Bryan, OH — Necco Chocolate Wafer Rolls are coming back to the market, according to Spangler Candy Co. The iconic product will be available online and in-store this spring. The Necco Wafers originally debuted in 1847, making it one of the oldest candy brands in existence.
“Once we brought back the original assorted roll of Necco Wafers this past summer, the demand for the chocolate roll was almost instantaneous,” says Diana Eschhofen, Spangler director, corporate communications. “We know this has been a long-awaited return, and we’re ready to give chocolate candy lovers something they’ve been missing.”
The Necco Wafers brand was acquired by Spangler Candy in 2018, and after a two-year hiatus the company was able to return the original Necco Wafers rolls to store shelves with the recipe remaining essentially unchanged. However, the company says consumers might detect a slight taste difference in the new chocolate wafers resulting from “a minor improvement made in the cooking process” that gives the wafers a richer cocoa flavor.
“We are confident that original and new fans alike will be delighted with the experience of the Necco Chocolate Wafer Roll,” says Eschhofen.
Each two-ounce roll holds 40 chocolate wafers and has an SRP of $1.29.
