The Stark Candy Company, originally the Howard B. Stark Company, was a candy manufacturer founded in 1939, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.[1] It was a competitor to Necco and manufactured products including candy hearts,[2] candy raisins,[2] Mary Janes,[3] peanut butter kisses,[3] salt water taffy,[3] and candy cigarettes.
Stark moved from Milwaukee to Pewaukee in 1960.[1] In 1988, it was purchased by Necco. In 2008, Necco announced the Stark plant would close.[4] Candy raisins were discontinued after the company was purchased by Necco, sparking a consumer backlash.[2]
