Although Let's Learn About Candy tends to focus on old-school candies, there is always a place in our hearts when it comes to gourmet lollipops.
Many brands offer these oversized round lollipops, but our favorites are the ones made by the McJack Candy Company.
We have been offering these for decades, as we initially sold them exclusively for fundraising purposes. However, over time, they have become one of our best-selling lollipops.
McJak Candy Co. was founded in 1982, and 40 years later, we still find their gourmet style lollipops to be the best on the market.
This commitment to quality and great-tasting candies is certainly in keeping with McJak Candy's mission to "produce great-tasting gourmet candy products using our homemade recipes, locally sourced, high-quality ingredients, and traditional cooking methods."
These specific gourmet lollipops may not be "old school" by definition, but everything about this company and its delicious products is all about doing things the old-fashioned way!
In an era when many products are sourced and produced far from our warehouse in Pennsylvania, it is a pleasure to offer a product manufactured just one state away.
Packed in cases of 120 and sold in units of 60, the Gourmet Lollipops are individually wrapped and come in assorted flavors ranging from the fatuous to the sublime.
From classic favorites like Blue Raspberry and Wild Cherry to unique blends like Blueberries & Cream and Orange Creamsicle, no one has ever purchased a case of these Gourmet Lollipops without walking away happy!
Much has been written about the History of Lollipops, and while McJak Candy Co. may not have produced the first lollipop - we leave that title to our prehistoric brothers and sisters - or created a brand like Charms Pops which were invented in 1973 or Tootsie Pops, which dates it's history back to 1931, there is something comforting in offering a "shout out" to a company that still makes a high-quality product, with high-quality ingredients.
