When I first heard from the folks at Elmer’s Candy, my first thought was “Elmer’s? Aren’t they the glue people?” How have I never heard of a candy company that has been around since 1853? 1853!
Started by Christopher Henry Miller at the ripe old age of 24, what was originally called the Miller Candy Company [...]
