Did you know that Koppers Chocolate, a third-generation family business, is perhaps the most respected specialty panner of gourmet chocolates in the world? In its own quiet way, Koppers has been producing award winning panned dragees since 1937 right in the heart of New York City's vibrant Greenwich Village. Koppers is acknowledged to have almost single-handedly "created" most of the gourmet panned chocolate that we all now know and enjoy. For example, Koppers originated the Chocolate-Covered Espresso Bean over 35 years ago (it now produces over 30 varieties) and is recognized for setting the worldwide trend of marrying fine chocolate with coffee.
