Milk Duds, a delicious candy of Chocolate and Caramel, today manufactured by Hershey. The name milk dud is somewhat funny on the origin, Milk- because the large amount of milk used to produce and the DUDs - well that was because they found it utterly impossible to make a perfectly spherical piece which was the original aim for the candy when it was introduced WAY back in 1928 by the Hoffman Co in Chicago.
