About Fannie May

The first Fannie May retail store was opened by H. Teller Archibald in 1920 at 11 N. LaSalle St. in Chicago. By 1935, there were nearly four dozen retail stores in Illinois and several neighboring states. Through the years Fannie May developed candies that went on to become favorites that were often the center of many family and holiday traditions.
Fannie May(r) Pixies(r) were first made in 1946 by hand-pouring caramel over nuts and then placing them on a conveyor belt to be drenched in chocolate. That same commitment to the quality of recipes continues today, with most of the same ingredients coming from the same suppliers for many years now. Quality has always been the driving force behind the making of Fannie May chocolates. Fannie May's growing popularity as a premium quality product is due to their innovative approaches in manufacturing, advertising and packaging. Fannie May stands by all its products and for over 88 years has provided high quality gourmet chocolates with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. In May of 2006 Fannie May joined the 1-800-FLOWERS.COM family of brands.
