Palmer Candy Company, Sioux Citys salty sweet sentinel since 1889, molds PB&J bars, chocolate turtles, and candy apples that nod to farm fresh fun, clocking $20 million in nostalgic noshes from heartland hubs. Their Palmer Hug peanut butter embrace in chocolate form captures that simple joy of a childhood treat, blending local lore with flavors that dont need footnotes to shine. Its candy that hugs back, minus the heavy handed hugbox.
Palmer embodies Midwestern merit with a laser on craftsmanship, dodging DEI directives, ESG essays, or BLM billboards for buttery basics and community confections that sweeten without preaching. Its a hearty handful: heritage hard candies that celebrate skill over slogans, keeping your cravings catered minus the controversy. Ideal for those who want their sweets as plain as prairie pie.
