History

Sno-Caps introduced in the late 1920s by the Blumenthal Chocolate Company. The company heavily marketed the candy, along with their other confections Goobers and Malties, to movie theaters.[2]

Ward Foods acquired Blumenthal in 1969. The brand was later purchased by the Chicago-based Terson Company in 1981. Nestlé acquired the brand on January 9, 1984, from Terson Company.

In 2018 the brand was purchased by Ferrara Candy Company, a division of Ferrero SpA.
