On Wilbur Buds:

“Wonderful bits of goodness made under a formula more than 50 years old to produce a rich dark vanilla chocolate of outstanding character.”

A Small Chocolate Drop with a Big Following

When H.O. Wilbur first concocted Wilbur Buds in 1894, he hardly could have predicted his signature treat would be savored for generations.

Back then, chocolate was commonly manufactured as bars. His velvety smooth drops, made by pouring a rich chocolate blend into intricate metal molds, were a deliciously simple alternative. These “Buds” were named for their flower-like silhouette and came to fame for their rich, creamy flavor.

So much has changed since then. And yet Wilbur Buds remain comfortingly familiar. They’re still made according to Mr. Wilbur’s timeless recipe and deliver that classic taste families keep falling in love with.
