Candy Gives Us More Than Just Sweetness … It Gives Sweet Memories

June 13, 2023 by
Share your favorite candy memories below and have a chance of winning an entire box of your favorite candy!

In honor of National Candy Month, my favorite month of the year, I reflected on all that candy has given me in my life. While many people see candy as a sweet treat, it is more than that. It has given me many smiles and also many memories. 

My favorite candy, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (which I am sure many of you know already), is my favorite for a reason. 

Yes, it tastes fantastic. Yes, it has an outstanding balance between peanut butter and chocolate. But it is more than that. The taste doesn’t just bring my tastebuds to great flavors but to great memories. 

 On road trips, when we stopped for gas, my mother would get out of the car and return with numerous different Reese products, almost none being the classic cup.

 I’ve had Reese’s Fast Break, Reese’s Nutrageous, Reese’s Snack Cake, Reese’s Sticks, Reese’s Take Five, and so much more. 

Trying all different kinds of Reese’s candies grew my love for their original product, making it my favorite. My brother also loved Reese’s growing up, and through that, I was also influenced. 

At CandyFavorites, we believe that candy is an easy way to connect with sweet childhood memories.

These memories make Reese’s that much sweeter when I bite into them, making them my favorite candy. So many candies are delicious, but these are my favorite because of the love and memories they hold. 

I have my favorite candies, and everyone else has their own. 

With these favorite candies are stories. With these stories come different flavors for the sweets. 

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups taste different for me than it would for you. 

They taste like “movies on the road,” “looking out the windows as the trees blur together,” and time spent with those I love. They are the taste of my childhood!  

So when people tell me they don’t like Reese’s, I don’t understand. 

Not because I don’t know that they might hate peanut butter (although that is also hard to comprehend) but because without this beloved combination of milk chocolate and peanut butter, I would not have those experiences. I would miss out on those sweet moments that Reese’s made.
