These chewy, chocolate candies are downright delectable. In 1896, Austrian immigrant, Leo Hirshfeld set out to make a candy that would not melt in the heat...and that's how Tootsie Rolls were born. The original wrapped penny candy, Tootsie Rolls are now made in a variety of sizes. These 2.25 oz bars are 6 inches long, the perfect size for a light candy snack.
