CandyFavorites.com, Serving Candy Lovers Since 1927

This isn’t our own candy contest, but we feel it’s only right that we let you know when someone is having a serious candy-related giveaway.

Trident and Stride are teaming up to give a whole bunch of people a chance to grab a piece of a million bucks! Chew for the Loot is an instant-win game that will award $1 Million via $50 cash cards. Just grab some gum and make sure your pack includes a Chew for the Loot game piece. It’s important to note that gum packs ordered on our site won’t necessarily include game pieces.

The Specially Marked Packages look like this:

Since you can’t get a game piece online, you have to win in the real world. But they have created a way for you to put your money where your mouth is on Facebook. The Chew for the Loot Facebook tabs on the Stride and Trident pages let you “bling your mouth” using one of your Facebook photos. It’s a little wild — but so are Yetis and Rams.

Check out the Chew for the Loot Official Rules. Like Candy Favorites on Facebook or join our mailing list to find out about all our Candy Contests and money-saving deals!

This has been our best contest ever. Reading the reasons we should choose each of you to win had us laughing and crying. There were so many great responses that we eventually had to just narrow down the finalists and pick a name at random.

And so, without further ado, the winner is:
Mary Ann Wentzel

We’ve learned a lot about our customers over the past few days. Many of you feel really sentimental about Brach’s candy. Some are fueled by sweets every single day (and nobody’d better get between you and your candy). Those of you who are diabetic are not alone in your love of candy — but be careful! We have a whole section of sugar-free candies in every flavor — even Turtles!

The fact that Candy Favorites customers are the sweetest people on earth definitely shone through. So many people asked to receive the candy so they could pay it forward — to family, ailing friends, the military, or volunteer organizations. We will definitely be hosting more giveaways around here, and with more prizes. Because, after all, you definitely deserve it!

If you have a great idea for a contest, tell us in the comments!

Share with us your SWEETEST memory and you can win a $150 SWEETCERTIFICATE

Candy is as much a part of our American culture as hamburgers, jazz, and baseball. Since so many of our sweet memories include candy, we decided to pitch a contest to see to who has the best one to tell.

Do you remember the first time you had Pop Rocks? Did your grandmother make a bad day better with caramel creams? Did your toddler stash all the Marshmallow Peeps in her diaper to keep her siblings from getting any? We know you’ve got something worth sharing.

Give us your best candy story by Friday, August 19 and you could win a $150 Sweetcertificate to spend on CandyFavorites.com. Who else will reward you for reminiscing about candy?

Browse our huge candy selection to jog your memory and we bet you’ll be surprised how many happy scenes return to you. Enjoy, and we look forward to reading your story.
