DILLON CANDY COMPANY WINS BEST CANDY AGAIN

Boston, GA - Dillon Candy Company's Pecan Brittle was judged "Best Candy" at the 2004 Best of Atlanta Awards in September.

A distinguished panel of judges composed of Atlanta's top culinary experts and food aficionados sampled and previewed dozens of gourmet products and accessories, selecting those having distinctive taste and creative packaging.

The 2004 award earned by Dillon's Pecan Brittle followed Dillon's Peanut Brittle being judged "Best Candy" at the 2003 Best of Atlanta Awards. Tom Cook, owner of Dillon Candy Company, says that winning the "Best Candy" award two years running is a testament to the employees' dedication to the Company's philosophy of "quality first".

The winning 5 oz. gable top box presentation and a single serve pouch introduced in August, 2004, features a high barrier, metalized bag which assures Dillon's uniquely thin brittle will remain fresh and crisp for over 6 months. The nostalgic design on the box and pouch makes a dramatic display on shelf or counter, and provides a striking focal point in gift basket arrangements. Dillon's brittles are available in several additional packages, including gift tins.
These award winning Brittles are made with pure dairy butter and other all-natural ingredients. Batches are cooked in open copper kettles and hand stretched, just the way the Dillon family has done it for over 85 years.

Dillon Candy Company is located in Boston, Georgia and produces a variety of specialty nut and jelly candies and gift presentations which are sold in all 50 states in gourmet food markets, travel and resort venues, mail order catalogues and gift pack presentations. The candies are also available directly from the Company by internet and mail order.
