The Art of Giving.
To receive a gift of Big Island Candies is to be transported to a special place. The packaging is exquisite. The taste is divine. As unique as a rare, tropical flower. As fresh as an island breeze.

The spirit of giving inspires our family of employees. Each day, we work hard to create the perfect gift. Every item in every box is expertly made, perfectly placed and beautifully presented.

A Legend Since 1977.
Big Island Candies was established in 1977 to manufacture and market fine quality macadamia nut candies and cookies using 100 percent Hawaii-grown macadamia nuts and Kona coffee, island eggs, real butter and high-grade chocolate. Since its founding, Big Island Candies has continuously introduced new and imaginative products that “wow” both the eyes and taste buds of its growing legion of fans.

All of our products are made with pride at our chocolate factory, gift shop, and headquarters in Hilo, Hawaii. Please visit us if you can. Our gift shop is open 365 days a year from 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Factory operation is viewable between the hours of 8:30 a.m. - 3:45 p.m.

When you come, you will be greeted at the door with “aloha,’ complimentary Kona coffee, and chocolate and cookie samples. Through large glass windows, you will be able to see for yourself how island flavors are mixed and dipped by hand to ensure the quality of all Big Island Candies' products.

If you can't come in person, you can still experience our Aloha Spirit and share it with others by ordering from our catalog or from this Web site. Mahalo, thank you, for visiting bigislandcandies.com!
