The classic brand of wafers is NECCO, which stands for New England Confectionery Company. Founded in 1847, NECCO is one of the oldest continuously operating candy companies in the United States. Their signature product is the NECCO Wafer, a thin, crunchy, multicolored candy made from sugar, corn syrup, and gelatin. The wafers come in eight flavors: lemon, lime, orange, clove, cinnamon, wintergreen, licorice, and chocolate.
