You might have heard the name "Oh Henry!" and thought of baseball legend Hank Aaron, but the real story behind this classic "Peanutty, Caramel, Fudge Bar" is even more fun.
The bar is believed to have been launched around 1920 by the Williamson Candy Company in Chicago.
The name reportedly came from a charming young man named Henry who visited the candy shop so often — and flirted so shamelessly — that the girls working there would call out "Oh, Henry!" every time he walked in.
The peanut-and-sweet combination may have even older roots....
Explorer Hiram Bingham wrote in 1911 about native guides in Peru serving his group a trail snack of sugar and roasted peanuts pressed into a mold — a surprisingly familiar combination.
According to one unverified account, a similar candy called the Tom Henry Bar existed as early as 1910.
That would help explain why a candy resembling the Oh Henry! Bar was reportedly mentioned in a 1915 Tom Swift novel as a soldier's energy boost during World War I.
As the ol' saying goes, " if it ain't broke, don't fix it..." and that is exactly what Ferrero Group did when they acquired the brand in 2018
One thing needs no footnote — it's delicious and has been for over 100 years!

We are not sure "Peanutty" is an actual word, but it does convey the main ingredient of this delicious candy bar.
As of 2018, this candy bar is no longer Kosher Certified

It tasted just like it
It tasted just like it did over 10 years ago. Shared some with friends and the smiles and comments you knew that you had shared a great candy bar. It was nice to see that the bar is now a double bar. GREAT JOB.
Everything Wonderful...Fresh always, Deliver Quick. The only think was the order was large & in one bag would have liked in two bags. Recommend to everyone...Thank you Always

Thank you for leaving a review for our Charms Sweet and Sour Pops. We're so glad to hear that you and your grand babies enjoy them together. We love it when a classic candy is shared across generations, or as we like to say, 'before retro candy was retro.' We hope your grandchildren enjoyed them as much as you did!
We're so glad to hear that it's a childhood favorite for you. 😍 We hope it continues to bring you joy and nostalgia, and we hope that the manufacturer keeps making these oh so iconic and delicious gumballs!
I tried a limited time release butterfinger french toast bar from a convenience store and went back next day and they were sold out. After many online retailers advertising the same bar for $10-$12 each I found candy favorites online and was able to get 3 boxes of these amazing bars shipped to my home on ice packs all for around $2 per bar.
I Keep them in the fridge. Grandkids have discovered they are there so I may be ordering again very soon!
