Within 96 years in our rearview mirror, at CandyFavorites.com, we believe that “the future of candy is rooted in the past,”
With this belief, we like to make old-school candy accessible to our customers. Nowadays, it can be hard to find your old favorite candies; that is a problem we are trying to solve!
Nips, a classic old-school candy, are back in stock, and we couldn’t be happier to bring them back to our customers. We suspect dentists are thrilled too.
We are currently offering Butter Rum, Caramel, and Coffee flavors. This classic candy has been around since the 60s, 1961 to be exact, and was invented by Barney Pearson.
Pearson started a company with candies that he made all by hand; as with many family businesses, Barney’s sons, Ed, and Daniel Pearson, also worked at the Pearson Candy Company and decided to add new candies to the company’s lineup, one of those new candies being Nips Hard Candy.
With the help of food chemist Claude Barnett, Daniel Pearson worked on the creation of Nips. They were invented based on the idea of the break that treats can provide you in the middle of the work day, similar to Kit Kat’s slogan “Have a Break. Have a Kit Kat.”
During the middle of the day, people often take a coffee break, but some people only sometimes have time to sit down and drink a cup of Coffee.
Nips, specifically the coffee-flavored ones, provide a little break to people’s days even when they can’t find time, and it is no irony that Coffee was the first flavor and remains our most requested!
The Pearson Candy Company initially didn’t do any tests on the candies, so they were all made in small batches. Finally, however, they were popular enough to justify their production costs.
Nips have gone over many transfers in ownership. For example, in 1968, the Pearson Candy Company was sold to the W.R. Grace Company, then to Nabisco in 1982. Nestle then bought Nips in 1989. Don’t worry, we know this is a lot to absorb, and there won’t be a quiz.
The brand is now owned by the Ferrara Candy Company, which owns Brach’s, the company that now produces Nips.
Being the oldest Brach’s candy distributor in the nation, we have always had a soft spot for this brand, and we’re thrilled to Brachs adding –as opposed to subtracting – something to their lineup!
Just like us, The Ferrara Candy Company values classic candies, so they are well known for producing candies that no longer exist, and we are committed to making these accessible to candy lovers, young and old.
Nips Hard Candy is a classic that has been providing customers with a sweet little break in their days since the 60s.
So if you need a delicious break or want to try a classic candy, Nips are for you.
With the most profound pleasure, I announce that today, November 15, 2022, is the 94th birthday of the beloved Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup!
Ninety-four years ago, on this very day, Harry Burnett Reese invented this peanut butter and chocolate delight in his basement.
Reese was a former employee of The Hershey Company and left to start his own business, which eventually bought his candy in 1963 and sells it today. Although Mr.Reesesold the company back to Hershey, it’s safe to say that his candy was a success because today, it makes up 2 BILLION DOLLARS in sales yearly.
At first, the peanut butter cups were called “Penny Cups” because the peanut butter cups were sold for only a penny. Now a pack of peanut butter cups sells for about $2.50, thanks to nine decades and inflation.
These cups aren’t sold today in their original shape. Instead, during the holidays, they come in holiday shapes, like an egg for spring or a Christmas tree for Christmas. It usually comes in anything from a mini cup to an oversized one – think of the new Big Cups and Ultimate Peanut Butter Lovers -and all are delicious.
As one of Reese’s biggest fans, I am excited to celebrate their birthday!
Reese’s is how I got my start with Candy Favorites. I wrote my first blog post, titled “The Golden Secret of Reese’s that Keeps You Coming Back,” on its perfect balance of peanut butter and chocolate.
Then, I wrote an article this past summer called “The Face-Off of the Century: Which Reese’s Product Will Come Out on Top?” about trying different Reese’s products to find my favorite. I even wrote an article about Reese’s University that discusses everything from admissions to athletics for the (imaginary) university.
I love Reese’s and almost everything about them. I love unwrapping the chocolate and plopping it in my mouth. Each time I have one, it feels like I am trying them for the first time. They are just as delicious, creamy, and rich as the first time I had one. They remind me of my family, tasty treats, and fun times.
But Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are about so much more than chocolate and peanut butter.
This celebration honors a beloved candy combination that has brought joy to friends and families for over nine decades and has become one of Planet Earth’s most popular candy bars!
So HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Reese’s, and THANK YOU, Harry, for leaving an extra sweet imprint on our lives!
If you want to enjoy a Reese’s treat in honor of their 94th birthday, place an order on CandyFavorites.com and enter the coupon code “CFREESESBDAY” for 10% off Reese’s products through November 16, 2022.
It is hard to believe that 2022 has two months left. It seems like yesterday that we were enjoying summer and, blink, now it is November!
Halloween was the closest it has been to “normal” in the past few years, and supply chain issues seem to be resolving, albeit slowly.
