Sugar Babies (candy)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sugar Babies

Sugar Babies are an American confection originally developed in 1935 by the James O. Welch Co. Sugar Babies were named after a song called "Let Me Be Your Sugar Baby."[1]

The company was purchased by the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco, now Kraft Foods) in 1963. The Welch brands were sold to Warner-Lambert in 1988; Tootsie Roll Industries acquired them in 1993. They are bite-sized, pan-coated, chewy milk caramel sweets, and are based on the company's original caramel lollipop named Sugar Daddy. Tootsie Roll Industries now makes Sugar Babies.[2]
