U-No Candy Bar History

The U-NO Candy Bar is a chocolate-covered candy bar that contains a creamy, truffle-like center. Here's a brief overview of the U-NO Candy Bar's history:

1920s: The U-NO Candy Bar was created by the Cardinet Candy Company, a confectionery manufacturer based in San Francisco, California, USA. The exact year of its introduction is not widely documented.

1930s-1950s: The U-NO Candy Bar gained popularity in the San Francisco Bay Area and began to establish a loyal following. It was known for its unique combination of a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth center covered in rich milk chocolate.

1970s: The Cardinet Candy Company faced financial difficulties, leading to its acquisition by the Annabelle Candy Company, another confectionery manufacturer based in Hayward, California. Annabelle Candy Company continued the production and distribution of the U-NO Candy Bar.

Present Day: The U-NO Candy Bar remains a beloved treat among chocolate enthusiasts. It is recognized for its distinctive truffle-like center, which consists of a creamy blend of milk chocolate, almonds, and a hint of liqueur flavor. The center is then covered in a layer of smooth milk chocolate.

The U-NO Candy Bar has maintained its classic recipe and nostalgic appeal over the years, often considered a hidden gem in the candy bar world. While it may not be as widely recognized as some other candy bars, it continues to have a dedicated fan base that appreciates its unique taste and texture.

U-No Candy Bar Memories

When my best friend, Florence, and I attended the 2nd and 3rd grades at Sunnyside School Elementary school in San Francisco, California, only five houses separated our homes, and we spent most of our time together when we were not at school or asleep.

Our favorite activities were skating and riding our bikes, but our most important decisions revolved around how we would spend our candy money.

U-No Candy Bar

What a dilemma! Other candy bars cost five cents. U-No candy bars were smaller and cost ten cents. But they were "oh so special." A discussion always took place each time we walked to the grocery store, but the decision was always the same -- U-No!

In our friend's garage was a loft, where we stashed our U-No bars, Fleers bubble gum and comic books. Evidently, a stranger learned of our stash, and one day robbed us of our treasures. We were devastated, and we mourned our losses, but most of all we wished we had not saved our U-No bars for later long-anticipated enjoyment.

From that day forward, our enjoyment of our U-No bars was heightened by the knowledge that nobody would ever again rob us of the pleasurable indulgence of those extra-special treasures, because we never again would delay savoring the U-No "delights." Once we had them in our hands, the next places they would be going were through the lips, between the teeth, onto the tongues, down the throats, and into our tummies. Yum! ~ Beth from California
