Here's what I know about the oldest American Candy Maker, known to all for manufacturing NECCO candies and those Sweetheart Hearts we have all consumed for Valentine's Day.
NECCO, founded in 1847, is now gone. Doors shut, 400 employees laid off and no website to check out NECCO's products. Although there are rumors about an unknown company buying NECCO, there is no real hope that the products we have loved will return to store shelves someday.
And there is no insider information as to what happened that caused the company to close its doors.
So, a brief pause for the passing of the oldest candy company in America.
However, Black Jack, Beeman's and Clove gum are returning in November. As Mary Engelbreit says in her Engeldark cards:
WHEN LIFE SHUTS A DOOR, OPEN IT AGAIN. IT'S A DOOR...THAT'S HOW IT WORKS!!
Stay tuned.
