A Red Whip of Sugar

Hello everyone! Since I have forgot to check the this in quite a few days, I realized that I forgot to change the candy of the week! Even though Hershey's Milk Chocolate / Kisses is leading the poll, we just did kisses, so this week goes to the candy with the least votes, to teach you about the candy more. This week the candy is (it was a tie between so but I finally chose one)... TWIZZLERS! This chewy candy is an American classic that comes in strawberry (the first flavor and favorite among many), cherry, licorice, and chocolate (doesn't that sound appetizing?). Even though Twizzlers weren't made by Hershey, the Hershey company acquired the Y&S Candy Company in 1968, making Twizzlers a Hershey made candy. Here is the first fact about Twizzlers (again this is an excerpt from the Hershey company site) :

Y&S Candies, the manufacturers of TWIZZLERS candy, is one of the oldest confectionery firms in the United States. The company was established in 1845 as Young and Smylie and adopted Y&S as its trademark in 1870.

Remember to vote on the poll and if you have any questions on Twizzlers or any other Hershey's chocolate, feel free to ask!

  1. Liv this is such a great blog, I love it! My two favorite candies are twizzlers and reesee's. I was wondering though how do they make my two favorite candies? I was also wondering like Maddie how reesee got its name? Again great blog. I can't wait to learn more about these delectable treats!

  2. I enjoy Twilzzlers very much. Athough I like chocolate better these candies are always a tasty goody. And if you remember what twlizzlers are a code word for then it is even better. Question- How are twlizzlers made? I'm guessing that they don't have someone hand twirl them, although that would be fun!
