If you liv(ed) around South Bend..........

You may be referring to "Chocolate Charlie", a mixture of nuts, marshmallows
and chocolate only produced by Claey's Candy Co for the holidays. Chocolate
Charlie has been an area tradition for years

South Bend Chocolate Co. and Claey may be related somehow or another, but
Claey is famous for their horehound drops and other bagged goodies sold
around here for years.

South Bend Chocolate Co. is a big operation now, with kiosks in malls in Ft.
Wayne, Indianapolis and Chicago that I know of, besides the local ones.
It's not just a local operation anymore.

South Bend Chocolate and Claeys Candies are different entities. Clayess
Candies makes Chocalate Charlie a mixture of chocalate' marshmallow and
peanut concoction which was originally named Charlie Chaplin but renamed
during the "Red Scare" of the fifties

The Claeys plant and the South Bend Chocolate plant were, last I knew,
located very close to each other in the area by Covaleski Stadium, just a
short walk from the former Studebaker Administration Building and the old
train station. At least that's where I remember them. Heck, they both
could have moved and I wouldn't know it. I don't drive down that
infrequently traveled street very often.

I'd say the South Bend Chocolate Co.'s most famous product is the "Domer".
Some sort of chocolate named after the "Golden Dome". I can't even tell you
what that is, but I think every kid in the area learns about Chocolate
Charlie pretty early on.
