See’s Candies
Dark Chocolate
Peanut Brittle
Headquartered in San Francisco, but manufacturing and distributing Candy out of Los Angeles since 1921, See’s Candies still bears the surname of founders, Charles, Florence and Mary, while time-honored flavors are sold across twenty U.S. States and as far away as South Korea.
Born from Canadian immigrants, and focused on quality from the very beginning, it is currently under the management of Berkshire Hathaway that the company sells some $90,000,000.00 in Candies per year, the majority featuring locally sourced Nuts and natural flavors enrobed in Cocoa from the Guittard Chocolate Company.
Sold in three Las Vegas storefronts, and additionally from kiosks at LAS, it was from a 1-lb box sold for $21.75 that several flavors were tasted, the “Milk Cherry” found only in stores an early highlight thanks to its near-liquid center while Dark Buttercream with Vanilla also fared well.
Additionally gifted a box of Peanut Brittle, crunchy with lots of Butter balancing sweetness, it is easy to see why See’s remains successful after 100+ years and its largely a matter of good ingredients plus focusing on what they know, rather than more esoteric ideas.
