Brooke's Candy Co. was being formed long before Brooke knew it. As a teenager she made mints for her sister Dana's wedding shower, only to get an order from a neighbor for more. Brooke also sold out of her Peanut Butter Buckeyes at a local festival .
She grew up, graduated, moved to Northern Illinois, joined the work force, and found her husband Doug. She always remembered her dream to own a candy shop one day.
In 2002, Brooke and her husband moved back to the area where she grew up. Brooke and her mother Donna made her dream come true by starting Brooke's Candy Co. in 2004.
After many hours of research and trying many different chocolates, Brooke and Donna decided on a Belgian chocolate they knew would make their recipes irresistible. After finalizing recipes for their old-fashioned Almond Toffee, Fudge, Pecan Turtles, Belgian Dark Chocolate Brownies and other goodies, they were ready to go.
Now Brooke and her mom have a candy shop at 247 Maple St. (SR 71) Dana, IN set inside a 1900's Plantation style home that Brooke grew up in. Brooke's mother and father worked many years restoring the old home to it's original look and now it is the home of Brooke's Candy Co. Inside they also have a gift shop where you can get gifts for all occasions, greeting cards, candles and much more.
While in town don't forget to visit the Ernie Pyle Museum two blocks south of Brooke's Candy Co.
