Which candy is still American-made?

[femmocrat]

Now that we are boycotting Hershey's for moving Peppermint Patty production to Mexico, what is a good replacement? I mean regular supermarket-variety candy, not anything expensive or hard-to-find.

I googled "American-made chocolate candy" and Hershey's was listing #1.

1. Pearson's Candy is based in St Paul, MN

And they still make candy there, too

They make Nut Goodie, Salted Nut Roll, and others.

I remember buying those from a pull handle vending machine for 10 cents when I was a kid.

It was a summer favorite!

6. Mars is in Hackettstown, NJ

I don't know if they make it all there, but they do have a factory there. Sometimes the town smells like candy.

10. As painful as it may be to accept, cacao does not grow in the USA

And very little cane sugar too.

So chances are, whatever candy you select, especially chocolate, has some furin' ingredients.
