Chase Cherry Mash Candy
This website provides a brief tour of the Chase Candy Factory to
see how Cherry Mash (a popular candy confection in the Midwest) is
made. Cherry Mash consists of a soft, cherry flavored center with
maraschino cherries, covered in a mixture of chopped roasted peanuts
and chocolate.
When you get to the site you will see a brief introduction. Then
simply scroll down the page to see photographs of the candy making
process, and read the descriptive text. You can also click on short
videos and watch each individual manufacturing process in action.
When you complete the tour, read the history of this popular candy
that was first produced in 1918. Visit the “Image Gallery” to see an
archive of Chase Cherry Mash candy wrappers through the years and
other memorabilia.
Oh, and if this tour makes you hungry for Cherry Mash, you can order
it right at the website. :)
