About Dillon Candy Company

Over one hundred “sweet” years and counting! Confections have been produced by the Dillon family since 1918 and are still made using procedures much the same. Small batches are hand stirred and cooked in copper kettles. Brittles are hand stretched. Nut rolls are hand worked utilizing only the finest pecans, cashews, and peanuts. Each step in the candy making process is carefully monitored to ensure consistently high quality. The quality of Dillon’s candies is virtually impossible to achieve in highly automated, mass-production processes. This is strikingly demonstrated by the Company’s specialty, pecan and peanut brittles. These incredibly thin and crisp, golden pieces of candy invariably bring forth the comment, “Your brittle is the best I’ve ever eaten!” Gourmet Pecan Rolls, which consist of a light, fluffy nougat center, are dipped in rich caramel and then rolled in fancy pecan pieces. Dillon’s rolls have elevated this traditional Southern confection to new heights of quality and taste and are the benchmark by which other pecan rolls are measured. Present owner and President, Tom Cook, states that quality is foremost at Dillon Candy Company — quality in products, quality in presentations, quality in service and quality in customer relations. Cook summarizes the Company’s philosophy as follows: “Produce the best quality candy possible by using the highest quality ingredients and sell at a price which delivers a good value to our customers.” SQF CertifiedRead their story
