Product Description:
Remember stopping by the five-and-dime on your way home from school to get a handful of your favorite sweet treat? CANDY: THE SWEET HISTORY covers the goodies of yesteryear: Pay Day, Candy necklaces, Lemonheads, Necco Wafers, Chic-O-Sticks, Abba-Zaba, and many more selected for their nostalgic packaging, yummy tastes, and wonderful stories. Inside this tasty tome are more than 85 sensational candies, including those hard-to-find local favorites made by small, family-owned factories relying on handed-down recipes and old-fashioned techniques. Colorful and tempting photos show standout nostalgic candies- some in production for more than 100 years- and the text describes the fascinating stories behind key candy makers and pays homage to our favorites that are no longer available.
