Spree Candy

Spree Candy, first produced in the mid-1960s by the Sunline Candy Company (later renamed Sunmark Corporation) of St. Louis, Mo., is a beloved confectionery known for its hard candy shell with a sweet and tangy flavor.

The candy was initially called Spree Drops, marketed as a candy to be enjoyed on the go. In the 1970s, the brand was bought by Nestlé, and it has since been sold under The Willy Wonka Candy Company, a brand owned by the Ferrara Candy Company unit of Ferrero SpA.

Spree Candy has various flavors and packaging options, including rolls and movie theater-size cardboard boxes. The candy has a unique blend of sweetness and tartness, making it a popular choice among millions of candy lovers.

While the original flavors include cherry/strawberry, orange, lemon, lime, and grape, mixed-berry editions also feature cherry, strawberry, blue raspberry, and mixed-berry sweets. Additionally, the Chewy Spree variety offers a candy shell with a chewy center, available in pouches rather than rolls, with the Mixed Berry Chewy Spree being a delightful variation.

Over the years, Spree Candy has undergone various changes, but its unique taste and appearance have made it a beloved brand in the candy industry. The manufacturing process for Spree Candy is complex and precise, involving cooking, coating, and packaging. Despite its long history, the candy has remained a popular treat for candy lovers worldwide.
