Tootsie Rolls

The Tootsie Roll company began in 1896 when Leo Hirshfield opened a tiny candy shop in NYC. Armed with a confectioner's background, he made a variety of products, including individually wrapped, oblong, chewy, chocolate candy that quickly became a favorite. They were sold for a penny a piece and named after Leo's five year old daughter, Clara, nicknamed, "tootsie". Tootsie Rolls changed Leo's modest corner store a burgeoning, multinational candy corporation. Now, The Tootsie Roll Industries still strictly adhere to Leo's original recipe and they produce more than 62 million Tootsie Rolls a day. Building on the Tootsie Roll's success, the company has expanded to include 22 of the world's favorite candy brands. Their annual sales are nearly a half billion. They are recongnized as one of the world's largest candy producers. Now they have a whole bunch of brands including:

Andes, Candy Carnival, Carmel Apple Pops, Cella Cherries, Charleston Chews, Charms, Cry Baby, Dots, Dubble Bubble, Fluffy Stuff, Junior Mints, Nik-l-nip, Razzles, Sugar Daddy, and of course, TOOTSIE ROLLS!!!!
