Charleston Chew is a candy bar consisting of flavored nougat covered in chocolate. Created in 1922 by the Fox-Cross Candy Company, the candy was named for the Charleston, a popular dance at that time.
The company was purchased in 1957 by Nathan Sloan. who doubled the size of the production line before he sold the company to Nabisco in 1980. Although he did not invent the Charleston Chew, he did change the candy's original blueprint, chocolate-covered vanilla nougat. In the 1970s, he introduced such new flavors as chocolate and strawberry. Tootsie Roll Industries purchased Charleston Chew from the Warner-Lambert Company in 1993.
The candy is available in vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry flavors. At one time there was a fourth flavor, banana. Charleston Mini Chews are a bite-sized, similarly-shaped version of the candy bar, introduced in 1998. In 2006 a spherical version of the Minis, about the same size as Milk Duds, was introduced. In Canada, Charleston Chews are available only in vanilla and chocolate.
Charleston Chew candy bars have been used to demonstrate rheology (the effects of temperature and strain rate on the deformation of materials) to students in university geology labs.

Go to the Tootsie Roll website. As of 1993 they own Charleston Chews. They have a bit of history on their site about Charleston Chews. I hope this helps a little.

Well I know the factory was always located just outside of Boston, MA and was a very old building, because I used to drive by it all the time. If I am correct though, it is no longer in business in that old factory. Perhaps if you try their website they might have a number you could call or something, and someone would be nice enough to help you?
