Steve Hegedus, president and ceo of Abdallah Candies, still gets excited about making quality chocolates, caramels and toffees -- about 200 varieties in total.

Abdallah Candies has been named an honoree of Finance & Commerce's 2016 Progress Minnesota awards.

When it comes to their ingredients and products, premium chocolate makers pride themselves on providing uncompromised quality.

In 2016, the fourth-generation, family-owned company will start construction of the new space.
