When you unwrap an Idaho Candy Company chocolate bar, you’re tasting more than a century of Idaho history. Every bite of our handcrafted candy—whether it’s the classic Idaho Spud Bar—is made right here in Boise, with sugar that’s grown and processed just a few hours away.
That sugar comes from our neighbors at Amalgamated Sugar Company, one of the nation’s oldest sugar producers and an Idaho institution. Their sugar is made from locally grown sugar beets, harvested by farmers across Idaho and refined in plants in Nampa, Twin Falls, and Paul.
That means the sweetness in every chocolate bar we make is truly homegrown—from Idaho soil to Idaho kitchens.
Local Sugar, Local Flavor
Amalgamated Sugar operates as a farmer-owned cooperative, which means every pound of sugar represents the hard work of Idaho growers. By sourcing from them, we’re not just creating delicious candy—we’re supporting local agriculture and keeping our supply chain close to home.
When you enjoy an Idaho Candy Company chocolate bar, you’re helping sustain Idaho farmers and a 100+ year-old candy tradition that’s proudly independent and deeply local.

A Sweet Tradition Since 1901
Founded in 1901, Idaho Candy Company has been handcrafting candy in Boise for generations. Our original factory still stands at 412 S. 8th Street—where we make the same candies Idahoans have loved for decades.
From our signature chocolate bars to toffees and marshmallow treats, everything we make starts with a commitment to quality ingredients and local pride.
So next time you’re craving a chocolate bar with a real Idaho story, grab an Idaho Spud Bar or one of our other nostalgic favorites. It’s the sweetest way to taste a little piece of home.
