Wilbur Chocolate is a Pennsylvania-based family business with a successful retail operation that sells handcrafted small-batch sweets, chocolate presents, and—its main offering—silky smooth Wilbur Buds.

Today, the Wilbur Chocolate Store and former factory (now The Wilbur Lititz hotel) are beloved local landmarks.

wilbur chocolate in lititz pa

The company’s ethos, as embodied by the popular Wilbur Bud, is simple: Exceptional chocolate shouldn’t be complicated. The velvety smooth drop has a look that’s inspired by a flower bud and a refined, distinctive taste that’s inspired by fine cocoa. Available in both semisweet and milk chocolate varieties, the Wilbur Bud is still made according to Mr. Wilbur’s original recipe and manufactured in the heart of Central Pennsylvania.

To make its full line of treats, which also includes bars, baking ingredients, and chocolate-dipped creations, Wilbur Chocolate lets simple ingredients shine. Sustainably sourced cocoa beans, fine dairy, and real vanilla combine to create unmistakably rich chocolate that families have fallen in love with for more than 135 years.

Wilbur Chocolate Store Lititz PA

Plan your tour of Lititz around a visit to the Wilbur Chocolate Store, home to an on-site kitchen where confections are mixed, drizzled, and dipped by hand. You’ll find a mouthwatering array of truffles, caramels, barks, toffees, and more—as well as those famous Wilbur Buds.

About our Business: Today, the Wilbur Chocolate Store remains a wonderful place to visit, shop, and learn about the world of chocolate and get a glimpse into the rich history of the confectionery industry! The store is a special place to enjoy when planning your trip to beautiful Lititz, PA, which is located in the heart of Lancaster County.

Description:

For all chocolate lovers…..when you visit Lancaster County or are in Lititz, PA. it is a MUST for you to stop at the Wilbur Chocolate factory. It is a favorite of Lancaster County residents.

You will smell the aroma of chocolate as you come into town. Park in the parking lot across the street and take the steps to the old brick building in which the company was founded in 1854. From here, 150 million pounds of chocolate are produced each year by this private company.

Here you will enjoy a large selection of chocolate specialties with the Wilbur buds being their popular specialty. The Wilbur bud, blended in a mold resembling a flower bud, was introduced in 1893. It is not wrapped but has the name WILBUR on the bottom of the chocolate. The Hershey kiss debuted 14 years later and closely resembles a Wilbur but, but in my viewpoint, is no comparison.

When you step inside the store, you may hear the humming sounds of the machinery in the plant located above the store. There is also an Americana museum with more than 1,000 varieties of antique candy molds, cocoa tins, copper kettles, etc. displayed that stir memories of yesteryear. There is a candy kitchen where you can see handmade chocolate creations including a peanut butter meltaways, fudge, or almond butter crunch.

It’s a great place to stock up on rich silky chocolates, coating chocolate or chocolate chips in both dark. white or milk chocolate while you are there. It is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, closed on Sunday.

From the Author: This chocolate is the best you can find - the dark chocolate Wilbur buds are outstanding. This is chocolate that softly melts in your mouth. Taste one Wilbur Bud and you'll never want a "kiss" again!! The buds are addicting. There's nothing quite like the Wilbur buds.

Obsessed with the mud puppies! These are the absolute best chocolates in the case, in my opinion. I get them everytime I come to your shop! Eating one right now.

Wilbur's has the best chocolate by far than any other chocolate company I can think of. Their Shah Bars are pretty fabulous. Their spicy candies are amazing.

We came up from Connecticut for a tour and it was fantastic. Everyone was so nice. We learned a lot about chocolate. Definitely worth a trip.

TONS of choices!!! Gift items & souvenirs..licorice, white chocolate, dark chocolate, sea salt caramels...so much to pick from. Staff is friendly and helpful.

A great little gem in Maine! We visited Wilbur's of Maine and did the factory tour. It was fun and informative! The chocolate shop has so much great product for sale besides chocolate too.

Unbelievable. I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, but I was breathless at the intoxicating smells, tastes, and sounds of this culinary Meca of chocolate from the beautiful state of Maine.
