Spring has never been so sweet in Ohio’s beautiful Amish Country. Coblentz Chocolate Company invites residents and visitors to their 25th Anniversary Spring Open House May 16, 17 and 18 at both retail locations in Walnut Creek and Berlin. It is an opportune time to stock up on favorites or try for the first time Coblentz’s new Caramel Coconut Patty and the Wunderbare Sea Salt Toffee Candy Bar, the latest confectionary temptations created with carefully chosen ingredients to satisfy the most discriminating palettes. At Coblentz Chocolate Company candy is an affordable luxury according to owner Jason Coblentz. It was with this belief that guided him along with the assistance of wife Mary and brother Mark to build a business that has become a mainstay in Ohio’s Amish Country that remains a favorite for locals and visitors alike. Celebrating 25 years in business, Coblenz Chocolate Company is excited to be in the midst of a yearlong event that began last October on the very day Coblentz opened in 1987. “I’ll always remember that day,” said Coblentz. “It was slow but it didn’t stay that way. The locals all wanted to see the place and our first month in business was a good one.” Coblentz Chocolate Company continues the tradition of quality by making premium chocolates and candies by hand in a facility that can make up to 10,000 pounds of candy a week. In the beginning the Coblentz Chocolate Company had three employees and made 40 varieties of candy. Today they employ 35 and make more than 100 types of candy many of which are made in small batches and still hand-dipped by a skilled staff dedicated to quality. While Coblentz Chocolate Company specializes in candy visitors are delighted to find a shop filled with charming and unique gifts for any occasion that includes specialty coffees, teas, scarves, jewelry, handbags and one-of-a-kind locally made goods. Coblentz Chocolate Company has something special planned for each month during the remainder of the yearlong 25th Anniversary Celebration that allows customers to celebrate alongside the premier chocolate maker that has remained successful thanks to loyal patrons and steadfast community support. The Spring Open House includes prizes and giveaways with a Grand Prize that entitles the winner to a full year supply of chocolate. A First Prize winner will take home a $100 Gift Card and a Coblentz Chocolate Company T-Shirt. A Second Prize winner will receive a $50 Gift Card as well as a T-shirt and the Third Prize can choose ten chocolates and also receive a $10 Gift Card and T-shirt or sweatshirt. All customers in the month of May receive a complimentary candy bar. A live radio broadcast with WQKT gets underway the morning of Sat. May 18. Coblentz Chocolates welcomes summer in June with a buy one get one free offer on all ice cream toppings while in-store customers get a free 8 oz. portion of fudge throughout the month of July. A portion of all store sales will be donated to the Holmes County Training Center in August and in September customers will get three complimentary Buckeyes when they spend $15 on anything in the shop. To conclude the Anniversary Celebration in October customers will receive a free Coblentz Chocolates T-shirt when they spend $50. Join the Coblentz Chocolates staff as they celebrate spring and 25 years in business. Take home a limited edition commemorative plate designed and created by Holmes County Pottery in honor of the 25th Anniversary of Coblenz Chocolate Company and take home a little something sweet as well.
