This is our Kuhdorf Kandy factory. This photo was taken several years ago so this is not exactly what Kuhdorf looks like today. We have expanded alot in the past few years due to the rise in candy demand from our customers. The basic structure is the same but has more rooms and buildings have been added on.

The Early Years: Our great-great Grammy Ethel founded Kuhdorf Kandy in 1907 at the age of 57. Ethel had been taught to make candy before she could walk. She fell in love with confectionary products and always dreamed of opening her own candy shop. She worked hard all through the early years of her life. When she turned 56 Kuhdorf Kandy was well on its way to being built. Six days after her 57th birthday Kuhdorf Kandy had its grand opening. In 1948 when Grammy Ethel died she left Kudorf Kandy to her grandchild, our Grandma Dolly. Dolly was ten when she got Kuhdorf Kandy. Her parents handled most of Kuhdorf Kandy until Dolly was 18. In 1949 when Dolly was eleven she came up with the idea for Cow Pies, one of our biggest selling candies today.

The Family: In 1958 Grandma Dolly got married to Grandpa Pat, a man who loved candy as much as he loved his wife. (Maybe even more) Up until 1960 Kuhdorf Kandy had been family owned and operated. After many days of long debates the family finally agreed to hire someone outside of the family. In December of 1960 Samantha Wentz was the first worker outside of the family. Samantha was immediately welcomed into the family and she made many helpful contributions to Kuhdorf. In 1965 Belinda is born and becomes the soul air of Kuhdorf Kandy. Belinda was attached to Samantha’s hip from the day she was brought home from the hospital. Belinda admired Samantha and everything she did. From a young age Belinda was working in the candy shop (not with the dangerous equipment, of course) and learning all there was to know about making candy and learning the way we ran the business.

Kids and Kuhdorf: In 1968 AHA becomes the number one hard candy in the USA. AHA was created by Samantha Wentz. The staff of Kuhdorf Kandy was having a meeting to decide on new candies. Halfway through the meeting Samantha looks up and declared Aha! When she shared her idea for Kuhdorf’s first hard candy the staff agreed that it was a good idea. They decided that since Samantha said Aha when she thought of the idea that it should be named AHA. In 1975 our Flagship candy, the Marshbutter Pi, is created by Grandpa Pat. He made this as a surprise for his wife and daughter. He combined his love of chocolate with Dolly’s love of Peanut butter and Belinda’s love of marshmallow. The Marshbutter Pi exceeded the selling expectations and is the number one candy in the world for many years. In 1995 on December 31 at 11:58 Hayley was born. On January 1 1996 Alexis was born at 12:01. Four minutes later Belinda’s third and last child was born, she named her Alyssa. The names Alexis, Hayley and Alyssa had been chosen for a special reason. They were named after the hard candy AHA as a surprise to Smantha. (she made AHA). As the year 2000 neared Kuhdorf Kandy realized that they needed to bring in the New Millennium with a new candy. They decided that they would use something with white chocolate because it had recently become very popular. Their white chocolate, dark chocolate and strawberry combination became fondly known as Mushrooms. It was an excellent start to the new millennium. In 2004 Belinda decided that Alyssa, Hayley and Alexis were never too young to learn about Kuhdorf. At the 8 the triplets become the youngest co-owners, consultants and candy testers.

Kuhdorf Today: Over the next few years Kuhdorf Kandy slowly climbed the ladder of success. They hired more and more people from outside the family. They have never moved from their original location but they continue to expand and add more rooms. In 2009 there was an outbreak of the H1N1, popularly called swine flu. In July of 2009 Kuhdorf Kandy made our first gum ever. VitaGum was made in hopes that the vitamins and minerals in the gum would help people get all the nutrients they needed with just 2 sticks of gum per day. When the gum was getting tested they found out that it has the same chemical that they used in the H1N1 vaccination. People flocked to Kuhdorf Kandy and they made millions. They were in all the newspapers, “Kuhdorf kills H1N1!” Today Kuhdorf Kandy is even more popular than it was in 1907. Kuhdorf Kandy will live for generations to come and will continue to grow in American’s hearts forever.
