They did the mash, the Cherry Mash
The Christopher's Big Cherry (now made by Adams and Brooks, the P-Nuttles folks, est.1887) is a well known lump of chocolate lumping its
brown yummy self aorund a pink nougat like fondant of maraschino cherry with a real cherry.
The Chase Cherry Mash is very similiar but without the longevity (1917- and the BC was already THIRTY YEARS old by then!-or the cherry).
The Idado Candy Company, located in Idaho and the maker of the Idaho Spud (which I have not had for ages), HAS made a Big Cherry/Cherry Mash like candy with a cherry,though.
I've had Chase's big Cherry when I go to Vegas, at the Lick candy store in Bally's lower level (south side of Flamingo road) and its pretty good, but they also have upstairs at the chekc in a store that has..you guessed it, CX's Big Cherry, and sometimes I gotta have that cherry.. The Cherry Mash is exactly like the Boig Cheryr without the pit as said and is pretty good to eat and taste well, just so long that you don't expect any cherries. BY the way...although "cherries have pits" is on the other candies, I have NEVER experience ANY cherry pits in these.....

BIG CHERRY
BIG CHERRY
What candy goes on Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer's nose for a replacement nose?
Big Cherry, that's what!
Made for years by the Christopher Confectionery Company,Inc.for
this is LITERALLY, if you bite into it, revealed to be red enough to be
'shoved on other favorite reindeer's nose..
Big Cherry is currently produced by Adams and Brooks, Los Angeles, Calif. - y'know, those P'Nuttles guys- currently,
and comes like so many in dark chocolate versions...
Anyhow, here is the basic description.
The chocolate..nuts..
then the cherry marshmallow nougat
and then the actual Cherry (See? It acutallu has fruit!)
The candy is, not surprisingly, shaped somewhat like a cherry, in that it;'s round only much bigger.
This sits in both modern and so-called old time candy stores, interestingly, like Neccos (and in many cases) either
Melster, Spangler, or both Circus Peanut types and the Chic-O-Sticks, along with the more "cool" candies.
It was first manufactured in 1887 before rivals such as Chase's "Cherry Smash" (which appeared 20 to thirty years later)!
and is the oldest of the type: a chocolate coated cherry nougat or creme, in this case with maraschino cherry-a real one.
Biting into it the first time, well, to quote the American Pie movie phrase...."there's nothing quite like that first piece".
The outer has an exterior of immnsely-chopped-up nuts in chocolate, thus giving a unique
style of "gravelled" chocolate before you bite into the maraschino cherry easter eggy creme
and then to the maraschino cherry itself in the center proper.
The only difference between regular and dark is the chocolate and the cover.
