Gertrude Hawk Chocolates | Handcrafted sweets & timeless tradition in Pittston

Gertrude Hawk Chocolates has been crafting high-quality, handcrafted confections since 1936. What began as a small home kitchen project during the Great Depression has grown into a beloved regional brand with retail locations throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey. Known for its signature recipes and dedication to quality, Gertrude Hawk Chocolates continues to delight customers with thoughtful gifts and timeless treats.

Every store offers a wide variety of handcrafted sweets, including the company’s top-selling Smidgens®, Teenie Poppers®, chocolate bars, and assorted gift boxes. Customers can also enjoy fresh-dipped chocolate-covered strawberries, apples, cookies, and pretzels, along with fudge, molded chocolates, and sugar-free options. Seasonal collections and custom gift baskets make Gertrude Hawk a favorite stop for holiday treats, celebrations, and everyday indulgence.

The company also supports schools and organizations through its popular fundraising programs—an effort that honors founder Gertrude Hawk’s original mission to give back to the community. For those looking to connect with the brand’s roots, the flagship factory store is located in Dunmore, where guests can shop, sample, and occasionally enjoy a behind-the-scenes factory tour.
