The Origins of Sixlets: The aim of this article is to show the reader a journey through candy history.

Sixlets were first manufactured in the sixties by the  Company, a brand manufacturing cute/clever edible items. During that time, colourful pills of candy in chocolates dominated the chocolate products market, but Sixlets had a unique feature of a round shape and a soft and creamy variety inside.

The primary difference of Sixlets to start with was the size, the flavor spotlight was also different.  Sixlets that ranked second in sales did not use only chocolate, but also carob to produce a specific chocolate flavor. It was even used in the present less than carob in the past but gave Sixlets an exotic touch that made its appeal to consumers and an interesting twist to its sweetness. And over time it was discovered that it had a steady audience not only for the Palate but for the bright and multifunctional product.

Apart from being used as a snack,  Sixlets  have now become of remarkable input to the bakers. Because of their rigid case, they are non-stick and can be baked in cookies, cakes, brownies, and the like without becoming a confectionery goo. Here are a few popular ways bakers use Sixlets in their creations:
