Necco Wafers are a type of candy that have been around since the 1840s. They are small, round discs made from a mixture of sugar, corn syrup, and flavorings. Each wafer has a unique color and flavor, including options like chocolate, vanilla, and orange. The candy is known for its chalky texture and is often sold in rolls. Originally produced by the New England Confectionery Company, Necco Wafers became popular during the 19th century and were even included in military rations during World War II. Despite facing production challenges and temporary discontinuation, they remain a nostalgic treat for many candy lovers.
