At one point, Swedish confectioner Cloetta and Finnish confectioner Fazer went together like chocolate and peanut butter. The two companies melted into Cloetta Fazer for eight years until 2008, when the relationship went sour and they broke back into separate entities. Now Cloetta is once again on its own, producing some 20,000 tons of chocolate and candy per year from its two production plants in Sweden. Its products are only sold in the Nordic countries; however, Cloetta buys cocoa exclusively from the Ivory Coast. As part of the demerger settlement with Fazer, Cloetta kept Sweden's third-largest throat-lozenge and lollipop manufacturer, Karamellpojkarna.

Jelly Belly Candy Company beginnings are traced back to a family named Goelitz. When two young brothers emigrated from Germany to make their mark in America, they set the family on its candymaking course. In 1869, just two years after arriving in America, Gustav Goelitz bought an ice cream and candy store in Belleville, Ill., and his brother, Albert was sent out in a horse drawn wagon to sell their sweets to nearby communities. Then the second generation of the family jumped on the band wagon of candy innovations by making a new type of candy, then called "buttercream" candies, including Candy Corn, a sweet we've made since about 1900 (and still use the same recipe). These candies carried the family through the Great Depression and two world wars. Today, the great-grandsons of Gustav Goelitz, the fourth generation, are still carrying on the tradition of making candy.
