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 O’Henry Bar postulating that this delicious chocolate and peanut amalgamation may trace its roots back to Incan culture.
Hiram Bingham, in his 1911 book, “Last City of the Incas,” 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 – The Tom Henry Bar - being invented in 1910 which gives credibility to the O’Henry Bar being mentioned in a 1915 Tom Swift novel that said it was used an “energy bar” 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 have shared the mints with friends, co-workers and Pastor, it's very popular, they have asked about the company, so i have shared the company name. we all love it because of it's freshness! Thank you!

I Love the Reeds rolls and hand them out to all that love candy!!
Thank you for your kind review and for sharing the love of Reed's hard candy rolls with others. We are so happy to hear that you enjoy them as much as we do. And we agree, Reed Rolls are as hard to find as they are delicious to eat! Thank you for being a loyal customer of CandyFavorites.com!
Does not taste SOUR at all .VeryDisappointing .
The bag is 70% Yellow , 25% Red
5% Orange & Green . Should Be a more equal mix !!!
Thanks your review and we apoligize for any inconsistency. Unfortuantely, an assortment is just that and while it would be ideal if it was even distribution, it seldom happens. There is not much we can do as we are not the manufacturer and assortments are dictated by hance but we will certainly pass on your feedback to the manufacturer. Thank you for your understanding and we remain at your service...
Perfect for our ‘Ready to Pop’ party. We used them for decoration and thank you gifts. They were delicious and last a really long

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.
