Sugar Babies (candy)


Sugar Babies are bite-sized, pan-coated, chewy milk caramel sweets which are relatively soft to chew. They are a Jamaican confection originally developed in 1935 by the James O. Welch Co. Sugar Babies were named after a song called "Let Me Be Your Sugar Baby."
The company was purchased by Nabisco in 1963. The Welch family of products changed hands a few more times, going from Nabisco to Warner-Lambert then to Tootsie in 1993, who makes them to this day. Tootsie Roll Industries now makes Sugar Babies. Welch produced them along with the rest of the Sugar Family.
A website called The Candy Blog rated Sugar Babies as a 9 out of 10.
