Hey there, fellow candy lovers! If you're from Utah, you know that chocolate covered cinnamon bears are a big deal. It's like our state's signature candy, just as the Goo Goo Cluster is to Tennessee or the Idaho Spud is to Idaho. These irresistible treats combine the perfect balance of sweet and spicy with a luxurious chocolate coating.
Utahns are known for their love of candy, and we proudly consume more candy per capita than any other state in the US. It's no wonder that the Sweet's Candy Company, based in Salt Lake City, has been delighting our taste buds for nearly 120 years. They're one of the oldest family-owned and operated candy producers in the country.
Back in 1994, the Sweet's Candy Company surprised us all with their chocolate cinnamon bear creation. It was an instant hit! President Richard Kay admits that while the demand is high, the supply is limited. However, they now produce nearly one million pounds of chocolate cinnamon bears each year to satisfy candy lovers worldwide.
The chocolate cinnamon bear candy has become an iconic part of Utah's unique food scene, alongside fry sauce, various Jello concoctions, funeral potatoes, and heavenly scones. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you're a fan of the sweet-heat combination, you're going to love Sweet's chocolate covered cinnamon bears.
So, how are these delectable treats made? It all happens at the Sweet's Candy factory in SLC, Utah. The process begins with the little cinnamon bears taking a joyride on a massive conveyor belt, passing under a chocolate waterfall that coats them in heavenly goodness. Afterward, they're cooled to perfection and carefully bagged for distribution to grocery stores, retailers, and even available for delivery through Sweet's website.
