History of Tootsie Candy
Tootsie Roll was created by Austrian immigrant Leo Hirschfield in 1896, named after his daughter’s nickname “Tootsie.” It became known as America’s first penny candy and the first individually wrapped treat of its kind. The candy’s distinctive chocolate-taffy texture was patented, and its popularity quickly grew.
In 1931, the famous Tootsie Pop was invented by an inspired employee who combined a lollipop with a Tootsie Roll center, launching a new iconic confection. During wartime, Tootsie Rolls were standard field rations, beloved for their durability, energy and even their utility in makeshift repairs.
Today, Tootsie Roll Industries continues to manufacture billions of treats daily, including Tootsie Rolls, Tootsie Pops and more—remaining a household favorite worldwide.
