Leaf Brands

One of America's great candy innovators, Leaf Brands, founded when McKeesport Candy Co., came into being, invented classics such as Jolly Ranchers, Milk Duds, Rain Blo Bubble Gum, and Whoppers, to name but a few. The company had a long, storied career and by 1993 were amongst the largest candy producers in America!  In the late 1990s, the company, and all their delicious creations, was acquired by Hershey and thus temporarily ended their 70-year run.

In 2011, Leaf Brands returned to the candy industry, intending to revive long lost classics such as Astro Pops, Tart n' Tinys, and Wacky Wafers. The offerings may be different from the original company. Still, the commitment to candy and innovation is as strong as ever, and the new brands speak for themselves!
