Pearson's Candy Company has been producing quality confections since 1909, and prides itself on quality, tradition and customer satisfaction. The company was founded in 1909 by P. Edward Pearson with the assistance of his two brothers John Albert and Oscar F. Pearson. A few years later, two more brothers Waldemar and C. Fritz joined the Minneapolis-based company, which began as a candy distribution firm, doing a little bit of manufacturing on the side. The Nut Goodie Bar, one of the company's first manufactured products, made its debut in 1912. Pearson's Salted Nut Roll was introduced in 1933. In 1985, two Pearson employees purchased Pearson's Candy Company. Their sole intention was to give the brand the attention it deserved, and return the Nut Goodie and other Pearson products to the quality that had made them famous.

Not the same Nut Goodie bar of the1970's and 1980's!! I use to love them, but now I don't even want to finish the one I bought the other day from MN.'s largest candy store, and it wasn't expired!...

How nice of them to host their 4th Annual Halloween event. I saw this on FB and decided to take my little one to this event. I thought it was going to be quite the big event hosted by Pearson's...

Poor experience buying a case of king sized salted nut rolls from Pearson's. Reaching out to customer service just makes the experience worse. At least I still have time before Halloween.