We have a vast selection of Christmas Candy, including an ample supply of Candy Canes in high demand due to a nationwide shortage of Peppermint Oil.
This list features nonseasonal items, and we will be adding to it weekly.
As always, if you need custom packaging or are looking for large quantities, please reach out to us at support@candyfavorites.com
11074 – Atkinson Sugar-Free Chiko-O-Sticks – 3 lb.
We are unsure if we love this product because of its 1950s retro vibe and whimsical name or because these new sugar-free versions, flavored with Splenda, taste delicious. Still, we know this product is a winner and one of the best-tasting sugarless options available.
11073 – Atkinson Sugar-Free Peanut Butter Bars – 3 lb.
The bottom line is that if a product tastes as good today as it did when it was invented in 1947 and if that product just happens to be as delicious in a sugar-free version then it is a “winner.” This distinction surely applies to our new Atkinson Sugar-Free Peanut Bars.
45151 – CandyFavorites Americana Penny Candy Bags – 6 ct.
Perhaps the best-selling item we offer is our American Penny Candy Mix. It was initially made for a famous retail clothing chain looking for a premium candy mix in silver bowls to compliment their checkout counters.
Based on the success of this product in bulk, we thought it was only fitting to be the first of our new “Select” Bag candy offerings.
40164 – Blue Rock Candy Swizzle Stick Jars – 36 ct.
Swizzle Sticks are perfect for many uses as they are as colorful as they are practical and can be enjoyed in any season.

Featuring three super sour flavors – Cherry, Blue Razz, and Green Apple – and cool graphics, this new addition to the Slime Licker Family might spark the next Tik Tok craze!
Happy National M&M’s Day!
Yes, you read the title correctly! October 13th is National M&M’s Day, a sure day to celebrate!
Being an M&M’s lover, I knew I had to celebrate as soon as I discovered that there was a specific day set aside to celebrate one of the most famous candies ever created!
In anticipation, I took a trip to the M&M’s store in New York City. I won’t lie, I was already going to New York City, and this seemed like a perfect excuse to go to my favorite store in Times Square.
As soon as my friends and I turned the corner into Times Square, I saw a giant M&M’s lighting up the sky, tempting all NYC visitors to stop inside for a bite of pure joy.
Outside of the store, they have a giant electronic billboard with animations of their M&M’s characters, 5 giant M&M’s with all their different colors on the corner of the building, and a billboard featuring an M&M’s climbing up the side of the Empire State Building, mimicking to the image of King Kong climbing up the side of it.
You can also see through the multiple floors, making it seem less of a brand’s store and more of a dream candy land.
Everything from the candy wall, the characters’ stories, and all the excellent merchandise. M&M’s first started featuring characters in their advertisements in 1954, just 13 years after their creation.
Until recently, there were 6 characters in the lineup: Yellow, Red, Orange, Brown, Blue, and Green, each color having its own personality.
A few days ago, drum roll, please; they added a new character, Purple.
It will be interesting to see how they will integrate this new addition to the M&M’s candy family into their iconic Superbowl commercials and brand personality. After all, family dynamics can be tricky even in the sweet candy world!
When you walk into the store, each character has their own small devoted section to their own merch; there is even a mug wall in the store where each character has their own mug. So it’s safe to say these characters are a massive part of M&M’s success over the years.
There are 3 sections to the massive M&M’s wall. The difference in the M&M’s range in the flavors themself, the texture, and the colors.
M&M’s come in just about every color in the rainbow and then some! . They have every taste, from Almond to Brownie Batter (my personal favorite) to Cookies and Scream (a seasonal flavor).
I grabbed a bag off the wall and started filling it till my heart was content. I got Brownie Batter, Lavender-colored M&M’s, Crunchy Cookies, and many other flavors.
After getting a pound of M&M’s and being delighted by one of the most highly colorful stores in the world, I decided (sadly) that it was time to leave.
Throughout my day in New York City, I munched on various M&M’s with my friends, a snack that we all enjoyed and kept us going when we felt tired from walking the whole day.
You may not be able to easily visit the M&M’s Store in New York, but worry not; we offer a massive selection of these beloved chocolate-covered candies at CandyFavorites.com!
To celebrate this holiday of this delicious candy, we are offering 10% off all M&M’s products from October 12th-14th!
As the Oldest Wholesale Candy Company in the nation – we celebrated our 95th Birthday this summer – we may have made our name selling nostalgic and retro candy, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have a soft spot for new treats!
Supply Chain issues persist, especially for novelty candies, but the good news is that our inventory is slowly returning to pre-pandemic levels!
We are also proud to announce our new Candy Concierge Program, designed to improve order fill rates and offer you a level of customer service seldom found.
