Tootsie Roll, the chocolaty candy product, was named after Clara Hirschfield, whose nickname was Tootsie. Her father, Leo Hirschfield, came to the United States in 1896 and set up a small candy store in New York City, where he hand-rolled and wrapped a candy creation whose recipe he had brought from the old country. Tootsie Roll became the first wrapped penny candy in America.
