DESCRIPTION

The Charleston Chew is a chewy nougat wrapped in a rich, chocolate coating- a delicious classic. But the nougat is more or less nougat-ish, making the Charleston Chew unique among candy bars. This nougat is soft and creamy, more like a taffy than a nougat. The first Charleston Chew was vanilla. Strawberry and chocolate came next. As for the Charleston "crack". That was part of a campaign sweeping the candy industry. Freeze your Charleston Chew, then crack it, and have a crunchy, rather than smooth and creamy, chocolate bar experience.

Size: One 1.87 ounce bar

Chocolate Fact: How the Charleston Chew Was Invented

The Charleston Chew was made in 1925. The bar has spent most of its life being made in Boston although most people think it’s from Charleston South Carolina. The other connection is that the Charleston Chew is tied to prohibition, named for the dance, the Charleston, not the city, which showed up in movies with flappers dancing merrily in-between sips of speakeasy drinks. The Fox Cross company who invented the Charleston Chew began when Donley Cross, a Shakespearean actor in San Francisco, fell the stage, injuring his back and ending his career. The logical next step: start a candy company with his friend, Charlie Fox. I knew, it doesn’t make sense. But that’s candy.
