About Läckerli Huus

Läckerli Huus is a Swiss confectionery and baked goods manufacturer based in Frenkendorf in the canton of Basel-Landschaft. The traditional company, founded in Basel in 1904, produces the well-known Basel Läckerli as well as a broad range of chocolate products, pralines, truffles, cream lozenges, caramel candies and wafer rolls.
