Established in 1946, 13 years before Alaska even became a state, Alaska Wild Berry Products started creating amazing wild berry jams and jellies. They have since expanded to many different tasty sweets, including chocolate, fudge, and other candies as well!
One of the most famous attractions in their Anchorage store is the world's largest chocolate waterfall!

The chocolate waterfall is stunning, with over 3000 pounds of chocolate flowing through the falls! The waterfall was created in 1994, when the store was built.
The chocolate gushes out of the head, before cascading 20 feet down through specially made copper kettles, and swirling in the chocolate pool below.

The copper kettles are authentic candy kettles! The kettles, and the entire falls, were made special by Homer artist Mike Sirl.
The waterfalls incorporated a specially designed warming and mixing system to keep the chocolate evenly heated.

The chocolate itself is donated by Peter's Chocolate Division of Nestle Foods and Guittard Chocolate Company. And if you are absolutely enchanted by the smell, you must practice self discipline! The falls are for viewing, not tasting, unfortunately.
Chocolate waterfalls aren't the only thing Alaska Wild Berry Products does well!

Their fudge is out of this world! With so many unique flavors, it will be hard to narrow it down to just one! With original flavors bearing names like "Northern Lights," it's hard to get more Alaskan than that!
They also craft specialty products, like these Mt. St. Augustine treats, or wild berry spiced truffles!

Our favorites are a toss up between the homemade peanut butter cups, or the grizzly bear claws! And if you're not a fan of chocolate, no worries! They also hand craft other candy treats like jelly beans, coconut creams, or even marshmallow bunnies for Easter!
You can browse through their cases to pick a unique selection for you and your loved ones, or look through their pre-packaged selections!
