Sixlets

Sixlets are a small, round candy-coated chocolate-flavored candy. The chocolate centers are made from a mixture of cocoa and carob, giving them a "malted" taste. They are usually sold in thin cellophane packages that hold them in a tube-like formation. The ball-shaped candies come in a number of colors, including red, brown, yellow, green, and orange. An Easter variation of the candy adds white, pink, and blue pieces while removing red and brown ones from the mix.

In 2003, Hershey Foods Corporation sold their rights to the Sixlets brand name to SweetWorks, Inc. [http://www.thehersheycompany.com/news/release.asp?releaseID=407611 ¹]

On some variations of the Sixlets package there is a web address (www.sixlets.com). This address does not exist on the web. However, at one time, the site did redirect to SweetWorks' webpage [http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.sixlets.com]

Controversy

Some claim that different colors have a slightly different taste from one another, due to their candy coated shells. For example, the orange-colored ones taste like orange chocolateFact|date=July 2008.However, this claim is widely disputed, and largely unsubstantiated by evidence.
