Once an institution in New York, Bartons Confections candy is still around.
Founded in 1898, their site says that it was in 1938 that the company was started by Viennese chocolatier Stephen Klein. He started Bartons Salon De Chocolat Shops in the New York area.
We are fans of their peppermint bark.
Sadly, they don’t appear to have any of their own retail stores, though their products are sold in retail stores across the country and online.

I recently purchased 3 Barton Candy molds. Each is about 2 ft long, 1 ft wide…They make from 50 to 75 of so of candies. The antique shop I purchassed them from had written on each tag “made 1913″…Can you tell me more about them (how to use them in a home environment)…..they appear to be made of heavy gauge aluminum…Thanks.

Interested in the history of the Bartons candy company. We carried the Bartons line of kosher for passover candies for many years in our Kosher establishment..as I recall the original company changed ownership sometime in the early 1980′s? We were unable to purchase the kosher candy for awhile. Can you suggest where I might be able to learn more about their history since that time? Thank you so much. Still think there is nothing equal to the “almond Kisses” made at Passover time.

I just purchased a Happy Elf from a garage sale that was still in the package, could you tell me what it is worth or do you still sell these? They are adorable.
