Milk Duds
Milk Duds[edit | edit source]
Milk Duds are a popular American candy that has been enjoyed by consumers for over a century. They are small, round, and made primarily of caramel and chocolate. The name "Milk Duds" is a reference to the original intention of the candy's creators to produce a perfectly round piece of candy - a goal that proved to be a "dud".
History[edit | edit source]
Milk Duds were first created in 1926 by the F. Hoffman & Company of Chicago. The company was attempting to create a perfectly round piece of candy, but found that the manufacturing process resulted in irregularly shaped candies. These "duds" were nonetheless delicious, and so the name "Milk Duds" was born.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
The primary ingredients in Milk Duds are caramel and chocolate. The caramel is made from corn syrup, sugar, skim milk, palm oil, and a few other ingredients. The chocolate coating is made from sugar, cocoa, and chocolate liquor, among other ingredients.
Manufacturing Process[edit | edit source]
The manufacturing process for Milk Duds involves creating the caramel center, coating it in chocolate, and then packaging the candies for distribution. The caramel is cooked until it reaches the desired consistency, then it is shaped into small, round pieces. These pieces are then coated in chocolate and allowed to cool before being packaged.
Popularity[edit | edit source]
Milk Duds have remained a popular candy choice for many years. They are often found in movie theaters and are a common choice for Halloween treats. Despite the changes in ownership and manufacturing processes over the years, the taste and quality of Milk Duds have remained consistent, contributing to their enduring popularity.
Ownership[edit | edit source]
Over the years, the ownership of the Milk Duds brand has changed hands several times. The brand was originally owned by the F. Hoffman & Company, but was sold to the Hershey Company in 1996. Today, Milk Duds are manufactured by Hershey.
