Help Us Celebrate our Sweet 96th Birthday!

July 26, 2023 by

This week, we will be humbled to celebrate the 96th birthday of McKeesport Candy Co., established in 1927, the Oldest Wholesaler Candy Company in the nation and the partner of CandyFavorites.com, the Internet’s First Online Candy Store.

Jon H.Prince / President

When my grandfather created the company in 1927 and passed it to my father in the 1950s, little could they imagine that the company would continue to grow and be as relevant today, maybe even more so, as it was decades prior. 

We have worked hard to stay true to our founding principles of providing excellent customer service and competitive prices as we believe the “Future of Candy is Rooted in the Past.” 

Please accept my heartfelt thanks to our valued customers who have allowed us to be of service for over nine decades and to continue the tradition of being a privately owned, third-generation family business.

Without YOUR support, this would never have been possible! 

As a token of appreciation, please enjoy a 10 Percent Discount – and a lower Free Shipping threshold – on our birthday on Friday, July 28th! 

Sincerely,

Jon H.PRINCE

President

Candy in Pop Culture, Valentine's Candy

Brachs and Sweetheart Conversation Hearts are true “Old School” candies.

January 10, 2023 by
Conversation Hearts are a sweet way to express your feelings!

Conversation Hearts have long been a beloved Valentine’s treat, and we have been offering them for over ninety years in various flavors, shapes, and sizes.   As old-school candies go, these deserve a place close to the top of the list!

These hard, sugary sweets come in an array of fun colors and usually have an endearing phrase or saying stamped into the hard candy exterior. 

Although we lament the loss of the original NECCO Conversation Hearts – Necco went bankrupt in 2018 after a 171-year run –  the Sweethearts brand was purchased by Spangler – another old-school candy company that opened in 1906 – and the formula remains much the same. A sign of relief was heard from candy lovers around the globe!

Brachs – who has been around since 1904, perhaps you are sensing a theme – also makes conversation hearts, and there has been a long-standing debate about whether Sweethearts or Brachs tastes better.

So despite Brach’s eliminating 90 percent of their bulk candy offerings, we were thrilled that we got a shipment of their conversation hearts this year, so we will stay neutral in this discussion.

Their enduring popularity is likely due to their convenience – they’re fun, easy to store and transport because they are all but impervious to heat, and are sure to bring back childhood memories.

Their charming visuals range from traditional, pastel-colored hearts to bright and fun shapes, and the sayings – from “love you” to” you are awesome,” to name a few- are fun, personal, and inclusive.

Whether you prefer Brachs or Sweethearts, conversation hearts remain a special treat to share with a loved one this Valentine’s Day as your parents, and maybe even their parents, did!

Kidsmania Dino Doo, Llama Doo, and Unicorn Doo are truly unique!

January 5, 2023 by

CandyFavorites is proud to present three fun and whimsical products from Kidsmania, one of our favorite novelty candy manufacturers – Llama Doo, Unicorn Doo, and Dino Doo.

These three candy “poopers” are perfect for a conversation starter or for someone who is looking for a good laugh, as the creatures are as adorable as the candy is delicious. They surely offer a new take on a candy dispenser!

A Llama with a rainbow mane is a rarity, but that is just. one more reason why Llama Doo is a winner.

Llama Doo is an adorable tan llama with a rainbow mane that has the unique ability to “poop” yummy candy pellets with a simple twist of its elongated neck! 

Unicorn Doo is as cute as it is whimsical. A true conversation starter!

Unicorn Doo’s rainbow-colored design makes it look magical, and as you pull it’s tail, candy pellets will come out of its bottom , only adding to one’s sense of wonder – or bewilderment or perhaps disgust.

We admit that a purple dinosaur is pushing the limits , but Dino Doo is adorable!

Finally, Dino Doo’s prehistoric-resembling creature, in colors never before seen in nature, will produce an absolute “poopload” of candy with every squeeze. After all, dinosaurs were massive creatures!

These candies make for fun gifts and lighthearted conversations and combine a childlike fascination with an adult-sized portion of candy. Unlike so many other novelty candies these days, they are in stock too.

Who could ask for more?
