The Candy Capital of America

The history of candy in Chicago is long, sweet and full of amazing stories! Some of the largest confectionary manufactures were based in Chicago and countless iconic candies were created there.

In this documentary we look at the very beginnings of candy making in Chicago, right up to the large mergers and acquisitions of the 20th and 21st century and the current confectionary trends.
