In 1871, Claus Doscher crafted America's first handmade candy cane in a small kitchen in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. His process involved using real peppermint oil, cooking small batches in copper kettles, and working with the best tools known to man – his hands – to roll, knead, stripe, and hook the canes.For close to 150 years, Doscher's has used the same recipe to ensure that each candy cane is perfectly chewy and airy. Doscher's uses the same copper kettles and time-honored techniques so that every candy cane is a one-of-a-kind piece of confectionary art.But, Claus didn't just make candy canes. He also developed the famous French Chew that continues to delight candy lovers everywhere. French Chew is a chewy, nougat-like candy that's made in a variety of delectable flavors and available in either bars or individually wrapped bite-size mini's.Most recently, Doscher's acquired the Candy House Candy Buttons brand from the New England Confectionery Company (NECCO) and began breathing new life into one of the countries most beloved novelty candies. Proudly claiming the title of America's oldest continuously operating candy company, Doscher's is on a significant growth path. A growing management team and a significant capital infusion over the last 18 months have Doscher's Candy Co. poised for an exciting chapter heading into 2020 and beyond.
