Famous sweets made in Massachusetts
Necco
Squirrel Nut Zippers
These vanilla, caramel, and nut taffy candies are named after an illegal drink during Prohibition. A ’90s retro swing band named themselves after the candy and handed it out during performances. In 2004, Necco picked up the license to manufacture Squirrel candy brands and brought the production back to Massachusetts after it moved to Texas.
