Saratoga Sweets Chocolates, Truffles, and More

About Saratoga Sweets

Saratoga Sweets first opened for business in late November 1988 in historic Saratoga Springs, NY. Back then we produced a small variety of handmade chocolates, most made right in the window of our Caroline Street shop. It was during that first holiday season that we were approached by our local historical society regarding a “lost” holiday tradition called the Peppermint Pig™ (see Peppermint Pig™ tale). Using borrowed candy molds and the original recipe, about 100 Peppermint Pigs™ were made just in time for sale that Christmas Eve Day. We were greeted that snowy morning by a crowd of Saratogians of all ages gleefully waiting to get their first Peppermint Pig™ in over 50 years. While we didn’t have nearly enough pigs to go around, all were happy that the Peppermint Pigs™ had returned.

Since that first Christmas season, our production in both chocolates and Peppermint Pigs™ has grown tremendously. Saratoga Sweets proudly offers over 100 different types of chocolates, truffles and novelties and last holiday season over 120,000 Peppermint Pigs™ were made in our new candy kitchen in Halfmoon, NY Just south of Saratoga Springs.

With a year ‘round crew of 10 candy makers (that grows to 24 for the holidays), all of us at Saratoga Sweets are committed to making your candy the freshest, tastiest and most traditional candy you’ve ever eaten.

If you’re in the area, especially around Christmas, stop by – we’d love to tell you all about the famous Peppermint Pigs™ and show you how we make ‘em !
