The Sweet History of Nut Goodie
How It All Began
The Nut Goodie candy bar first came out in 1912. It was one of the very first candies made by Pearson's Candy Company. Back then, it only cost 5 cents! It quickly became one of the company's most popular treats. It is still sold today, even though other Pearson's candies, like the Seven-Up Bar, are no longer made.
A Classic Returns
Over the years, the Nut Goodie's recipe and wrapper changed a little bit. But in 1985, two employees from Pearson's bought the company. They decided to bring back the original recipe and wrapper. This made many fans happy!
A Minnesota Favorite
Many people love the Nut Goodie, especially in Minnesota. Bonny Wolf, who talks about food on National Public Radio, once said that Nut Goodies are as special to Minnesota as another candy, Goldenberg's Peanut Chews, are to Pennsylvania. Because it's so popular in its home state, the Nut Goodie is often called "A Minnesota Classic."
