The first design of this pan was created in 1965 by a steel salesman, named Archibald, to help his candy-making wife, Adele, get a consistent size for toffee. It required 2 people to use the knife and made extra large batches! Every year at Christmas time, Adele would make hundreds of chocolates that Archibald would gift to his best customers. It was rumored that some kept buying from him just so that they would keep getting Adele's delicious homemade chocolates.
