Lancaster Soft Crèmes

Lancaster Soft Crèmes (Chinese: 悠漫; pinyin: Yōu Màn) are a caramel or milk-based candy produced by The Hershey Company.

The crèmes were inspired by similar caramels produced by the first candy company founded by Milton S. Hershey—the Lancaster Caramel Company.

The new company initially supplied the chocolate needed to coat the caramels produced at Lancaster before the more famous Hershey bar was developed.

[1][2] Rather than using a test market, the two versions of the caramels were developed separately to cater to the different tastes of consumers in China and the U.S.[3] The Lancaster product in China is a more traditional milk-based candy popular in Asia, while the U.S. product is caramel-based with a more "sweet and salty" taste.

[3] Lancaster Soft Crèmes are produced in Canada for the U.S., and a local confectionery in Hunan is used for the Chinese market.
