NECCO Wafers are a type of candy that have been popular in the United States since their introduction in 1847. They are thin, disc-shaped confections that come in a variety of pastel colors and flavors, including chocolate, vanilla, and orange. Each wafer is about 2 inches in diameter and has a slightly chalky texture. Originally produced by the New England Confectionery Company, NECCO Wafers were often used in candy assortments and as a nostalgic treat. The wafers are known for their unique flavors and are often associated with Halloween and other celebrations. Despite changes in ownership, they remain a classic American candy.
