Creating sweetness since 1985, Nibbles & Bits began as a little shop in Dunmore with a passion for quality food and delightful gifts. Today, owner Maggie Calpin has infused the business with a whimsical and light feel, focusing on creating beautifully curated gift baskets filled with the tastiest hand-selected gourmet treats—from artisan popcorns to flavored pretzels, sweet jams, savory dips, confections, nuts, and more, including pasta from Italy and hot cocoa from Canada. Responding to customers’ sweet tooth, Maggie introduced her own handmade chocolates and confections in 2013 and continues to catapult the business’ presence in her communities by packaging and selling sweet treats to a wide range of customers – families to corporations and developing an amazing network of wholesale businesses who feature her products every day to their customers.
