Tootsie Roll is a chocolate-flavored taffy-like candy that has been manufactured in the United States since 1907. The candy has

either confection. The manufacturer, Tootsie Roll Industries, is
based in Chicago, Illinois. It was the first penny candy to be
individually wrapped in America. (From Wikipedia)
