Made fresh in Michigan’s little Bavaria
Made in Frankenmuth.
Every batch of Zak & Mac’s chocolate is handcrafted in Frankenmuth, Michigan. From cooking caramel and stirring fudge to enrobing toffee and decorating chocolates, our products are made by people—not an anonymous production line.

How it’s made
Craft shows up in every step.
Recipes and equipment matter, but experienced hands make the difference. Our makers watch texture, temperature, color, and timing from the first stir to the final package.
- 01
Cooked in small batches
Fudge, caramel, brittles, and centers are carefully cooked for the right flavor and texture.
- 02
Finished by hand
Our team cuts, enrobes, decorates, and finishes confections with close attention to every detail.
- 03
Checked for quality
Each batch is inspected before it leaves the kitchen, because consistency should never feel mass-produced.
- 04
Packed fresh
Products are packaged in Frankenmuth and prepared to reach our stores, retail partners, and customers nationwide.
Real ingredients. Local roots.
What goes in matters.
We choose recognizable ingredients—including real butter and locally sourced Pioneer Sugar—because better chocolate starts long before the first bite.
We use Pioneer Sugar, produced close to home from Michigan-grown sugar beets. That partnership supports local agriculture and connects every batch to the community around us.
