Sky Bars Are Returning to Candy Store Shelves

Necco is perhaps best known for producing some of the most divisive candies in history, but its legacy isn't limited to chalky Necco Wafers and jaw-breaking Mary Janes. From 1938 to 2018, the company also made Sky Bars, a treat that packs four classic chocolate box flavors—caramel, vanilla, peanut, and fudge—into one segmented candy bar. After missing from shelves for more than a year, the vintage bar is making a comeback, CBS Boston reports.

Sky Bars were discontinued along with the rest of Necco's line of candies when the company shuttered in 2018. Less than a year later, the makers of Circus Peanuts made moves to resurrect the failed brand, but eventually backed out of the deal. Necco brand products have since been sold off to various manufacturers, with Louise Mawhinney, owner of the gourmet food store Duck Soup in Sudbury, Massachusetts, acquiring Sky Bar in January 2019.

The bar is only available to purchase online in boxes of 24 at the moment, but on December 7, Duck Soup is opening an entire Sky Bar store where customers can buy individual bars for $1.98. In 2020, the company plans to ramp up production and get the candy into more stores.
