Bisbees

Bisbees, also known as Bisbee's, are a type of confection. Historically, they were small, round, chocolate-covered candies. The exact origin of Bisbees is somewhat debated, but they were popular in the United States in the early to mid-20th century. Many accounts suggest they were a product of the Queen Anne Candy Company.

The candies typically consisted of a soft nougat or caramel center that was then coated in a thin layer of milk chocolate. Their small size made them easy to consume in a single bite. Bisbees were often sold in boxes or bags and were a common treat found in candy stores and general stores.

While no longer widely manufactured, Bisbees hold a nostalgic place for many who remember them from their childhood. Some confectionery historians and candy enthusiasts have attempted to recreate the original recipe or find vintage examples. The enduring memory of Bisbees reflects a broader trend of popular confections from a bygone era. Their disappearance from the market is likely due to changing consumer tastes, the evolution of the candy industry, and the consolidation of smaller candy companies.
