In 1892 Chester A. Asher founded his candy making business after coming to Philadelphia, from Canada, just two years earlier. The company began in center city Philadelphia, moving to its former location in historical Germantown. Later, the Executive Offices and Shipping were in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania, with the renovated manufacturing facilities in Germantown and Lewistown, Pennsylvania.Plan a Souderton trip in moments using our itinerary builder.
Mr. Asher’s expertise was passed on to the second generation–four sons–who ran the business until 1966. C.A. Asher is still family owned and under the direction of the third and fourth consecutive Asher generations.
Asher’s success story lies in having built a reputation for making quality candy with the freshest and purest ingredients available. Close supervision and direction at the factory, every day, assures that the quality is maintained.
Asher’s offers a wide selection of chocolates and other confections from Pecan Pralines to our award-winning Chocolate Covered Pretzels, and creamy Fudge. We also have one of the largest lines of Sugar Free, Low Sodium Chocolates in the industry.
The tradition of producing fine quality chocolates continues. Asher’s Chocolates is located in their corporate headquarters in Souderton, Pennsylvania. This 125,000 square foot building now houses the Factory, the Executive Offices and Shipping. The specialty lines still remain in Lewistown.

I like some of the Asher's candy, and rather than buying it at a grocery store with limited selection, I go to the factory outlet store where there is a much larger selection. Look for the discount...

We love visiting Asher’s whenever we’re in the area! The kids always love the (free, self-guided) factory tour and picking out seasonal chocolates and candies. Recommend arriving before 3:30 for a tour because that’s when the factory is most active. Very reasonable prices, especially if you can find your favorites in the discounted “hurts” selection. Can’t go wrong with chocolate covered grahams or pretzels. They always have a great selection of Jelly Belly beans, too!

I had an awesome experience purchasing a rushed bulk order from Tammie. She was efficient, easy to talk to and nailed exactly what I was looking for in the order. It was a very reasonable price to get 400 custom goodies and she answered every question I had, from start to finish. They must have an awesome team working in the shop because they really did an outstanding job. Thanks so much!

Asher’s Chocolates are supremely wonderful as is their customer service. I’ve been sending my 88-year old Mum Asher’s jumbo chocolate covered marshmallows for about 3 years now and she adores them. I send my Texas mother-in-law Asher’s chocolate dipped sandwich cookies during hurricane season as they are her go to emergency foodstuff and she says they are A-1. Don’t even get me started on the dark chocolate salted caramels! Truly lovely candies brought to you by nice people.

I have never ordered directly from Asher's but am about to place my first order. I found their Milk Chocolate covered Potato Chips at The Paper Store (another amazing place), and absolutely crowned them the best I have ever had. Some pieces are a bit light with chocolate as opposed to others in the bag that are completely demolished with Chocolate so thick, its a fun challenge to eat the whole thing. The quality of the Chocolate is perfect for these chips and somehow they mastered the ability to still keep the chip pretty crispy. The only bad thing about this product is the ease of ability to obtain them now.... I am hooked and would recommend these to any Novelty Chocolate Fanatic.

Asher’s chocolate factory shoppe is always a MUST and highlight of any visit to PA. The prices are extremely reasonable especially if you go to the seconds racks of “hurt pretzels” that are a bit broken but equally delicious. We love the fact that they have an ample list of gluten free options! Oh the chocolate is so yummy and of high quality! Top favs are peanut butter smoothies which are gluten friendly and dark chocolate dipped pretzels. Such a beautiful shoppe filled with the prettiest affordable gifts for any occasion or holiday from token thank yous for a neighbor or gift exchange, gift basket fillers up to impressive boxed wrapped candies to impress a client or office staff memorably. Old-fashioned candy manufacturers are a rare treasure and Asher’s is worth a trip!
