About the Goose that laid the Golden (Brach’s Marshmallow Easter Hunt) Egg
It may not be laid by a mythical Golden Goose, but Brach’s Marshmallow Easter Hunt Eggs are pretty much the proverbial “golden egg” when it comes to Easter candy even if they only come in soft pastel shades. They are also among the hardest to find. So, why are these eggs so special? Brach's Marshmallow Hunt Eggs have longer been a must in any well stocked basket. For over 50 years, our wholesale division has been selling these colorful oversized sugar laden eggs, and they have changed little over the years. The size has gotten smaller – name us a...
Farewell to Brach's Neapolitan Sundaes
Brach's Neapolitan Coconut Sundaes are classic candies that imitate a Neapolitan ice cream sundae. They were among the original candies offered by Brach's, and have always been made from real coconut. We're sad to report that Brach's Neapolitan Coconut Sundaes will be discontinued in June of 2012. We've got them in stock (and on sale!) so if these are your kryptonite, it's time to place your order, warm up your time machine, and send some to your future self. Outsmart Those Neapolitan Nabbers Sure, some people just like coconut. But others among us have more important reasons for loving Brach's...

A History of Cherry Cordials for Valentine's Day
When we think of cherry cordials now, we think of chocolate-covered cherries filled with a sweet syrup. However, the cordial reaches a bit farther back than the tasty treats we associate with the holiday season. The word “cordial” contains the word “cor,” which means “heart” in Latin. As a noun, cordial can mean medicine or medicinal food or drink and the cordial was originally used as a type of medical tonic. Cordials were believed to stimulate the heart and therefore improve circulation. The medicinal use of the cordial continued until the 1400’s when it arrived in England. They were “taken”...
Brach's Christmas Nougats
They say that variety is the spice of life. Well, Brach's is delivering a variety of spices with its new lineup of holiday nougats. Okay...so they're mostly mints. But you get the idea. You might remember Christmas Nougats from going "treeing" at other people's houses. They have these tiny little trees in the middle, and you can't help but try and bite around the candy just so, in an effort to free the tree from a forest of nougat. And then, when you fail, you can't help but try again. Over the years, I wiled away many hours this way,...

Brach's Peacock Eggs and Jelly Bird Eggs have long been Easter Classics and are considered by many to be the best jelly beans available. Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 9 Convenience: 5 Novelty: 7 Overall: 7 The Jelly Bird lays the eggs, the humans collect the eggs by the millions and put them in colorful bags to sell to more humans to enjoy. The Brach’s depiction of the Jelly Bird is seen on the front of the bag of eggs and it isn’t what I would expect a Jelly Bird to look like. The elusive egg layer looks more like a...

Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 8 (unless you can resist the chew) Convenience: 3 Novelty: 5 Overall: 7.5 I have had a strange experience with this Brach's Lemon Drop. When I first began tasting the sandpaper texture across my tongue I couldn’t wait to begin a rant about bashing that you will see in a later blog on a candy that deserves it. As I patiently gave the candy another chance, my opinion...

It is made similarly to toffee, but the...

Orange orange, pulls the creamsicle into the caramel. Sweet maple makes the sweet even sweeter. Soothing white vanilla spins...

Brach’s Chocolate Covered Raisins and Almonds, and Double Dipped Peanuts, Oh My
Brach's Chocolate Covered Candies are the benchmark by which great candies are measured! Sharability: 7 Denture Danger: 5 Convenience: 6 Novelty: 4 Overall: 9 Brach’s doesn’t dip their peanuts in chocolate once; they make sure you get the perfect ratio, the perfect chocolate smothered peanut. This little blob of chocolate sits flat on the table and does quite the job at hiding what might lie inside. It could be a raisin or a macadamia nut, or a pebble, but Brach’s chooses best and puts the peanut in its place. hence why it is hailed as the best Chocolate Covered Peanut!...
Brachs Special Treasures Butter Toffee and Chocolate Butter Toffee Aren’t as Similar as You Might Think
Brach’s Butter Toffee and Chocolate Butter Toffee Aren’t as Similar as You Might Think Sharability: 8 Denture Danger: 8 Convenience: 10 Novelty: 6 Overall: 7 Upon seeing these two candies all wrapped up in their metallic gold wrappers I assumed them to be virtually the same, one being chocolate and the other being the plain butter toffee. But you know what they say about assumptions… and I should have known. Though similar in name these candies have a longer list of differences than they do similarities. The pure Brach's Golden Treasures Butter Toffee candies are manufactured in a perfect, consistent...
Brach’s Neapolitan Coconut Sundaes , a Valiant Effort
We are sad to report that these delicious candies were permanently DISCONTINUED as of June 2012 Sharability: 8 Denture Danger: 7 Convenience: 9 Novelty: 5 Overall: 7 This one is for those who are coco for coconut. This sticky brick of candy incorporates the three colors and an attempt at the three classic sundae flavors, chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. Striped brown, white, and pink this Sundae, though clever with the name, is not more than a colorful coconut block. I’m not complaining about it by any means, but I don’t want you to be misled into thinking that this was...
Add a Little Color to Easter With Brach’s Pastel Fiesta Malted Milk Eggs

Go Nuts For Brach’s Jelly Nougats
Brach's Jelly Nougats were discontinued in 2011 Sharability: 6 Denture Danger: 8 Convenience: 8 Novelty: 4 Overall: 7 Jelly Nougats. They don’t have the most appealing name, but this white nougat with multicolored jelly pieces within it might surprise you in what’s most important, it’s taste. Each color of jelly candy adds a unique flavor and texture to the sweet base nougat flavor. I don’t understand how this chewy gummy candy can be called the same thing as the fluffy chocolate inside of a Milky Way, but I guess a nougat can be made more than one way. And indeed...

Salt Water Taffy is a summer favorite! Sharability: 5 Denture Danger: 10 Convenience: 8 Novelty: 9 Overall: 10 Do not be disgusted by the name of this candy because salt water is only in the name and not in the list of ingredients.

One day a tidal wave rushed over his store soaking everything he had with salt water. The next day a girl walked into his store asking...
