Over the years, Oh Henry Candy Bars have been associated with Hank Aaron the baseball player, and O.Henry the author. The candy may have been introduced in 1920 - if you are confused, read further - and, in reality, its name came from a young man who used to come to the candy store where chocolate was being made and sold.
Here's some interesting trivia that further sheds light on the origins of the OβHenry Bar postulating that this delicious chocolate and peanut amalgamation may trace its roots back to Incan culture.
Hiram Bingham, in his 1911 book, βLast City of the Incas,β highlighting the creation of Machu Picchu Last City of the Incas, mentions on Page 140 that natives made his group an emergency ration consisting of crude candy sugar and a handful of roasted peanuts placed in an oblong-shaped log of hardwood which the explorers enjoyed on their return journey.
This timeline coincides with an unverified account of a similar candy β The Tom Henry Bar - being invented in 1910 which gives credibility to the OβHenry Bar being mentioned in a 1915 Tom Swift novel that said it was used an βenergy barβ during the First World War.
Regardless of where the name came from, this candy bar fills all the criteria for being delicious with peanuts, caramel, and rich milk chocolate!

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
I hadn't seen these in years so I ordered a box. Now, even though the box had cooling pouches inside and the box plainly said protect from heat, the FedEx delivery placed them on a sidewalk in the 90 degree desert sun. Not the vendors fault.
Perhaps order them in thedead ofWinter only?
Took me back when I was younger.My husband and I used to buy this gum all the time when we were younger.I can tell you this when I got my order in the mail I was not disappointed!π

My dentist advised to have sugarless if one wants something sweet after meals
My dentist advised to have sugarless if one wants something sweet after meals. Since following that advice have never had another cavity, and it's been years. Sugarless hard candy satisfies sweet tooth and keeps mouth from being dry.
