Romolo Stefanelli was experimenting with hard candy when he made the airy-yet-crispy, browned sugar confection we love today as Grandpa Romolo's Famous Sponge Candy. He did not know his sponge candy would rise to the most popular confection at Romolo Chocolates, the candy store his grandson Tony named in his honor. Or that his great-grandson Roman would be the most prolific confectioner of the family, perfecting sponge candy.

Santas everywhere are making their lists and checking them twice for Grandpa Romolo's Famous Sponge Candy. Filling Christmas stockings is easy when you shop Romolo Chocolates where candy, cookies, desserts and gift shop treasures are easy to find. Holiday parties are sweeter with a big bowl of sponge candy!
