DINING OUT: Chocolate treasures at JoMart
Over half a century of chocolate and candy-making has made JoMart Chocolates a staple in Brooklyn homes and office snack drawers, but it is the family-owned business’s unwavering commitment to quality that sets it apart.
“My father believed that the real competition was [not in who makes the most money, but] in making something better than someone else,” explained third-generation candyman Michael Rogak, whose grandfather started the family business making penny candy.
Today, the kaleidoscopic variety of flavors and varieties includes something for virtually every palate. Prefer milk chocolate? You’ll find plenty of options. Is dark chocolate your dream sweet? The same applies. Indeed, Jo Mart makes 120 to 130 different loose chocolates ($27.50 per pound), plus molded novelties in the thousands and 40 different chocolate bars
