Headquartered in Bryan, Ohio, Spangler's products include lollipops,[1] candy canes, and marshmallow circus peanuts.

Dum-Dums, the company's most recognized brand, were invented in 1924, and Spangler purchased the rights and equipment in 1953.

Spangler gives Bryan its identity as the "Dum-Dums Capital of the World" and the largest manufacturer of candy canes in the country.

In those early years, Spangler manufactured: Creme Peanut Clusters, Cocoanut Balls, Bryan Drops, hand-dipped chocolates, chocolate bars, ice cream cones, soda pop, and cough drops.
