Annabelle Candy Inc. was founded in 1950 by Sam Altshuler , a Russian immigrant who arrived in the United States in 1917.
Mr. Altshuler learned the art of candy making, and after struggling for years, finally achieved success with his Rocky Road candy bar. He named his business the “Annabelle Candy Company ” after his daughter and began manufacturing Rocky Road in San Francisco.
In 1965 the company moved across the San Francisco bay to its present location in Hayward, California. After several acquisitions the company has expanded its product line to include: Big Hunk, Look, U-No and Abba Zaba candy bars.
Mr Altshuler passed away in 1971 leaving control of the company to his daughter, Annabelle Altshuler Block. Today the company’s day-to-day operations are managed by Annabelle’s daughter Susan Gamson Karl.
