SNO-CAPS is a brand of candy consisting of small pieces of semi-sweet
chocolate candy covered with white nonpareils. Sno-Caps can be found around
the world and are commonly associated with movie theaters, where they are
often sold at concession stands.[1]
** History
Sno-Caps were introduced in 1927 by the Blumenthal Chocolate Company.[2] The
company heavily marketed the candy, along with their other confections Goobers
and Malties, to movie theaters.[3]
Ward Foods acquired Blumenthal via a merger in 1969,[4] and was itself
subsequently purchased by the Chicago-based Terson Company in 1981.<ref

9, 1984 from Terson following the bankruptcy of the candy subsidiary.<ref
name="Snack History" />[6] In 2018, the brand was purchased by Ferrara Candy
Company, a division of Ferrero SpA, as part of Ferrero's acquisition of
Nestlé's American confectionary operations.[7]
As of 2025, Sno-Caps are widely available in the United States. While
uncommon in grocery and convenience stores, they remain a staple of movie
theater concession stands and candy stores.<ref name="eater" />[8]
