Harbor Sweets

Chocolate

Fifty years ago, Harbor Sweets' founder, Ben Strohecker, challenged himself to create "the best chocolates in the world, regardless of cost". The result from his kitchen in Marblehead, MA was Sweet Sloops, a sailboat shaped piece of almond butter crunch with white chocolate sails, dark chocolate hull and pecan spindrift washing her sides. Shortly after Ben moved the company out of his basement, and into the brick factory on the Salem, MA waterfront, where they continue to produce delicious handmade chocolates today. Harbor Sweets has grown significantly since its humble beginnings in 1973.

Today, this women-led company employs close to 100 people. The mission continues to be producing the best chocolates in the world with Sweet Sloops and the Nautical Collection remaining the foundation of this growing business. Their most important focus is celebrating the sweetest moments in life with their loyal customers!
