Local candy store sweetens Valentine's Day

DANA, Ind (WTHI) - When you think of Valentine's day you probably think of stuffed animals, flowers and chocolate.

Tucked away in Dana, Ind. three ladies are busy stirring up something sweet for the holiday at Brooke's Candy Company.

Inside the kitchen, laboring over a pot of caramel for chocolate turtles is Kathleen.

"It's a lot of love. It's a lot of stirring, a lot of whole made love," said Kathleen Knopp.

Right by her side, Brooke takes a bowl of roasted almonds and toffee squares. Each piece is dipped, sprinkled and then splattered with a fork.

"Then I just drizzle it back and forth and give it the look we like," said Brooke Schmidt.

From their tiny kitchen to the counter each piece is hand made. It's that loving care that helps make them the perfect gift.

Plus, you probably can't go wrong buying chocolates for your wife.

"She probably tracked me down here. I got to answer to her where I have been when I get back home so she won't be surprised," said customer William Hooper.

She may not be surprised by the gift, but she'll appreciate the love comes with it.

In case you still haven't picked up something for your special someone, Brooke's candy company will be open on Valentine's Day.
