Grandpa Frank's Candy

About Us

Grandpa Frank’s candy is carefully crafted and made to order in small batches, each buttery piece hand-cut for perfection. Frank’s secret recipe was unlocked from the family vault in his honor. We have taken my grandfathers recipe and started to make different variations (most popular is our Coffee Infused, which is infused with I Have a Bean Coffee).

In addition to online orders, we specialize in corporate gifts, events and fundraisers. We can customize the packaging, and also mail with customized messaging for each recipient. Contact us for details. Giving back is an important part of our mission, and we will give back a percentage of corporate sales to an agreed upon charity.

Grandpa Frank was a respected professor of Health Education at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, a hall of fame football player and coach, community leader, caring mentor, and a devoted family man. Happy to teach you how to fish, throw the spiral, or simply listen to your story. Someone willing to lend a hand to anyone who needed it.

And here’s where it gets interesting, somewhere along the way, he also found time to become a pretty good baker. And homemade, hand-crafted caramels that melt in your mouth were his specialty. A delicious blend of — well, that’s our little secret — but let’s just say it’s close to impossible to have just one.

We hope you enjoy these as much as we do. We hope it brings back some happy memories and maybe even helps create some new ones. Grandpa Frank would like that.
