The proud owner and creative force behind Andre’z Dipped & Drizzled just celebrated being in business 1o years as of September 2025!
Throughout the past decade, she became known to create some of your most iconic chocolate dipped treats; from her famous Loaded Apple to her brownie bombs and everything in-between, let’s just say falling in love with chocolate has a whole new meaning 😊


Alicia was born and raised in Smithfield - known locally for being dubbed as “The Apple Capital of Rhode Island”. She grew up in an entrepreneurial family surrounded by foodies, creative culinary dishes, and beautifully decorated desserts. She spent her childhood watching her father bake and decorate cakes, breads and desserts at his very own bakery - Apple Blossom Bakery; which to this day is still remembered as being one of the best bakeries Smithfield had! Not only did her dad have a love for food and giving back to the community, but her grandfather proudly owned a local Italian restaurant which also was a local favorite.
Between both of them, Alicia learned the ins and outs of what it took to own and operate a business! The admitted chocaholic decided to combine her passion for business and confectionary treats to launch her shop in Fall of 2015 - The shop’s name is a playful adaptation of her own last name, Andreozzi. 

The now 3rd generation small business owner prides herself on creativity, quality and freshness. these are just a few attributes that have led to her shop growing each year!

If anyone were to ask alicia what the key to her success as a small business owner is, she would tell you, “my success isn’t just my own. i owe it to my family as well. they have supported me from the very beginning and have helped my business continue to grow! it’s as much a family business as it is my own.
SO, when you see Bill (my dad), Christina or priscilla (my SISTERS) be sure to say hi!
everything i make and sell, there’s love and a piece of my family attached to it!”
