HISTORY
Our History
Edelweiss Chocolates has been a Beverly Hills tradition since 1942. The original shop and factory opened on N. Cañon Drive as Candy Round-Up during Hollywood’s golden age.
The early kitchen became known for American chocolate-shop classics, including marshmallows, pecan chews, English toffee, buttercreams, nut clusters, and molded chocolates. In the 1970s, Candy Round-Up became Edelweiss Candy Kitchen, and truffles, marzipan, and chocolate-covered fruits joined the collection.
Although Beverly Hills has changed considerably, Edelweiss continues crafting chocolates at the original location. The business remains local and family-run, preserving long-standing recipes while continuing to develop new flavors and gifts.
Generations of customers have made Edelweiss part of birthdays, holidays, business gifting, and family traditions. That relationship—with both longtime customers and first-time visitors—remains at the center of the business today.
