This year, Goetze’s Caramel Cremes are celebrating their 100th Birthday! Today, the 5th generation of family is running and operating the Goetze’s company.

Goetze’s Story

Goetze’s Candy story began in 1895, with a father, August Goetze, and his son William. August worked as an engraver, producing many of the printing plates for the Baltimore Chewing Gum Company. During this time, he became aware that the gum business was performing poorly and made an offer to buy the business for his son.

William’s son, R. Melvin Goetze, Sr., joined the company in 1909. Not long after that, the First World War began. The family stayed in the confectionery business during this time, despite the shortage of commodities, such as chicle. It inspire the family to develop new confections, and in 1917 Melvin began making “chuees” (Caramel Creams® without the center) out of the family’s kitchen. Caramel Creams were developed soon after and were released the following year.
