Charleston Chews history

Donley Cross was a Shakespearean acter performing before audiences in San Francisco in the early 1900s. During one performance, Cross fell off the stage, injuring his back. The injury ended Cross's acting career so he looked for other fields to conquer.

In partnership with Charlie Fox, Cross opened the Fox-Cross Candy Company in Emeryville, across the bay from San Francisco in 1920 with a candy bar called the Nu Chu. 

The candy bar that made the company famous, however, wasn't launched until 1922. It was named after the dance craze in full swing at the time. It was made of vanilla-flavored nougat covered with milk chocolate. The chocolate and strawberry Charleston Chews were introduced in 1958. 

Charleston Chews were one of the earliest candy bars to capitalize on the use of the freezer in a home refrigerator. Many a Charleston Chews lover has enjoyed their treat by freezing and then smacking it on a hard surface to create many bite-sized pieces.

The shape of the bar has changed a bit over time but the delectable ingredients taste just as great as they did over 80 years ago. Ownership of the company has changed several times over the years. Today Charleston Chews are made by the Tootsie Company.

Charleston Chew memories... My dad and I were in a 7-11 one day and he saw this candy for the first time, the Charleston Chew. He took one look at it and exploded laughing and grabbed me and said, "Mia! Do you remember the story I told you about this guy?!" and he proceeded to tell me that when he was building my grandmother's house, late one night in the cul-de-sac, a man came wandering around the street, and handed my dad a candy bar, saying he invented it, and the man began to sing, "Chew Chew Chew, the Charleston Chew!"

The way my dad's head bobbed as he sang the song cracked me up so now every time we go into a convenient store and see them, we sing that song together, laugh, and then buy one to share. They're SO GREAT for road trips! ~ Mia from Florida
