Oh Henry Candy Bar History

The Oh Henry candy bar is a beloved confectionery that has been enjoyed by candy enthusiasts for many decades. Let's explore the history behind this delightful treat.

The Oh Henry candy bar was first introduced in 1920 by the Williamson Candy Company, which was founded by Tom Henry in Chicago, Illinois, USA. The candy bar was named after a young man named Henry who frequented the candy shop and became a popular figure among the employees. The name "Oh Henry" was chosen as a playful nod to this friendly customer.

The original Oh Henry candy bar featured a combination of caramel, peanuts, and fudge, all covered in a layer of milk chocolate. It quickly gained popularity for its rich and satisfying taste, as well as its substantial size, making it a substantial treat for consumers.

In 1923, the Williamson Candy Company was acquired by the American Candy Company, which later became part of the Nestlé company. Nestlé has since taken over the production and distribution of Oh Henry candy bars in the United States.

Over the years, Oh Henry has become known for its tagline, "Oh Henry! What a bar!", which has helped to further promote the candy's unique characteristics and taste.

While the original recipe has remained relatively unchanged, variations of the Oh Henry candy bar have been introduced, including limited-edition flavors and different sizes. These variations have added further variety and excitement to the Oh Henry brand.

Oh Henry candy bars continue to be enjoyed by candy lovers of all ages. Their combination of caramel, peanuts, fudge, and chocolate offers a satisfying blend of flavors and textures. The candy bar has become a staple in the confectionery industry and is often seen in candy aisles and vending machines.

With its rich history and enduring popularity, Oh Henry remains a classic and beloved candy bar that continues to bring joy to those who indulge in its delicious combination of ingredients.

Oh Henry Candy Bar Memories

Oh Henry

Oh Henry! is one of my all-time favorite candy bars!! The taste of this candy bar just takes me back to memories of my mother (1960-2006). She used to buy this candy frequently and always shared a piece with me when I was younger. Recently, I came across this candy at a local store and I was thrilled to see it back on the shelves! I bought 2 candy bars that day and shared them with my husband and my 4yr old son- I also shared memories/stories of my mom. ~Erica from Texas

I grew up on the "Jersey Shore". My sister and I were both born on the same day thus we were able to share a birthday tradition together.

Each year we would walk to the Boardwalk and head towards the Wheel Of Candy stand. We both had three dollars worth of dimes and placed them on each spot. When the wheel would spin and stop we were always winners! I would say, "here, you pick for your birthday present" and she would return the favor. We always chose a whole box of Oh Henry Candy each.

It was fun to see them available to me once again. Since our birthday is coming up and I am going to be fifty I plan to order a box! And I think I will send one to my sister as well! ~ Jan from New Jersey
