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

Everything Wonderful...Fresh always, Deliver Quick. The only think was the order was large & in one bag would have liked in two bags. Recommend to everyone...Thank you Always
The candy at Candyfavorites.com is outstanding but the weather patterns can be confusing and harsh from region to region in the United States, let alone other areas of the world. My thought is to protect your purchase with Hot Weather and Fragile Protection ...it works for us in NC.
We are very pleased with our purchase of Brach's Indian Corn. It is only available during this time of the year & it disappears quickly off the shelves in stores. That's why I order this from CandyFavorites.com. Brach's Indian corn is available even when the stores run out, but don't wait too long to place your order! The 3 pound bag arrived in a box packaged to keep it cold & fresh, so there was no melting of the candy due to warmer temperatures. We like to mix our Indian Corn with dry roasted peanuts, it tastes a lot like Baby Ruths!
