BROOKFIELD, Conn. — Bridgewater Chocolates has been in Brookfield for 25 years, and in those years, they've grown quite the reputation.
"They're the best," said Kelly Burns, who has been working with the company for 13 years.
The chocolates created here are a combination of different flavors from across the globe!
"I came to the United States noticing how much people love chocolate in this country," said Erik Landegren, one of the owners of Bridgewater Chocolates. "But I also noticed that it was very different from how I grew up in Europe."
Landegren then used his European roots to create a style of chocolate unique from what we're used to in America.

"I saw an opportunity to combine the [flavors]," said Landegren. "So we make what I call American style chocolate but with some of the European traditions in terms of how we make it and what ingredients we use."
The result makes these chocolates a fan favorite.
