The enrobers are tucked away in the basement of this quaint waterside store. Barbara Nichols and Esther Whetstone catch up with each other.
This 1972 Hillards enrober is the core of their machinery.
At Nichols, they pair you with a personal shopper to choose your chocolates displayed on trays under plastic sheeting.
 Thank you to Bill and Barbara Nichols and their staff for hosting us!
It's a wonder how they get any work done at Nichols Candies in Gloucester, MA with a view of the water like this!

The party always ends up in the kitchen with Bill.
Talking about what Nichols makes at its store.
