A History of Sixlets: From Past to Present

//

Ah, Sixlets – those colorful little chocolatey bites that have made their way into lunch boxes, Halloween bags, and party favors for over 60 years! Let’s take a trip down memory lane and revisit how Sixlets became the candy that generations have cherished.

It all started in the 1960s, when candy was simple, sweet, and filled with joy. Sixlets quickly stood out thanks to their smooth chocolatey center wrapped in that iconic candy shell, offering a rainbow of fun in every bite. From the very beginning, they’ve been the go-to treat for anyone wanting a pop of color and a blast of flavor. Over the years, the packaging and ads may have changed (remember those old commercials?), but the experience of munching on Sixlets is the same: pure joy.

Today, we're bringing Sixlets back after a short hiatus, but don’t worry – we’re still the same candy you’ve loved for decades. Whether you’re reliving your childhood or sharing the magic with your own kids, Sixlets are here to stay!
