The founder of Anastasia Confections, Inc. was first inspired after managing a tourist gift shop in Pompano Beach, Florida in the early 1980’s. During that time, several visitors came into his store frustrated and unable to find quality candy gifts and souvenirs to bring home from their vacation. Seizing the opportunity, he decided to create a premium candy line specifically for Florida tourists that focused on better tasting candy, higher quality ingredients, and more appealing packaging. From his kitchen, he cooked up the first batch of Fudge-A-Gators™. Less than a year later, he perfected one of Florida’s staple candies and added the now-famous creamy Coconut Patties to his growing line of products. The confections were first sold through his tourist shop, but it wasn’t long before many other local shops and citrus stores picked them up as well. Anastasia Confections was officially incorporated in 1984.

Yes, there really is a “Jer” behind the Jer’s Chocolates’ brand. In fact, Jerry Swain, the man behind your favorite peanut butter and chocolate treats, does a whole lot more than just dream up deliciousness for you to enjoy. When meeting Jer face-to-face, one trait stands out above all the rest: He's a fun, normal guy who brings a smile to the face of everyone he meets - he was even featured on "America's Funniest People." That sense of "fun" permeates into everything he does, including his more recent venture into the world of gourmet chocolates. Jer set out to relay his personal interests, zest for life and community involvement into reality, when he introduced Jer's Chocolates in 2001. A well-recognized public speaker, Jer has done numerous presentations around the country and overseas, focusing on his experience and expertise with sales, marketing and business development.
