About Us

Welcome to Lucille's Own Make Candies, where sweet traditions have been crafted since 1927. Our story began in the heart of Philadelphia, where Carl and Lucille Eismann first started handcrafting delectable candies with love and passion. Over the years, our family-owned business has not only upheld the rich heritage of artisanal candy-making but also embraced innovation and expansion.

In the spirit of growth and opportunity, Lucille's Own Make Candies transitioned to Manahawkin, New Jersey, bringing our time-honored recipes and dedication to quality to a new community. Here, amidst the coastal charm and vibrant atmosphere, we continued to flourish, captivating locals and visitors alike with our irresistible treats.

As we evolved, so did our commitment to excellence. Embracing the demand for our beloved confections, we proudly opened a second location in Brant Beach, Long Beach Island (LBI), further extending our reach and sharing the joy of Lucille's candies with even more candy enthusiasts.

For four generations, Lucille's Own Make Candies has remained a beacon of sweetness, a testament to family values, and a cherished part of the communities we serve. Each batch of candies is crafted with the same care, expertise, and attention to detail that Lucille instilled in our family decades ago.
