Carol Widman’s Candy®

About Us

The original Widman tradition of handmade quality candy spans four generations, originating in 1885 in Dubuque, IA with William Widman I. Four generations have allowed the Widman family to develop a special quality of product and unique use of ingredients, including our famous chocolate-covered potato chips or “chippers”.
