Dum Dums add up to smart business for Spangler Candy. In addition to Dum Dum and other lollipop brands (Saf-T-Pops for toddlers), Spangler makes candy canes, circus peanuts, and chocolates. The company produces 10 million Dum Dums and about 3 million candy canes a day, which are sold throughout the US and worldwide. In addition to its own brands, the sweets maker also manufactures products for some of the world's largest candy companies. It has licensing agreements with Disney (for Disney-character candy) and Jelly Belly Candy (to make jelly-bean-flavored candy canes). Spangler Candy was founded in 1906 by Arthur and Omar Spangler, whose family still owns the company.
