HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG WITH TOOTSIE ROLLS? THEY ARE SO GOOD GREAT FOR A SNACK FOR ANY TIME.I LOVE TO MIX THE FLAVORS ALSO.

Who could say anything but great about Tootsie Rolls!!! Packaged great & shipped professionally.

If you order a pound of Tootsie Rolls you're in for a treat. Last Halloween I ordered 12 for the different Trick or Treaters in my neighborhood and filled a large pumpkin with the bitesize treats. Would you believe it, the kids ran me out of 12 full pounds! I suspect that some of them doubled back to my doorbell once they saw the quality of goodies I was handing out. Don't worry, I kept a few for myself too. Because as long as you're a kid at heart, you'll keep your yen for America's original candy, Tootsie Rolls, the treat so tasty they named a movie after it.

You don't need to give them any special treatment. They will keep in a candy dish in your apartment or home, or they can be safely and easily stored in cupboard or freezer. Warning, don't try to give them to your cat, I have heard that they are not too good for our feline friends.

I would guess that when Leo Hirshfield first began producing Tootsie Rolls in New York City that he never guessed that more than a century later the chocolate candy would be a favorite of children around the world. This candy was originally a children's favorite because it was a penny candy, it was one of the first individually wrapped candies, and it was durable under a variety of conditions, like being in a child's pocket.

Leo Hirshfield first produced Tootsie Rolls in 1896. Hirshfield named the candy after his five-year-old daughter, whose nickname was Tootsie. Tootsie Rolls became even more popular as the United States emerged from the Great Depression. Tootsie Rolls went to war in World War II as a part of soldiers' rations, and it became a G.I.'s favorite for the same reason it was a children's favorite; it was wrapped and durable under a variety of conditions. The candy also provided a quick energy boost.

Tootsie Rolls are chewy and have a mild chocolate flavor with modest sweetness. While Tootsie Rolls get harder when cold, they become soft again when warmed, yet they never get so soft in normal circumstances that they actually melt. However, in a child's pocket they can get very soft.

Tootsie Roll Industries is now a candy giant, and yet the original candy retains all its charm and is very much like the original made by Leo Hirshfield. Tootsie Rolls has now expanded to numerous other countries, and yet in many ways this popular candy is an American institution.

For a flavor experience I also recommend assorted Tootsie Rolls, which has included lemon, vanilla and cherry.

I'm not happy with it as I didn't even receive it!
