Posted By: <b>Scott Mosley</b><p>Hi Rob,<br /><br />Crofts Candy was just a brand name for candy put out by the Croft & Allen candy company of Philadelphia.<br /><br />The company began as Croft & Wilbur back in the 1860's and eventually the company split into two companies. Wilbur & Sons who continued to concentrate on Chocolates while Croft & Allen concentrated on candy products. <br /><br />Eventually, Croft & Allen must have gotten back into at least some Chocolate products as they gave us Crofts Cocoa.<br /><br />Amazingly, Wilbur Chocolates is still in business today.
