Home of the Idaho Spud Bar since 1901
T.O. Smith came to Boise in 1901 to help build the Dewey Palace Hotel. When the job ended, he didn't leave. He started making candy and selling it door to door out of shoe boxes. It caught on fast. Within months, seventeen candy makers were working out of a small frame shop, supplying Boise's sweet tooth. By 1909, T.O. had moved the operation into a purpose-built factory at 412 S. 8th Street, a building we still use today. In 1918, we introduced the Idaho Spud Bar: a cocoa marshmallow center enrobed in dark chocolate and finished with coconut. It's been a staple ever since. Four families. 125 years. Same factory, same recipes, same standards. Idaho Candy is now proudly veteran owned and still making candy the way T.O. intended.
