Hoffman's Chocolates is a manufacturer of chocolates in Florida. The business is based in Greenacres, Florida and includes several retail locations in South Florida.

Hoffman's has been a favorite local brand for residents of Palm Beach County and is especially popular with the substantial Jewish population as a source of Kosher O-U chocolates.[1]

Established in 1975, Hoffman's is the largest manufacturer of chocolate in Florida.[2] Randall Vitale is the President of Hoffman's Chocolates.[3]

The Hoffman's Chocolates factory was a tourist destination that included a 30 ft observation window of operations.

The company makes elaborate December holiday displays and offers products such as gift baskets and chocolate covered pretzels. Offerings include the "Snoodle" and Pecan Caramel "Jitterbugs."
