There are four main qualities that make this a must visit stop or regular go-to: 1. Quality - all of the fudges and chocolates and candies are made there (it also houses an assortment of Penny Candy and hard to find specialty commercial candy) and the freshness and taste are as good if not way better than handmade chocolate stores you've been to. 2. Creativity - they make the cutest most creative candy themed novelties I've ever seen! From full-form hollowed out "smash items" that spill out candies or truffles when smashed with a mini hammer, to small little creative inventions, truly the heart and spirit of Wonka! 3. Price - for the quality and craftsmanship of what you get, the price attached is clearly too cheap! It's obvious to me and any of my friends that have come in that these chocolates and novelties should go for a lot more and no one knows this more than the owners and they are okay with that! They feel many local "Specialty Chocolatiers" produce an okay product and gouge their customers with prices. Take a look for yourself and you'll agree, The Price is Right! 4. The Owners - here you have a couple that has lived with one another and for the last 30 years plus have worked with one another every day. He is a true character and a hoot and she I think is the brains behind all the good stuff and she puts up with him; it's truly is an entertainment experience to go into their store. The love they have for their chocolate and one another envelopes you when you walk in the shop. There was no sixth star I could offer so five was the best I could do

Came out happy. Here is the history of Gertrude Hawk Chocolates: The company was started by Gertrude Jones Hawk in 1936. Hawk began her career at the age of 12 after the death of her father. She took a job in a candy shop and later began making chocolates in the kitchen of her home in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Following World War II, her son Elmer Hawk invested his service pay in the fledgling business enabling the family to purchase mechanical chocolate making equipment. The family also used their products in fundraising sales through area churches and schools. In 1959, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation took Gertrude's home for an Interstate 81 bridge. The family bought a piece of land in Dunmore, Pennsylvania and built a factory there that opened in 1962. In addition to the factory, the building housed a full-service restaurant and a retail area. The restaurant was converted into a candy shop in 1973. In 1988, the company constructed the Gertrude Hawk Corporate Center. The company is now a $90 million annual business with four divisions. It employs over 1,000 people and operates 75 Gertrude Hawk Chocolates Chocolate Shops throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York.
