Bogdon’s Candy Reception Sticks
www.bogdonschocolates.com 
     Bogdon’s Candy Reception Sticks were created in Kansas City in 1945 after a bride wanted a special treat for her guests and asked Walter Bogdon, an area candy maker, to help out. The result was a thinly rolled, hard, flavored candy stick hand-dipped in bittersweet chocolate. The sweet creation was instantly popular, and Mr. Bogdon’s customers began requesting them by the crate load.  

     Today, Bogdon Candy Company remains a family-owned business, with over three generations of Bogdon's involved in making fine confections in the same delicious way as Walter did more than 50 years ago–over an open fire, one batch at a time.  

     The Reception Sticks are sold around the world by the company and have become so popular that the company makes, sells and ships more than 100 million every year. And, although the company has announced plans to relocate to New York, Bogdon’s sweet treats will still be remembered for their Kansas City roots.
