Each piece of MILK DUDS Candy is never perfectly round, but that hasn’t stopped generations of fans from enjoying this chocolate caramel treat.
The History of MILK DUDS Candy
MILK DUDS Candies were introduced by F. Hoffman & Co. of Chicago in 1928.
MILK DUDS Candy got their name because their maker found it impossible to get the chocolate-covered caramels to form perfectly round balls, so he called them “duds.”
Today, MILK DUDS Candy is owned and made by Hershey.
