Chase Candy Company, located in St. Joseph, Missouri has been making candy since 1876. Known for using only the best ingredients and making small batches at a time, the old fashioned way, to maintain consistency and great taste, the company is still in business today. In the first 50 years of business, Chase Candy produced over 500 different types of candy. Not all were hits, but the Cherry Mash Candy bar created in 1918 sure was and still remains their best seller. (2 comments)
