Leaf Brands, LLC is a candy company based in Newport Coast, Newport Beach, California.
[1] Leaf International was once the fourth largest candy producer in North America, producing such products as Whoppers, Jolly Rancher, Milk Duds, Rain-Blo bubble gum, the Heath bar and PayDay, before it sold the U.S. division to The Hershey Company in 1996 and left the United States.
[2] In 2011, the company was revived, and the newly re-formed company made its official debut at the 2011 Sweets & Snacks Expo.
The company registered the Hydrox trademark which had been abandoned by former owner Kellogg's,[3] and re-created the brand of cookies, a precursor to Oreos, which had been out of production since 1999.
Leaf Brands began selling the product through Amazon Marketplace in September 2015.
