Did you know that the idea of combining caramel and chocolate came up to Milton Hershey? You might be surprised to know, that he began his career at caramel company. Hershey began experimenting with caramel candies to improve them in the late 1800s and found some German-built machines for manufacturing chocolate. Eventually Hershey's attention completely shifted to chocolate, but the very first his product was chocolate-covered caramel candy. These candies became very popular and they are still adored by kids and adults around the world.
