The beloved candy's disappearance came after the factory in Revere, Massachusetts that made Necco Wafers closed abruptly in 2018. The brand was eventually purchased out of bankruptcy by Spangler Candy Company, which is launching the candy's comeback.
The original formula remains unchanged for seven of the eight original flavors. Lemon (yellow), lime (green), orange (orange), clove (light purple), cinnamon (white), wintergreen (pink) and licorice (dark grey) will taste the same, but there were minor improvements made to chocolate (brown) to add a richer cocoa flavor.
The same wax paper is also being used to package the candy, so Necco lovers will still feel that sense of nostalgia every time they grab a roll.
