ChocolateBet: September 25, 2007

Chocolate of the Day:

BB Bats - Chocolate flavor
(Gilliam or Georgia Nut Company?)
Very Good: better than expected.
Weight: .4 oz. (estimate) for 1 piece/sucker
Calories: ?
Cost: Price was 25 cents
Purchased from: Nuts for Candy in Burlingame, CA

BB Bats are small, individually-wrapped, flavored taffy suckers/pops that date back to the 1920s and the era of "penny candy." Today's BB Bat was Chocolate flavored and I really enjoyed it.

A number of companies have produced BB Bats over time. I believe when I bought this BB Bat, they were being produced by Georgia Nut Company.*

*Note: Georgia Nut Company later got out of this business, and as of the Spring of 2012 Runk Candy had started making BB Bats.
