What are the chances of a 100yearold chocolate candy falling in your treat bag this Halloween?Though Goo Goo Clusters may not be as familiar as Kit Kat or Hershey bars,people of all ages have enjoyed this Southern staple(产品)for an entire century.
In 1901,a 19yearold named Howell Campbell opened a candy store in Nashville,Tennessee.He made all kinds of sweets and hard candies with just two copper kettles and about a dozen employees.Then,in 1912,he made the first candy to combine chocolate with other ingredients such as caramel,marshmallow nougat,and peanuts.Originally,these clusters were handwrapped and sold under the counter at a few local stores with a sign reading,“A nourishing lunch for a nickel.” Now,they are known as Goo Goo Clusters.Nearly 20,000 of these chocolate treats are made per hour in a factory in Nashville.
What else makes a Goo Goo so special?“In addition to it being the very firstever combination confection created,its shape also makes it quite unique,” says Beth Sachan,Goo Goo Clusters' senior marketing manager.“The Goo Goo Cluster is a big,imperfectly round mound of deliciousness!”
The 100th anniversary of the Goo Goo Cluster is being celebrated throughout the month of October,the biggest candyselling month of the year.About 40 restaurants in the Nashville area have created unique desserts inspired by Goo Goo Clusters to serve to their customers.
