Did you know that sweets were first produced by physicians and apothecaries to hide the taste of medicine? It was in England that the craft of making confections really began to rise in the early 19th century. An international confectionery exhibition was held in London in 1851 which attracted France and Germany to the candy industry.

Across the sea, the United States was already involved in the industry with twenty small factories in Philadelphia by 1816 and as many more in New York. The first candies were mostly limited to an assortment of stick and molasses candies and “sugar plums” which were all made by hand. Other fancy candies had to be imported. Due to the development of specialized machinery, the candy industry began to grow during the 1840s. In 1850, there were 383 large candy factories that employed 1,733 workers. By the turn of the century, there were 4,297 factories employing 33,000 employees and producing $80 million worth of candy. In 1909 the value of goods produced jumped to $135 million, and by 1924, the U.S. was leading the world in both candy production and consumption.
