Tacoma's Sweet Legacy
Brown & Haley was founded in 1914 in Tacoma, Washington by Harry Brown and J.C. Haley. The company began producing chocolates and candy from a small Tacoma kitchen and grew steadily through the early 20th century. In 1923, the company introduced ROCA Buttercrunch — a confection of hand-tossed butter toffee coated in chocolate and sliced almonds — that would become the company's signature and an iconic Pacific Northwest product.
The ROCA name comes from the Spanish word for rock, reflecting the candy's crunchy texture. The gold foil wrapper and distinctive pink tin that hold ROCA have become instantly recognizable in the Pacific Northwest and, increasingly, across the country.
Made in Tacoma
Brown & Haley's manufacturing facility in Tacoma, Washington has been producing ROCA and Mountain Bars for over a century. The candy-making process is labor-intensive: the buttercrunch toffee is cooked in open copper kettles, poured onto cooling slabs, enrobed in chocolate, and rolled in chopped almonds — all by hand.
The Mountain Bar, Brown & Haley's other signature product, is a peanut butter nougat center enrobed in chocolate — a Pacific Northwest candy tradition since 1921. The bar's combination of sweet nougat, peanut butter, and chocolate in a simple format reflects the approachable candy-making tradition of early 20th-century American confectionery.
Pacific Northwest Tradition
Brown & Haley's products have become woven into Pacific Northwest gift-giving culture. ROCA tins appear at holiday gift exchanges, business client gifts, and family celebrations across Washington and Oregon. The distinctive pink tin is recognized as a regional symbol — the candy equivalent of Seattle's Pike Place Market or Oregon's Crater Lake.
The company has expanded its ROCA line to include dark chocolate, salted caramel, and other flavor variations while preserving the original formula that has been made in Tacoma for over a century. Brown & Haley remains a family-oriented company committed to Tacoma manufacturing and the Pacific Northwest community that has supported it for more than 110 years.
