Mary Jane (candy)

Mary Jane Candies

Mary Jane is a peanut butter- and molasses-flavored taffy-type candy. Originally made in 1914 by the Charles N. Miller Company and later by Stark Candy Company,[1] it is now manufactured by Necco.[1] Charles Miller named the candy after his favorite aunt, Mary Jane, and it has featured the same "little girl" illustration on its wrappers since its inception. Mary Jane candies are currently made in Revere, Massachusetts.[2]
