AN ICON REIMAGINED
Big Island Candies first started out in 1977 in a small warehouse on Maka‘ala Street in Hilo, Hawaii, as a manufacturer of chocolate-covered macadamia nuts. And now, 45 years later, we’re so happy that these chocolates are still part of our family of products.
Easily recognized as a symbol of the kind of delicious bliss that Hawaii offers, these chocolates have become a go-to gift, a dependable classic regardless of the decade. Our product line has expanded well beyond the timeless milk chocolate macadamia nut variety. For example:
- Although National Dark Chocolate Day is reserved for February 1, enjoy our Dark Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts throughout the month!
- Same with National Chocolate Mint Day (February 19): Celebrate all month long with a box of individually wrapped Mika Mints. (These also make a great gift for Girls’ Day on March 3rd; FYI: The deadline to order Gifts and goodies to share with those special individuals in your life is February 27.)
- Or you can sample three different creations in our Chocolate Macadamia Nut Trio: Crunch (with crisp rice), Crunchies (with potato chips) and Rocky Road (with marshmallows). Select either Milk or Dark Chocolate.
- Or strike a nice balance between milk and dark chocolate with our Premium Dark Roasted and Salted Macadamia Nut Chocolates Combo. For those watching their sugar intake, there’s Sugar Free Macadamia Nut Chocolates.
- Lastly, making its return to our website, the Macadamia Nut Caramel Cluster, featuring all that gooey goodness!
And, yes, any of these will make delectable Valentine’s gifts for friends, family members, and that extra-special special someone! Or maybe a gift for someone celebrating a February birthday, or a treat for someone in mind you’d like to thank.
