"I grew up in Woodstock. Since then I've lived in Manhattan, down South, Los Angeles, where I live now, and have also been around a bit out of the country. I've had chocolate in all those places.Your chocolate is better than Godiva or any other overpriced stuff from Belgium or wherever the good stuff is supposed to come from. The good stuff comes from Saugerties!"

- Peter Kaminski

 Welcome to Krauseschocolates.com. The Krause family has been making exceptional candies for over 77 years. Owner Karl Krause is a third generation confectioner who uses his grandfather's recipes and hand-dipping techniques. Each chocolate is a unique creation made in our own candy store. It's no wonder our loyal customers rave, 'It's the best chocolate they've ever had!'.

 There are over fifty varieties of unique, hand-dipped chocolates, an assortment of flavors of creamy homemade fudge and melt-in-your-mouth peanut brittle. Most varieties are available in milk or semi-sweet chocolate. The premium chocolate Karl uses originated with a Swiss formula and taste, above all else, is paramount. The milk chocolate, as its name implies, contains more milk and is lighter and sweeter than the robust, stronger flavored semi-sweet chocolate.

 Unlike cheaper quality chocolates, which contain waxes or oils, Karl's choice of chocolate has a rich flavor with no unpleasant after-taste. He uses only freshly roasted nuts and the finest imported dried fruits from around the world.

 


Savory favorites like caramel, butter crunch and peanut brittle contain only the freshest ninety-three score butter. Cream centers are made with pure cane sugar, egg-white frappe, real fruit and fruit oils. Karl strives to use natural flavors and colors whenever possible. Whether you prefer tender, light marshmallow, moist, exotic coconut or old-fashioned peanut butter, Krause's chocolates are the best you'll ever taste.

  Karl offers a large variety of chocolate novelties, custom molded items and seasonal treats. There are chocolate heart boxes, heart-shaped caramels, Easter bunnies, chocolate Thanksgiving turkeys and chocolate santas for Christmas. Chocolate champagne bottles, birthday and thank you bars, and chocolate pops for every occasion make great gifts. Favors for weddings, showers, anniversaries and parties are available. Businesses and organizations may have molds designed to create chocolate bars with their own logo. The possibilities are endless and the quality unparalleled.
