In this 100+ year old factory Idaho Candy Company produced over 50 different candy bars over the years and many varieties of boxed chocolates. Some of the bar names included: Chicken Dinner Bar, Brazil Cremes, Mint Patty, Big Chief, Quarter Section, Fox Trot and many others. Three of those candy bars are still in production: Idaho Spud Bar (1918), Old Faithful Bar (1925), the Cherry Cocktail Bar (1926), Huckleberry Gems (2012) and the Vandal Bar (2022). Our factory also produces 3 varieties of Owyhee Butter Toffee (1925), available in original chunk style, bite sized and chocolate covered. We also make about 12 different kinds of tub, bag and bulk nostalgic candies all in the same "modern" factory at 412 S. 8th Street in Boise, ID. Sorry there are no tours, but there is a display of candy history and free samples in the retail store.
