who sells brach's chocolate?

If you find it, it's likely to be a little stale. They stopped manufacturing it in 2003.

Citing an aging infrastructure, global competitive pressures on both the manufacturing and ingredients side, as well as ongoing global consolidation in the industry, Kevin Kotecki, president of Brach's Confections, Inc., announced that the company will shut down its Chicago manufacturing facility

The 13-building, 2.2-million-sq.-ft. facility on Chicago's West Side employs 1,100 people and produces about 75% of Brach's line of 200 hard candies and chocolates. Despite investing more than $76 million into the complex during the past 10 years, "continuing investment will not bring the buildings and infrastructure up to modern manufacturing standards," he said.

"Over the years Brach's management and labor have worked extremely hard to stay competitive on the manufacturing side, but the pressures of the global marketplace no longer can be ignored," Kotecki added. "The intended phase-out will allow us to invest our revenues in the marketing and sales of our products, rather than in an old and inherently inefficient building complex."

Hmmm. I found it in Dan's Supermarket in Bismarck ND. DEFINITELY NOT STALE!!! Someone is making them. I am a snowbird living in AZ 6 months of the year. Would love to find an outlet here.
