Bartons Candy and Chocolate

December 22nd, 2008 · 1 Comment

Bartons Candy and ConfectionersOnce 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.

They are at:

Bartons Confections
1035 Mill Road
Allentown, PA 18106
800-570-6099

    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.
