Chocolate covered cinnamon bears are to Utah like the Goo Goo Cluster is to Tennessee or the Idaho Spud is to Idaho. All of these crave-able confections marry delectable ingredients with a luxurious chocolate coating. For those who don't already know, Utahns love candy, in fact, we eat more candy per capita than any other US state! So, it’s no surprise that, for almost 120 years, the Sweet's Candy Company in Salt Lake City, is renowned as one of the oldest family-owned and operated candy producing companies in the country.  

The Sweet Candy Company discovered the unusual cinnamon chocolate combination back in 1994 and caught candy lovers by surprise with the new spicy, sweet combination. Sweet's Candy Company president, Richard Kay admits that while demand is high, supply is limited; even though Sweet's Candy now produces nearly one million pounds of chocolate cinnamon bears for distribution around the globe each year.  

Chocolate Cinnamon Bear Candy is Unique to its Home State

The chocolate cinnamon bear joins the ranks of Utah's unusual favorites like fry sauce, a wide array of Jello concoctions, funeral potatoes, and heavenly scones. While not everyone is a fan of all of Utah's favorites, one thing is certain, if you are a sweet-heat lover, you're going to love Sweet's chocolate covered cinnamon bears. Sweet's Candy Company hold the hearts of all Utahns by producing amazing candy, made with only the best ingredients and by using old-world manufacturing methods.  

How Are Chocolate Cinnamon Bears Made?

The magic happens at the Sweet's Candy factory located in SLC, Utah. There are designated rooms for each of the different candy making processes like the fruit sours room, the taffy room, Non-GMO, and the chocolate enrobing room where spicy little red bears get their chocolate covering.

 

  • First cinnamon bears ride along a massive conveyor belt, as long as a football field.
  • The conveyor belt takes the little guys for a ride under a chocolate waterfall.
  • They continue their journey on the conveyor to be cooled to just the right temperature.
  • Lastly, these crave-able little bears are bagged for distribution to grocery stores, retailers and through the Sweet's website for delivery directly to your front door.

I have been a cinnamon bear fan for quite some time but all it took was one little chocolate covered cinnamon bear and I can’t get enough . Our local stores can’t keep them in stock.

Love the cinnamon bears!! I bought 5 bags in Walmart, last ones, and couldnt find any more anywhere! I finally had a friend going to another town and that Walmart had them so I had her buy me 10 more bags. How can I order these? I’m on my last bag and I’m gonna need some before Christmas. Please advise!

Looking for what stores sell Sweets bagged candies ie. Juju hearts, cinnamon lips, conversation hearts, etc. I use to frequent Maceys for it. I always bought the Sweets seasonal bagged candy there. Are you going out of business?

I love your chocolate cinnamon bears, but I’m surprised that you haven’t made them with dark chocolate. I volunteer to be a taste tester.

Thank you thank you for bringing these little gems to Colorado! I just found them here a week ago and am already on my 2nd bag!! I no longer have to wait until visiting UT to find them!! I have 2 questions for y’all: will you make a DARK chocolate cinnamon bear? Bc that would be fantastic! And, why is the serving size only 3? No one stops at just 3! 😀 I would love to tour the factory sometime when I come! Keep up the excellent & addicting candy making!!

I just have to say that I LOVE your chocolate covered cinnamon bears. They are incredible. I just tried to order some for my mom’s birthday (the love of these bears is genetic) but y’all were out of stock. I was worried y’all had stopped making them. I am grateful to know that is not the case. Keep up he great work!!!!
