history

While looking for pictures of my favorite candy i came across its history ,which i think i will share.
In 1928 , the defunct F. Hoffman and Company, of Chicago, one of the original
inventors of chocolate covered caramels was purchased by an entrepreneur
named Milton J. Holloway who had an idea
to create a round piece
of candy which was nothing more
than caramel enrobed with high quality chocolate.
Despite numerous tries and due to manufacturing limitations, it
was impossible to create a round candy
and thus all their tries produced nothing except
irregular shaped pieces called
"duds".
Despite best intentions , they were never able to produce their dream,
but they realized their product was delicious nonethelesss......
