Squirrel Nut Zippers Memories... I have searched high and low for Squirrel Nut Zippers. And have finally found them in your on-line store. Many years ago, when I became old enough to pick out my own penny candy, I would always go to the glass candy case and look inside to see what there was to buy. (I would usually have five to 10 cents to spend). I can remember waiting very impatiently for my turn to come so the clerk would wait on me. I remember the wonderful taste of peanuts and I think it was molasses.

As I grew older and was allowed to walk to the store, I would get my squirrel nut zippers in a little brown paper bag and eat my candy on my way back home. It would stick to the roof of my mouth and my teeth and I would have to pry it loose with my finger. But loved every minute of it. ~ Brenda from Maryland


My fondest candy memory was going to the Busy Bee candy store in Malden, Massachusetts every single Friday after collecting money on my paper route. I would order 200 squirrel nut zippers and the owner of the shop, her name was Annie, would count them out 2 at a time, I would bypass the bag and fill my pants and jacket pockets as full as I could and would eat them non stop throughout the weekend, come Monday I would be wishing that Friday would come again. ~ Larry from Massachusetts


I used to go to the local penny candy store as a child and I would ALWAYS spend all my money on "Squirrel Nut Chews" as they were called in Chicago. I used to bring them to school and my desk would be loaded with the old wax paper wrappers. To find these again after probably 30 years is a miracle indeed. I am 12 years old again. Thank you! ~ Adam from California


My aunt and uncle owned a gas station that sold ice cream and penny candies in the store attached. About twice a year my parents would take us kids there for treats. My aunt would fill a brown lunch bag with candies and make us the worlds largest ice cream cone (round and the size of a softball!). I always asked her to make half of my bag just "Squirrels" because I never got them anywhere else, just there. They were always my favorite. I became the "squirrel girl" to my family! ~ Leann from New Jersey

Squirrel Nut Zippers History

Some of you remember Squirrel Nut Zippers as Squirrel Nut Chews. They were actually the same but sold under a different name in different parts of the county... we are not sure why. 

The original company was bought by a Texas company in the late 1990s and licensed the brand to Necco who currently makes them.
