CHICAGO CANDY WORKS

Back in 1959 when Master Candy Maker Elmo Lanzi made his first batch of Cashew Nut & Rice Crunch for a family picnic in suburban Chicago, he had already retired after 40 some years in the candy business. But, fortunately for candy lovers everywhere, Elmo was "just no good at retiring."... At its peak, Lanzi's was sold in department stores across the country and was selected three times by Manufacturing Confectioner magazine as Candy of the Year. Sadly, Elmo's prized crunch began to disappear from store shelves in the early 80's following his passing and the shuttering of the family's storefront factory... The mouthwatering confection created in 1959 by Chicago master candy maker Elmo Lanzi, now lovingly recreated by Chicago Candy Works with the finest natural ingredients
