The sale of Pearson's Candy Co. to Annabelle Candy closed last week, according to Spell Capital Partners, which has owned Pearson's since 2018.

The non-chocolate novelty category, as well as marshmallows and specialty nut and coconut candy, have experienced growth over the last year.

Minnesota-based Pearson Candy Co. has put a seasonal spin on the Salted Nut Roll, offering two limited-edition flavors.

Each bar is packed with peanuts for 5 grams of protein, delicious caramel, fluffy nougat and loads of flavor. 

Looking for a nostalgic confectionery brand, something with staying power? St. Paul-based Pearson Candy Co. could be your go-to company. After all, with a product lineup that features Salted Nut Roll, Nut Goodie, Mint and Coconut Patties as well as Bun Bar, consumers can enjoy classic treats, one which even goes back 104 years.
