Gourmet Candy Making 101

The Highest Quality Candies Since 1930

Kehr’s Candies makes the highest quality, handmade old-fashioned chocolates in Milwaukee. What began as a way to earn some extra money in 1930 quickly became a delicious family business. Pearl and B.D. Kehr opened a new candy kitchen on W. Lisbon Avenue in Milwaukee in 1940. Kehr’s continues to create their varying assortments of fine chocolates at that same location today.

The Rich History of Kehr’s Candies

B.D. Kehr began Kehr’s Candy Kitchen with his wife Pearl. B.D. and Pearl set up shop in their home, with a store in the front and a candy kitchen in the back. The tradition established decades ago continues under the current owner, Paul Martinka. After one day of work as a Kehr’s stock boy in 1983, Paul realized the passion he had for the candy store. Today, Paul ensures each piece of candy is made using the recipes that Kehr’s used all the way back in 1930. Our original recipes include:Gourmet chocolates in Milwaukee

Continuing the Legacy of B.D. Kehr

As the owner of Kehr’s Candies, Paul Martinka remains personally involved in the candy making process, ensuring the company continues the legacy established by B.D. Kehr in 1930. Not only do our chocolatiers use the same recipes, we use many of the exact same tools that B.D. Kehr used over 80 years ago. Few, if any, candy makers produce high-quality handmade chocolates the manner we do today.
