Annaclairs Chocolate

Where Can You Find Annaclairs?

Annaclairs Chocolate was a brand that was sold in Texas at Sanger Harris Department stores in the 1960s and 70s.

Do you sell it?
Is it still made?

Thanks for any help in locating this old favorite.
-Bryan

Hi Bryan,

Unfortunately, we do not sell Annaclairs here, but I've been told you can get some at Kay's Hallmark located at 4828 Camp Bowie, Fort Worth, Texas. The phone number is (817)731-8283.

***I've had to update and edit this post so many times because the options and availability changes periodically.

Sometimes, you have to purchase 12 boxes at a time, which is great if you want to give a number of gifts, but may not be ideal if you just want a personal nostalgic treat.

At the moment I found a place where you can buy individual boxes of Annaclairs online and that's here at Sweet Shop USA.

As this page has aged, others have added comments below where they've shared a number of other locations where Anna Claire Chocolate (as some people call it), can be located.

We'll try to keep the page updated as more people share their experiences.

Enjoy!

Mail order annaclairs
by: Julie

My mom used to buy Annaclairs at Sanger Harris in big town mall, Mesquite, Texas (Dallas suburb). They were her favorite boxed candy and she would occasionally give me one as a special treat. I have been trying to find them for several years and last week finally found the manufacturing company in Mt Pleasant, TX. My 2 boxes of chocolates arrived today in beautiful condition and I sampled one piece with so many memories flowing back.
Here is the number for ordering.

Enjoy!

Then and now NEW
by: Kathleen K.

My Mother worked at Sanger Brothers before it bought A Harris and became Sanger Harris. Anna Clairs were our Christmas splurge each year. Yes, they were doled out like precious gems. And so I developed a love of this remarkable candy in my early childhood in the 50's.
Now they are very hard to find. I excitedly checked Amazon after a recent post. Nope! If they were ever available there, they no longer are.
Since they are so loved and we are so willing to pay outrageous prices for them, I don't understand someone not cornering the market.

Anna Claires NEW

The department store in Sioux. City Ia was Younkers (no longer there). Was my Dads favorite candy and when he got a box he treated it like a treasure chest of gold. We had to be very good to get one. Great memories.

Precious Memories NEW
by: Linda

When I was a little girl, my Mother worked at Cohen Brothers! My Dad would take me downtown,( that was back in the 60’s when when a young girl was safe own her own!) I would go to the Candy counter and buy two Anniclairs for 50cents and go across the street and sit in Hemming Park and eat them! The white cream, pecans, and chocolate were heavenly! Those were the "Good Ole Days" !

I worked there NEW
by: Bill

I worked as a teenager, during the summer and at Christmas, at Price Candy Co. in Kansas City for several years. During the Christmas season we worked in the office area wrapping hundreds of boxes of Annaclairs to be shipped out all over the country. This candy was one of my favorites and I introduced it to my wife when we married. We used to be able to buy them at Foley's department store in Houston. My wife ordered a box a few years ago and we enjoyed them very much. Brought back a lot of good memories.

Yum!
by: Susan

My parents bought annaclaires in Sioux City, Iowa(1950's). I don't remember the name of the Department store where they were purchased though. In the late 60's I found them at Rich's in Atlanta. The black box was iconic! Good memories!!

Annaclairs dark chocolate candies
by: Candace

These were my absolute favorite candy in the 50’s/60’s growing up. My great aunt sent them to my father every Christmas in the black and silver box. I was only allowed to have one! (Everyone loved them.) Does anyone know if they are available anywhere today in 2021?

Annaclair wannabes
by: Sandy

Doeothy’s Chocolates in White Oak PA have, what I was told, are their version of annaclair’s, called Jodi Lees.

I immediately ordered a pound box, shipped express, so I could taste before driving all the way there for naught. They are NOT inexpensive and add in the shipping...just saying..

They were shipped immediately, carefully packed, and arrived perfectly the following day. Jodi lees are good, but not exactly what I remember Annaclair’s being.

HTH, Sandy

Remember the black box?
by: Tara icke

Anaclairs besides being the best candy back in the 60's came in a beautiful black box with silver cursive lettering. Anyone remember????? I was surprised and thrilled when I recently found them again ,even though the box wasn't elegant anymore ,,,,,the candy was exactly the same. Amazing in this day and age. Gosh they are fabulous.

May company sold it to Mason Blanche they were bought out by Gayfers and Dillards bought them and they in turn sold some of them to Belk. While working at Belk the candy dept. was closed.

Annaclairs
by: Sheron,

Annaclairs were my mother's favorite chocolates. She used to hide them in her dresser drawer from all of us kids (but we dared to eat one once in a while!) They were first sold only by Neiman Marcus in Dallas, later by Sanger Harris, and now very few places. They are still made today in Mt. Pleasant, TX 1-888-95Sweet.

Anyone know a recipe for Annaclairs?
by: Anonymous

I think these were spelled Anaclairs when sold at fine department
stores in the 60's, 70's in Texas. Does anyone have a recipe for
these? And, I'm not sure, but a few years ago I think I found them
under another name similar to Anaclairs, something that began
with Ana----. It might have been at a tourist factory outlet candy store (Russell Stover) between Richmond,Virginia and Wash, DC.
They are definitely memorable and worth looking for!

Wonderful candy
by: Anonymous

Anna Clair candy is a part of my childhood. Found some at Kay's Hallmark Shop last year when looking on line and mailed some to my brother and sister. It had been over 32 years since I last a piece of this wonderful candy until I found it last year. I also treated myself to a box for Christmas! I live in Mississippi and would like to know a place closer to purchase some candy.

Found them in Dallas
by: Aline

Annaclairs can be found in Dallas, Texas at Rosebud's Restaurant Giftique and Bakery in the Pavilion Shopping Center at 5600 W. Lovers Lane. Their phone # 214-904-0900. Their icebox pies are like the old Toddle House pies. I work at the Bellini Baby store in the same center. They only have the mixed(milk and dark chocolate), but you can buy it by the piece or box. Enjoy
