Vande Walle's Candies

 

November 2026 Featured Business of the Month

AbbyBank is proud to recognize Vande Walle's Candies in Appleton as our November Business of the Month! Founded by Don and Norma Vande Walle and their sons, this family-owned Appleton business has been making chocolates and confections since 1974. 

The family’s candy-making tradition began with recipes passed down through generations. Today, Vande Walle’s offers more than 95 varieties of chocolates and confections, including wrapped caramels and its signature Angelfood candy. The team also makes bakery treats and premium ice cream. Family recipes, time-tested methods and copper kettles remain part of the candy-making tradition.

As the holiday season arrives, Vande Walle’s Candies continues to be part of family gatherings and traditions. AbbyBank is pleased to recognize the Vande Walle family and their dedicated team for sharing their craft with the community.

“Thank you for allowing us to become a part of your family’s holiday traditions!”
— The Vande Walle family (Don Jr., Steve, and Tom Vande Walle)
