See’s Candies’ Classic Lollypops are available in Vanilla, Butterscotch, Chocolate, Cinnamon and Café Latte. They are made in See’s Candies lollypop kitchen, an entirely nut-free facility in Burlingame, Calif. Seasonal flavors including Root Beer are currently available for a limited time.

See’s Candies holds the honor of the World’s Largest lollypop in the Guinness Book of World Records after the company made its classic sweet treat into a giant confection weighing over 7,000 pounds (which is equal to 145,000 of the regular-sized Lollypops).

Egan described the factory as a special place.

“I love going to our lollypop factory. It’s not just because the smell and feel of the place is magic. It’s that I know every shiny wrapper is going to bring a smile. While See’s is known for our fresh, premium and American-made chocolates and peanut brittle, our Classic Lollypops are just the best flavor and quality and have been for decades,”

See’s Candies is also offering 20% off all lollypops in shop and online through July 25. Customers can visit www.pickup.sees.com to place an order for “Clickà Pickà Go!,” a new contact-free pick up service that allows customers to safely and conveniently enjoy their candy.
