Whoppers Malted Milk Balls combine rich milk chocolate with a crunchy malt center. They are "the original malted milk balls" and have a truly unique "family tree."
Few candies have such a diverse pedigree as Whoppers. The first chocolate-covered malted milk ball, called Giants, was introduced in 1939 by the now-defunct Overland Candy Company.
Eight years later, this company merged with the Chicago Biscuit Company (also defunct) and Leaf Gum, and it wasn’t until 1949 that their name was changed to Whoppers.
If you are not confused yet, please read on.
In the 1960s, Leaf Brands sold all of its confectionery products to WR Grace and then repurchased the brand in 1976!
The story of Whoppers doesn't end in 1976 because, in 1996, Hershey Foods purchased Leaf North America and began to manufacture Whoppers!
Whoppers Malted Milk Balls measure approximately 3/4" in diameter

Your web site completely screwed up my order. As far as I know the item was not gift wrapped. Thought I was ordering large size item but you sent small size item. Paid extra for a note and no note included. Recipient called me after Christmas and asked if I was the one who sent the candy since there was no note and no indication of who sent it.
I've just quit smoking and these are a perfect replacement to keep my hands an mouth busy. And they are super tasty!

High quality licorice wheels and once softened in the mouth these are quite tasty. I have had Haribo wheels in Europe that were more supple.
