CB Stuffer Announces Private Sale to Secure Future of Brand Growth

Nov 12, 2026

CB Stuffer, a premier specialty chocolate manufacturer known for its extra large peanut butter cups in multiple flavors, announced that it has successfully completed a private sale of the business.

READING, Mass. - Nov. 12, 2026 - PRLog -- CB Stuffer, a premier specialty chocolate manufacturer known for its extra large peanut butter cups in multiple flavors, announced that it has successfully completed a private sale of the business. The transaction marks a strategic transition designed to provide the necessary institutional backing and operational resources to navigate an increasingly complex macroeconomic environment.

Like many in the food manufacturing sector, the company has faced mounting headwinds, including rising material and operational costs, alongside persistent labor issues exacerbated by tightening immigration and workforce regulations. The sale injects the robust structural capital required to overcome these operational constraints while preserving the company's legacy of specialty chocolates built over the last 23 years.

"We started this company for quality and inventory control to support our brick and mortar retail business which we sold off in 2015. The current economic climate presents unique challenges for independent manufacturers," said Erin Calvo-Bacci Co-Founder of CB Stuffer. "From rising costs to the complex realities of managing a manufacturing workforce today, navigating these hurdles independently was increasingly challenging.  This private sale brings in the structural scale needed to absorb these pressures, ensuring the CB Stuffer brand will continue to thrive."

Erin Calvo-Bacci built nationwide brand recognition for CB Stuffer through marketing and strategic brand storytelling while serving as an Executive Director for the Retail Association of Massachusetts and as an industry advocate on the Small Business Retail Council for the National Retail Federation and engaging in policy reform discussions. Her background in food-sector advocacy and concerns over domestic manufacturing costs often brought her to Washington, D.C.

Under the terms of the private agreement, CB Stuffer will continue to operate under its original branding. The transition strategy focuses on leveraging the new infrastructure to stabilize supply chains, secure sustainable staffing solutions, and maintain consistent delivery to retail partners, distributors, and wholesale accounts.

Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. For details on product availability, visit cbstuffer.com
