Description
The Startup Candy Companys confections and candies have been hand-crafted in the state of Utah in the United States since the 1800s. For our most popular candies, the Jumbo Pops and Hard Candy Drops, we still handmake our candies and use the same nostalgic recipes that have been kept for more than 150 years!William Startup started making candy in his basement in Manchester, England in 1820. He developed the first hard candy and called it American Cough Candy because he hoped to bring his new recipe to America one day. However, William passed away before making it to America, but he left his legacy to his son and namesake. William Startup Jr. learned the candy-making process as a young boy and continued to run his fathers candy business.In 1868, William and his new bride immigrated to the United States and made their home in Utah where the dry climate is ideal for candy making. The Startup Candy Company passed through five generations of Startups. Today, it is operated by candy lovers who share an affinity for preserving traditions and creating quality candies for all to enjoy! Our employees use the same recipes and passion for candy making to create one-of-a-kind and old-fashioned candies and suckers.
