Gayle's Chocolates is a small, specialty chocolatier based in Royal Oak, Michigan, with roots dating back to 1979 when Detroit native Gayle Harte began crafting handmade truffles. The business emphasizes confections made from natural ingredients and high‑cacao chocolate, targeting gourmet and specialty retailers as well as corporate clients, with products distributed across the United States and previously carried by national retailers. Its wholesale program supports retailers of varying scales, offering items such as assorted truffles, bark, molded novelties, chocolates, caramels, and giant nut clusters, and it provides drop shipping options. The company positions itself within the food and beverage services industry as a refined chocolate supplier, serving both local and national retailers and corporate customers, including names like Mercedes-Benz, PNC Bank, and Verizon Wireless. Gayle's Chocolates operates with a small team and maintains a retail presence in Royal Oak while supporting wholesale partnerships that require a minimum order. A recent development noted is the expansion of its wholesale capabilities and product line, aimed at broader distribution within its niche market.
