The OLDEST Candy Company in America Est. 1806

Halloween is synonymous with candy. It is no wonder Salem houses America’s oldest candy company.

Ye Olde Pepper Candy Companie has been making and selling handmade confections since 1806.

Although you can purchase modern candies and all sorts of chocolate goodies, I suggest you try the two historic sweets for which the company is known.

Gibralters were the first commercially sold candy in America. Each package contains a sample of both lemon and peppermint.

Unlike many sour lemon candies that cause you to pucker, the lemon Gibralters melt in your mouth with a delightful mild flavor.

The Black Jacks are stick candy with a black strap molasses flavor.

Maybe it is an appreciation of history or a general fondness for candy, but everyone should taste a piece of history.
