Mary Jane (candy)

Mary Jane Candies

Mary Jane is a peanut butter- and molasses-flavored taffy-type candy. Originally made in 1914 by The Charles N. Miller Co., and later by Stark Candy Co.,[1] it is now manufactured by Necco.[1] Charles Miller named them after his favorite aunt, Mary Jane, and the candy has used the same "little girl" illustration on the wrappers since its inception. Mary Jane candies are currently made in the city of Revere, Massachusetts.[2]
