Goo Goo Cluster · Nashville
A round chocolate-coated candy of caramel, marshmallow nougat and peanuts, invented in Nashville in 1912. The first ever combination candy bar in America.
The Standard Candy Company invented the Goo Goo Cluster in Nashville in 1912: caramel, marshmallow nougat, peanuts and milk chocolate. It is widely cited as the first combination candy bar in America, predating the Snickers by 18 years. The cluster shape was named in a streetcar after a passenger said 'goo goo' at a child. Goo Goo's are still made in downtown Nashville; the Standard Candy flagship at 116 3rd Avenue South runs a chocolate-shop tasting and limited-edition flavours.
