About Brach's
Brach's was founded in Chicago in 1904 and built its business on pick-and-mix confectionery sold loose from bins, and later on candy corn, of which it is the largest producer. Ferrara acquired the brand in 2012. Candy corn is made in a months-long production run each year because almost all of it is sold in the weeks around Halloween.
