Lammes Candies, an Austin-based confectioner founded in the 1800s, is winding down most operations as labor and ingredient costs rise.

Online sales will continue during the wind-down, and the company is handling remaining orders and employee transitions as part of an orderly closure. This marks the end of 141 years of family ownership for the Austin-based chocolatier.
