The PEEPS® Brand is our most widely known candy brand, particularly for the PEEPS® Chick and PEEPS® Bunny at Easter time. PEEPS® Marshmallow Candy is available in a variety of shapes, colors and flavors at all the major seasons including Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter and Summer.
MIKE AND IKE® is our largest brand by dollar sales and is a top selling fruity, chewy candy brand available in a wide array of flavor varieties and package sizes. HOT TAMALES® is the number one cinnamon candy in the USA and is usually positioned right next to MIKE AND IKE® in candy retail locations. The MIKE AND IKE® Original and HOT TAMALES® Theater Boxes are two of the best selling items among candy packaged in boxes and are available nationally in all major retailers.
The GOLDENBERG’S® PEANUT CHEWS® Brand which we acquired in 2003 is our oldest candy brand and is still a leading regional chocolate candy with sales strength in Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore and Tampa.
ust Born is the tenth largest candy company in the country. All of our candy is proudly made in the USA and Canada using globally sourced ingredients. We employ more than 600 associates, most of whom are at our world headquarters and candy factory in Bethlehem, PA, where we produce PEEPS®, MIKE AND IKE® and HOT TAMALES® Candies.
