Dorothy Cox Chocolates in Fall River hosting open house; see how they make the delicious product and make your own

Possibly the best smelling spot in the City of Fall River is giving the public a glimpse of how they operate with some fun activities to match.

Dorothy Cox Chocolates is hosting an open house November 26th from 1 PM to 4 PM. You can see how they make their chocolates as well as sample and make your own candy bars. More activities will be announced.

Dorothy Cox opened their new store and manufacturing facility just before Christmas of 2021 at the former 27,000 square foot Save A Lot building at 100 Griffin Street.

The founder, Mary Dorothy Cox, was a Fall River native who started selling her chocolates in 1928 after making them in her kitchen. 3rd and 4th generation candy makers currently use family recipes to create their chocolates.
