Headquartered in Bryan, Ohio, Spangler's products include lollipops,[1] candy canes, and marshmallow circus peanuts. Spangler brand names include Dum Dums, Saf-T-Pops, Whistle Pops, Spangler Candy Canes, and Spangler Circus Peanuts. Dum Dums were invented in 1924, and Spangler purchased the rights and equipment in 1953. The small multicolor lollipops are popular as free giveaways. In 2018, Spangler bought the defunct Necco, retaining the rights to Necco Wafers, Sweethearts conversation hearts, and Canada Mints. In 2020, Spangler bought the rights to Bit-O-Honey from Pearson Candy Company. dcsteilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15564146350478783763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-47487414045803930612022-01-20T11:53:42.402-05:002022-01-20T11:53:42.402-05:00OOOOooo, I just love bit-o-honey!

The fillings varied over time, but some of them were: mint, nougat, fudge, orange, cherry, buttercream, caramel, butterscotch, coconut... Just like a regular box of chocolates, there were some you loved and some you bit into and then spit out.Studio Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01841633573861861132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-14538778576186383202019-02-12T01:42:38.345-05:002019-02-12T01:42:38.345-05:00I used to keep a bowl of Good & Plenty on my d...I used to keep a bowl of Good & Plenty on my desk at work.
