Tootsie Roll

Tootsie Roll is a popular chocolate-flavored chewy candy that has been around since 1896. It was created by Leo Hirschfield and is named after his daughter, Clara, whose nickname was "Tootsie." The candy is distinct for its unique texture, which is neither quite a chocolate nor a caramel. Tootsie Rolls come in various sizes and have become a classic treat, often associated with Halloween and parades. The company, Tootsie Roll Industries, also produces other candies like Tootsie Pops and Junior Mints, making it a well-known name in the confectionery industry.
