Let’s Learn About Strawberry Shortcake Chewy Candy….
These candy chews were originally produced by NECCO — the New England Confectionery Company, which, up to 2018, was one of the oldest candy manufacturers in American history.
Founded in 1847 in Boston, Massachusetts, NECCO was a cornerstone of the American confectionery industry for over 170 years before going bankrupt in 2018.
Fair to say, this was not a good “vintage” for candy lovers!
The Strawberry Shortcake Chews debuted in the 1950s, paying homage to the classic American dessert, a beloved staple since the 19th century, and were later joined by The Original Banana Split Chewy Candy a few years later.
In an age of ever-disappearing candies, hearty thanks go to Mega Candy Co. for reintroducing these chewy candies, which remain a cherished part of American candy history, connecting generations through one simple, irresistible bite.
