Sno-Caps is a brand of candy consisting of small pieces of semi-sweet chocolate candy covered with white nonpareils. Sno-Caps can be found around the world and are commonly associated with movie theaters, where they are often sold at concession stands.[1]
History
Sno-Caps were introduced in 1927 by the Blumenthal Chocolate Company.[2] The company heavily marketed the candy, along with their other confections Goobers and Malties, to movie theaters.[3]
Ward Foods acquired Blumenthal via a merger in 1969,[4] and was itself subsequently purchased by the Chicago-based Terson Company in 1981.[2][5] Nestlé then acquired Ward and its brands on January 9, 1984, from Terson following the bankruptcy of the candy subsidiary.[2][6] In 2018, the brand was purchased by Ferrara Candy Company, a division of Ferrero SpA, as part of Ferrero's acquisition of Nestlé's American confectionary operations.[7]
As of 2026, Sno-Caps are widely available in the United States. While uncommon in grocery and convenience stores, they remain a staple of movie theater concession stands and candy stores.[1][8]
