One iconic caramel candy, the Rolo, was developed by Mackintosh's in the UK in 1937, combining chocolate and soft caramel for an irresistible treat. The production of Rolos was licensed to U.S. companies, and by the late 20th century, they became widely popular in America thanks to Hershey's acquisition.
The iconic packaging of Rolos, presented in a tube format, has remained a favorite since its inception. Rolos have even inspired creative desserts, such as the McFlurry with caramel sauce, introduced by McDonald's in 2011, which aimed to replicate the delicious Rolo flavor. Explore how caramels have evolved not just as candies, but as an integral part of desserts and confections loved worldwide.
