The Dan Smith Candy Company began as an ice cream company in 1946 on the porch of Dan Smith’s home in Brookville, PA.  Seven years later, encouraged by the success of his ice cream business, Dan decided to expand into making candy.  One of the first candies created?  The coconut and peanut clusters that we still make today.

In 1984, Dan passed the business on to the next generation of his family.  Under the family’s ownership, the factory and the factory store in Brookville continued to flourish.  Stores were also opened in Clarion and Ridgway, PA, offering our quality chocolates and unique gift ideas.

After nearly a decade of strong growth and success under Joe and Amy’s leadership, the business entered an exciting new chapter. In January 2025, Tony Moscato and new General Manager Bobbi Fragale proudly purchased the company. As the new owners, they are honored to build on the strong foundation that was created while bringing fresh energy, creative ideas, and a modern vision to this well known household name for the next generation.
