In our book, taste is everything. That's why we have been making non-chocolate treats to our extremely high standards – standards established by Grandpa Switzer from the very beginning. It's the little things about the way we make our candy that makes all the difference in the world: Using REAL fruit to enhance the taste of our fruit flavored candy. Staying true to the taste of our black licorice – a flavor black licorice purists understand. Adding extra milk to boost the dairy creaminess of our Buttermels. At Switzer's, we absolutely love to make candy. We eat as much as we can – then sell the rest.
