The \"dud\" name came from the original production attempt to make perfectly round chocolate-covered caramels , the irregular shape was a manufacturing limitation that became part of the brand's character. The brand passed through multiple owners (M.J. Holloway, Beatrice Foods, Leaf) before The Hershey Company acquired it in 1996. The product hasn't changed substantially since launch: a chewy caramel centre coated in Hershey's milk chocolate. Milk Duds are particularly associated with American cinema concession stands, where the small bite-size format works well for sharing during films.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eThe Milk Duds range we stock\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eMilk Duds in the standard American pack format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"el-table-wrap\"\u003e\n    \u003ctable\u003e\n      \u003cthead\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n          \u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eProduct\u003c\/th\u003e\n          \u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eProfile\u003c\/th\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003c\/thead\u003e\n      \u003ctbody\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n          \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMilk Duds Theater Box 141g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n          \u003ctd\u003eThe classic American cinema concession box.

The caramel is the same chewy texture as a soft toffee , chewy enough to pull at the teeth but not so hard it cracks dental work. The chocolate coating is thinner than most chocolate-covered caramels, with the caramel being the dominant flavour and texture. Each piece is roughly the size of a marble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n      \u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eWhy are they called Milk Duds?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n        \u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eWhen Milk Duds launched in 1928, the producer F Hoffman \u0026amp; Company intended to make perfectly round chocolate-covered caramels.
