Sixlets

Sixlets are small round candy-coated, chocolate-flavoured candy made by Oak Leaf Confections, a Chocolat Frey company based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The United States Food and Drug Administration recognized that Sixlets are safe for human consumption during a 1961 study.

An Easter variation of the candy adds white, pink, and blue pieces while removing red and brown ones from the mix.

In 1996, Hershey purchased the North American confectionery operations of Leaf, Inc., including such brands as Jolly Rancher, Heath Bar, Whoppers, Chuckles, Milk Duds[4] and Sixlets.

[5] In 2003, Hershey Foods Corporation sub-licensed their rights to the Sixlets brand name to SweetWorks Confections LLC.
