SweetWorks Confections began in 1956 as Niagara Chocolates in Buffalo, New York, which was opened by John and Angela Terranova. In 1992, their son Philip Terranova took ownership of the company. In 1998, they acquired Oak Leaf Confections which also included Whetstone Chocolates, this added a production facility in Toronto, Canada and St. Augustine, Florida. But  the Florida facility closed soon after the acquisition, and production was moved to Buffalo. This allowed production of additional products including Sixlets, gumballs, and dextrose. The two companies was then combined and rebranded as SweetWorks Confections in 2002. In 2014, Chocolat Frey, a Swiss chocolate manufacturer acquired SweetWorks Confections and its manufacturing facilities in Buffalo and Toronto. Brands.
