Job Description
Sanders is a national brand offering fine chocolates, gourmet dessert toppings and premium baked goods using recipes dating far back as 1875. We believe products shouldn’t only taste great, they should be made great. That’s how we became an industry-recognized leader for our classic kettle cooked caramel, and it is why many major national retailers describe Sanders as an iconic brand providing consistent quality at a premium value.
Today, Sanders is an iconic national brand with items like its Bumpy Cake, hot fudge toppings, Pecan Cluster and sea salt caramels enjoyed all over the United States and overseas. In 2018, Sanders became a division of Kar’s Nuts, a leading manufacturer of nut and trail mix snacks with its own rich Detroit history dating back to 1933. Sanders products are currently sold in leading retailers nationally and online at sanderscandy.com. It also operates four Sanders Chocolate & Ice Cream Shoppes, with three locations in Metro Detroit and one on Mackinac Island.
