The History of the Look Candy Bar
Believe it or not, this peanut-filled nougat with a rich dark chocolate covering has been around since the 1950s. Golden Nugget Candy Company was the genius behind this creation, and the candy was, in 1972, acquired by the Annabelle Candy Company, which now owns and manufactures it.
Since then, the company has made several modifications to the candy as well as its packaging to make it more palatable for the masses. Although the Look Candy Bar was only known to a few states in America, it has now become a crowd-favorite in many States as well as countries.
What Does This Candy Taste Like?
Given that it’s dark chocolate, most people would expect this candy bar to have a bitter taste. However, that’s not the case at all. This candy has a mild sweetness to it, thanks to the peanut fillings and the use of molasses. To put it simply, it tastes like the old-timey candies that are made the old-fashioned way, making it a great option for all generations.
With a hard exterior, once you take a bite into this candy bar, you’ll get a burst of flavor as you chew on the crunchy gooey nougat with peanuts.
