My Featured Connections for Easter weekend are candy makers such as John
Cadbury.

I am:

29 degrees from Adolf Ahlgren
Developed a gelatin and gum arabic-based confectionery, by way of a successful 
introduction of a mouth water from a German recipe, named Lÿkerol, and then a
cough 
drop with the same taste and name.

26 degrees from Sam Born
In 1923, he founded the Just Born company in Brooklyn, New York; a candy 
manufacturer that still manufactures Peeps, Mike and Ike, and Hot Tamales. In
his 1924 
declaration for immigration purposes, he indicated he was a chocolate
manufacturer.

22 degrees from John Cadbury

process to 
make solid chocolate - creating the modern chocolate bar.

22 degrees from Domingo Ghirardelli
When the Gold Rush hit California, Domingo went to America and opened his
first store 
in a mining camp where he stocked the shelves with chocolate. In 1852, he
founded a 
confectionery shop in San Francisco which later became known as the
Ghirardelli 
Chocolate Company

17 degrees from Milton Hershey

a new 
course for Hershey and the candy industry and he became the first person in
America to 
mass produce milk chocolate products commercially.

28 degrees from Abel Hoadley
Manufactured an individual honeycomb bar, the "Violet Crumble"

candy 
store chain Jamin. At the end of his life he owned 50 candy stores.

34 degrees from Henri Nestlÿ

already 
known to doctors and pharmacists at the time, but it was only Henri Nestlÿ who
could 
process them into a durable powder.

19 degrees from Harry Burnett Reese
Was an American inventor and businessman known for creating the No. 1 selling
candy 
brand in the United States, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and founding the H.B.

candy 
business while helping run her husband's hotel on Tremont Island in Ontario. 

29 degrees from Izaak van Melle
Started a small factory for the production of sugar confectionery in Breskens,
diagonally 
opposite his father's bakery. In 1932 the brothers Machiel and Pierre van
Melle bought 
the rights to produce the soft fruit caramel - now known as Fruittella.
