The word "pan" in the company name means that some of the candy they make is manufacturer using a "panned" process. This process involves building candy pieces from single grain, such as a grain of sugar, nuts or candy centers, then tossing them in revolving pans. While these pieces are being tossed the flavor, color and other candy ingredients are then added. This process continues until the pieces become the desired size. Once the size of the candy has been reached, the candy then gets a high polish with an edible vegetable wax, which gives it an attractive appearance.
