About Maxwell's:
Founded in 1993, Maxwell's is a small band of gourmet candy craftsmen who thinks the devil is in the details.

What we do:
We produce a distinctive product line from a local and global network of suppliers. We select from the finest and freshest peanuts in North Carolina and Virginia, the largest, tastiest pecans from Texas and Georgia, and incredible cashews from India, and combine them with the finest European chocolate to create a line of salty-sweet treats like chocolate-covered pecans, chocolate covered peanut and cashew brittles, and much more.

We are fanatical about our selection of ingredients, and we have small production runs based on actual, not anticipated, orders. We don't outsource—all our products are made in-house, by hand, in our production facility in Raleigh, North Carolina. We roast and bake our products ourselves to ensure the desired quality and freshness we expect. That's why our nuts are the crunchiest, our chocolate is the smoothest and our brittle is the tastiest.
