PROFILE |
 |
Maybe investment guru Warren Buffett has a sweet tooth. If so, See's Candies has what it takes to satisfy it. Owned by Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, See's makes more than 100 varieties of premium chocolate truffles, caramels, toffee, and other candies, including boxed assortments, lollipops, and kosher treats. It sells them at about 200 black-and-white decorated shops primarily along the West Coast. See's products are also sold as fundraisers, through its Internet site, and by mail order. Founded in 1921 by the See family (Mary See's picture is still on the candy boxes), See's was sold to Berkshire Hathaway in 1972.
