How to Celebrate Thanksgiving With Your Favorite Retro Candy

November 11, 2016 by

When Thanksgiving comes around, there’s bound to be plenty of discussion about food. Especially if you’re the one tasked with hosting the event, we’re willing to bet that you are already up to your ears with ingredient lists and potential food ideas that will please the many varied taste buds that you’ll be welcoming around the dinner table.

While most people tend to stop their checklists at dessert, we feel that isn’t quite fair to the most important food group: candy, of course. Sure, pumpkin pie and turkey are Thanksgiving staples, but has anyone ever complained about a little bit of candy on the side? We don’t think so. And, if you’re as much of a candy lover as we are, then we would definitely support your motion to bring candy to the Thanksgiving table.

In fact, we’re so enthusiastic about this that we want to help you celebrate with your favorite retro candies. Sound like a plan? Then read on!

Your relatives may remember when these came onto the scene in the 1950’s, which will add an extra nostalgic boost. But even the ones too young to remember will definitely be able to satisfy their sweet tooth.

So whether you favor the pink or the blue buttons, we think everyone will agree that these are a great addition to your Thanksgiving table. The fact that they’re share-able makes them just that much better. Talk about a candy that gets the spirit of the holiday, right?

These are just a few delicious retro treats that would be a welcome addition to your Thanksgiving spread. We have plenty of candies from days gone by, so feel free to take a look around! When you bring one of these sweet treats with you to Thanksgiving, you’ll have just one more reason to be thankful.

Remembering the Simple Things

January 8, 2006 by

I always loved Candy Buttons as a kid. The pink, yellow, and blue little drops of sugar on paper. They tasted great and always gave you energy! Plus they were small, so you could get away with eating a lot of them. But as time passed I was introduced to new and exciting candy, and I forgot about the Candy Buttons. They were old-fashioned.

This Christmas my three year old cousin came to visit. Among her gifts of Disney Princesses and videos, my mom put in a package of Candy Buttons. My cousin was so excited! She had some before dinner, during dinner, and after dinner! We even used them to bribe her to take her medicine! But it was so much fun to see the joy on her face. She ran around the house chasing our dogs and giggling while on her sugar high. Of course she slept very well on the ride home.

Sometimes you forget how much fun some things can be. I mean now there are millions of videogames that kids can play, but do you remember how much fun it was to play Monopoly? And of course now we have e-mail, but isn’t is great when you receive a letter? Candy is the same way! Sure the chocolate bar with 5 different things in it tastes great, but Candy Buttons taste just as good and remind you of a simpler time. A time of Monopoly, letters, and little colored drops on paper.

So pass on the good times to your family and friends. Invite everyone over for a board game, or write a letter to a friend. And of course, always pass on the joy that is Candy Buttons.

Until next time, this is Kandy K…..stay sweet!
