Chocolate Filled Straws are a Christmas favorite and lucky for us they’re around year-round! These candies are what you may expect: bite size “straws” with a crunchy shell about as melt-in-your- mouth as you can expect to get. In terms of mouth-feel, Chocolate Filled Straws quickly dissolve into the smooth and creamy texture of the chocolate inside – crunchy and smooth in one bite. Perhaps the best feature of Chocolate Filled Straws is how they look: bright purples, yellows, greens, reds – bright, festive candy pillows, well-suited for glass jars, and a pleasure to enjoy with tea, as an after-dinner treat, an old-fashioned pick-me-up, good to enjoy and share on Christmas or any day you like!

What Makes Chocolate So Irresistible? A Look Back in Time
What is the history of Chocolate Filled Straws? Our theory: they evolved from the ever-popular three-inch candy sticks. The exterior has the same crunch, although the interior has a smooth, typically creamy center. Regardless, they are of the crunchy, yummy family of candies such as the Peach Blossoms, another Christmas favorite (also available all year round!), Golden Crunchies, and the Chick-O-Sticks, a newcomer from the 1940s. But who was the FIRST to make these crunchy delights per se? Depends who you ask. Find out here.
