The Stark Candy Company has its roots in a caramel
and vanilla-swirled nougat that Howard B. Stark released in 1920 and
called a "Snirkle."
Mr.
Stark founded the Howard B. Stark Company in 1939 after buying the equipment of
the American Candy Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He continued to
produce Snirkles while adding other products to his confectionery line.
In 1965, he released a caramel and nougat swirled pop called a Slap Stix.
In
1975, The York Caramel Co. was purchased and renamed York Candy Kitchens.
In
1985, Stark purchased the manufacturer of the Mary Jane product family
from the Charles N. Miller Company of Watertown, Massachusetts. Three
years later, in 1988, William F. Stark (grandson of Howard B.) sold the company
and the name was changed to Stark Candy Company.
