[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really random, but today i visited the only historical candy shop in America. The owner was there and i spoke to her and she is a candy historian.  I shit you not, they sold little grandma purses full of old fashioned grandma candy.[/quote]

where is this?

both sets of my grandparents had various hard candies (butterscotch, the strawberry wrapped ones, just solid colored hard drops), nips (still love those!) and andes candies. i also associate bit o honey and those peanut butter taffies with older generations. [/quote]

Harpers Ferry. The store is fascinating. They have all of the candy in sections based on the centuries, starting around 1600.

I learned today that Native Americans brought us corn sugar, but the slaves really brought into into mass production with sugar cane sugar. She speaks all around the country on the history of candy.

My kids could pick out any cady they wanted, but they first had to read the history and know the time period.
