Easter is a wonderful time to share with family. So many of us grew up making lasting memories together at Easter, whether it was expressing our gratitude at the dinner table or having some fun with an Easter egg hunt. Lerro Candy also shares a family history surrounding the founding of their business and heritage.
In the late 1800's, John Lerro's great-grandfather started making candy and ice cream as part of the family business. In 1916, he moved the business into a Philadelphia storefront and it was there the first Lerro's candy made its debut. As a family affair, even John Lerro's great-grandmother coated candy each and every chocolate by hand.
John Lerro's father and uncle continued the family passion for many years after. They relocated the candy production outside of Philadelphia, and another generation later, their candies are still being produced there today for families to enjoy!
Celebrate in three generations of candy-making with some of Lerro's candy this Easter. Place some of their chocolate eggs in your Easter baskets like their Pecan Nut Egg or Coconut Easter Egg for a sweet treat with tradition. We also offer their peanut butter option in an 8oz Easter Egg or in a 12 count package.
Enjoy these traditional Easter candies knowing an entire family's history and heritage was dedicated to perfecting them!
