This is so interesting, Margaret. I had no idea. It's always fun to find out the source of things. And those candies are something I did enjoy as a child.
Very fascinating! Hope you and your family have a blessed Easter week, Margaret. :)
If it's candy, I like it! If it's chocolate candy, I like it even more! I learned something as usual when I come over here. Have a great Easter.
I don't care who makes them, I just love them. Not too fond of the Butterfinger, would rather have a Clark bar. One time our youngest Granddaughter said, when asked what she would like for her birthday, she named off some toys, then said, and some good chocolate. She was about 4 years old, but she had heard her Mother and her aunts plus myself talking about which chocolate was better than some. So she started out early, she wanted the good chocolate. LOL It's turned quite chilly here today. I mowed, but had to wear rain boots over my shoes it was so wet, but suppose to rain more tomorrow, plus Thursday is my grocery shopping day. Friday will be laundry day. No rest for the wicked. LOL Have a good evening.
fascinating..here in india, M&M's and Hersey's are the only ones which are popular
Do you remember when candy was rationed during the War? We substituted Smith Brothers "Cherry" flavored cough drops. That was the only thing close to candy in the candy case in our village grocery store.
I toured the Hershey factory once.....amazing place! Happy Easter Margaret. Hope you get some chocolate eggs.
MMMM Chocolate Thanks so much for sharing.
I enjoyed reading about the candy bars. I love just about any kind out there. If it has chocolate in it, around it, on it, or anything to do with chocolate, I love it!
