition since 1910
Chesebro’s has been part of North Carolina’s candy story for generations.
Its home in historic downtown Thomasville connects the company to a community with its own long history of making things well. While recipes, packaging, and product lines may evolve, the commitment behind them remains recognizable.
Over a century of craft.
Zero shortcuts.
