Since 1929, Stowaway Sweets has been a beloved New England tradition, delighting generations with our handcrafted chocolates. Nestled within a picturesque garden in Marblehead, Massachusetts, our shop has remained a cherished destination for nearly a century.

For three generations, our chocolatiers have meticulously hand-dipped chocolates using our original recipes, ensuring that every piece maintains the same quality and excellence that first captivated our customers. Our reputation for exquisite chocolates has spread far beyond Marblehead, attracting loyal patrons from around the world.

Stowaway Sweets has proudly served an impressive clientele, including Queen Elizabeth, Winston Churchill, President Calvin Coolidge—who favored our French Mint Fudge—and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Our walls are adorned with original correspondence from these esteemed figures, a testament to the lasting appeal of our chocolates. Over the years, our confections have continued to earn admiration from Hollywood icons such as Katharine Hepburn, Barbra Streisand, Sandra Bullock, and Oprah Winfrey.

Today, under the leadership of Don and Emily DeWitt, Stowaway Sweets continues to honor its rich heritage while embracing the future. Don, a trained Executive Chef and Chocolatier with experience in New York City’s top restaurants, brings his culinary expertise to our chocolate-making process. Emily, whose first job was at Stowaway Sweets, returned to her roots after a career in film, fashion, and food, ensuring that the artistry and tradition of our chocolates remain unchanged.

We invite you to explore our history and experience the tradition that has made Stowaway Sweets a treasured destination for nearly 100 years.
