Asher's Chocolate Co. — Restaurant in Franconia Township

I was a covid patient at mount nittany hospital on Christmas day, 2022 and stayed 5 days. I wanted to thank my caregivers there with ashers candy. I called lewistown ashers store and a sweet lady named Val helped me. With a raspy weak voice I gave her a detailed order: 8 one pound boxes of chocolate coveted pretzels and 8 one pound boxes of peanut butter melt aways. The Emergency Room was to get one box of each for the 7 am-7pm nurses and the same order (1 box each) for 7 pm-7am ER nurses and the same instructions for 2nd floor nurses. I recited a note I asked her to put with each box. She didn't just put a little piece of plain paper on the beautifully wrapped gifts...she used lovely Christmas cards in envelopes and labeled them carefully. The gifts were wrapped and tied with a bow and looked AMAZING! It made me proud to give those gifts to the nurse who took me to the car. She said," wow! We are use to getting donut holes or bags of candy from Wal-Mart but not anything like THIS!" She happily went to deliver them. Val from.lewistown Ashers not only followed .my wishes...she went over and above my expectations. I hope she gets recognized for her efforts. I called and thanked her...but I want someone higher up the ladder to know, you have a great employee there. It's one thing to have a good product but if the customer service doesn't match the quality of the product...you don't get repeat orders...I will remember this and do it again if needed.

Asher’s chocolates has been in business since 1892. This makes them one of the oldest running chocolate businesses in the country. Asher’s is still considered a family run business. They take a lot of pride in their products. The raw cocoa beans are made and processed at a plant not too far away, and the liquid chocolate is transported on a truck similar in size to a fuel tank truck to the production factory here in Souderton, PA. Very detailed and meticulous care is followed. From aseptic techniques to make sure all machines are impeccably clean to strict quality control measures to ensure consistency in the quality of each product. All shipments are sent out from the plant, all over the country. Careful supply chain management is followed to make sure every batch is freshly made before shipping. Asher’s has a great reputation for quality chocolates. Very hard to compare to others on the market. You will always find Asher’s at department stores and specialty confectioners. I personally love this brand, and I totally recommend you try some. I love the chocolate...

I have shopped with Asher's for 10 years or so. Their people are courteous, polite, knowledgeable and want to help in any way they can. Their chocolates appear in many commercial candy stores but often their name is not advertised -- you just know from the exquisite taste and the appearance (of course you can confirm with the store management). So there may be the convenience of local outlets for Asher's chocolates but you won't have the pleasure of working with Asher's staff.

In each of the several orders that I have placed, the candies arrive in a timely manner and in perfect condition. In the warmer months, the candies are protected by shipping in dry ice and coolers. Orders may be placed online or by calling one of Asher's retail stores. The retail stores have helped me find candies that I can't find or are not available online and...
