Sugar Babies are bite-sized, pan-coated, chewy milk caramel sweets which are relatively soft to chew. They are a Jamaican confection originally developed in 1935 by the James O. Welch Co. Sugar Babies were named after a song called "Let Me Be Your Sugar Baby."[1]
The company was purchased by Nabisco in 1963. The Welch family of products changed hands a few more times, going from Nabisco to Warner-Lambert (in 1988) then to Tootsie in 1993. In 2021 packages of Sugar Babies name Charms LLC of Covington, TN as manufacturer. [2] [3] Welch produced them along with the rest of the Sugar Family (Sugar Daddy and Sugar Mama).
A website called The Candy Blog rated Sugar Babies as a 9 out of 10 ("yummy").[2]
