My grandfather was the chief candymaker at Sperry Candy for years (Jacob Kraemer). I remember my mother telling us how he would spend many evening hours at the kitchen table creating new recipes. There were other bars he also created including the "Cold Turkey" and the "Denver Sandwich". You may notice the food theme here. I understand that Mr. Sperry, the owner of the the company, was originally in the restuarant business and hence the connection.
