Goetze's Candy (pronounced gets) had its start in 1895, as the Baltimore Chewing Gum Company. It was founded by August Goetze and his son, William. In 1917, the family developed a soft, caramel candy, (known as "Chu-ees" [1]) which ultimately evolved into their signature candy, Caramel Creams, (also known as Bull's Eyes), a soft chewy caramel with cream filling in the center.[1] Each individual candy is typically packaged in a clear wrapper and twisted at two red and white ends.[2]
Products
In addition to its signature caramel candy, the company also makes a different style of its classic caramel candy, known as Cow Tales. Cow Tales are similar to the Caramel Creams, but in the form of a long, thin cylinder of soft caramel with a cream center.[3] Cow Tales are also produced in Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry and Caramel Apple flavors. In addition, the company now also offers Mini Cow Tales a bite sized version of Vanilla Cow Tales, Goetze's number one selling 25 cent item. [4]
Over the years, the company experimented with a number of flavors, such as peanut butter and banana, however, the current Caramel Creams line includes "Original" (Vanilla), Chocolate, Strawberry and Caramel Apple flavors. [5]
In addition, two Gourmet Caramel Creams items were introduced at the 2009 All Candy Expo: double chocolate and licorice flavors. According to the manufacturer, Goetze’s caramels have always been made with a low fat, low sodium, no cholesterol recipe, and are made with wheat flour, dairy milk and cream ingredients. The ingredients list for the Gourmet Caramel Creams Licorice states that this particular candy contains 11% of one’s recommended daily value (RDV) of fiber. Both flavors contain 33% RDV of calcium. [6] [7]
Honors
In 1984, R. Melvin Goetze, a third generation family member, (who joined the company in 1935) was inducted into the Candy Hall of Fame by the National Confectionery Sales Association of America.[8] Spaulding A. Goetze Sr. was inducted into the Candy Hall of Fame in 1998.[9] Rick LaRue, Goetze's former National Sales Manager, was inducted into the Candy Hall of Fame while working at Goetze's, in October 2006. [10] and Tony Gazzola, one of Goetze's Regional Sales Managers, was inducted into the Candy Hall of Fame while working at Goetze's, in October 2007. [11] Mitchell Goetze, one of the fifth generation family members, became the Executive Vice Chairman of the National Confectioners Association in 2008, [12] and became the Chairman of the NCA two years later. [13] John Leipold, Goetze's Director Sales & Marketing, was inducted into the Candy Hall of Fame in October 2009. [14] i likeee pizzzzzzzzaaaaaaaa[15]
