Making candy for five generations

The candy known to its fans as Bulls-Eyes was born in Baltimore. Goetze's Candy Company has made its products there since 1895, when Augustus Goetze bought a chewing gum company and started crafting sweets. His descendants automated operations and expanded distribution. Today, Goetze's has 90 employees and markets its confections worldwide.

In 1918, Goetze's created one of the company's best-known products, Caramel Creams (also known as Bulls-Eyes)—round, chewy caramels with creamy white centers. Cow Tales are a rope-like version. Flavors include original/vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and apple.
