I love Cow Tales! Thank you for having them in stock. Have a wonderful day.
Look the gummy raspberries. The strong raspberry taste was excellent. The texture was more than my liking than most gummy products. I like it very much very happy.

Forget Pallet Cleanser with Jelly Mints
Forget Pallet Cleanser with these delicious Richardson's Jelly Mints Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 7 Convenience: 4 Novelty: 7 Overall: 9 “It tastes like what those valentines hearts should taste like, the perfect amount of chalkyness and sweetness and crumbles so perfectly with the slightest bite.” I couldn’t have said it better myself, my friend Conrad has a wonderful way with words. Each mint has a chewy flavored center with green ones tasting like peppermint candy canes, black ones with anise flavor, and other fruity minty blends. This is a simple yet extremely satisfying after dinner mint. It might not serve...
My stomach must be bigger than my eyes for the Big Tex Jumbo Jelly Bean
My stomach must be bigger than my eyes for the Big Tex Jumbo Jelly Bean Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 10 Convenience: 8 Novelty: 10 Overall: 8 Imagine a world where Jelly Beans were so big that you could not only not eat a handful at a time, but you could to take multiple satisfying bites of one jellybean. Well, as they say, if there is a will, there is a way, and the jellybeans must have eaten a bite of Alice’s cake because they have grown exponentially in size. Limey green, grapey purple, sweet vanilla white (not to be confused...
Spice Drops Are Even More Addicting Than Dots!
Spice Drops also known as Gum Drops are a long time favorite and one of the older candies still available. Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 9 Convenience: 4 Novelty: 6 Overall: 9 These minty little gumdrops covered in shards of sugar crystals do not hold the density of other spice drops I have eaten. These spice drops are one of those candies with that perfect soft, chewy consistency. The spice drop flavors are sweet and all carry a mild kick of spice depending on the color you choose. No fruity flavors in this batch, spice drops are names as they are...
Brach’s Classic Jelly Bird Eggs Make Every Day Feel Like Easter
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...
The Inconspicuous French Burnt Peanuts
The Inconspicuous French Burnt Peanuts Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 8 Convenience: 5 Novelty: 7 Overall: 7 Judging by the name of this candy combined with the aesthetics, I would say that the French have an odd peanut burning procedure. The peanuts in this candy seem to be more-so coated in a lumpy red sugary shell than burnt in any way, but the taste tells another story. I think that these peanuts have not only been disguised as some sort of geological unit from Mars, but the peanut inside definitely tastes burnt. The French must have found a way inside of...
Sno Caps of Milk Chocolate Non Pareils are "without equal"!
Sno Caps or mini milk chocolate nonpareils are mini mountains of chocolate guaranteed to please! Sharability: 9 Denture Danger: 2 Convenience: 3 Novelty: 5 Overall: 7 This dark chocolate dome shaped candy with little white beads of sugar coating the top is known by many as, the snowcap. The snowflakes of sugar and starch are what are called non pareils, in French meaning, “Without Equal.” The Non Pareils really make this simple disc of chocolate into a marketable product. Just like every kid pumps adrenaline for sprinkles on his/her ice cream, people love sugar sprinkle beads on their chocolate. For...
All we are saying is Give Brachs Lemon Drops a chance
We offer many varieties of Lemon Drops including the hard to find ones made by Brachs. Whatever you choose, you are sure to find the tart flavor refreshing! 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...
Candy Blox: Build and Eat, it Can’t Be Beat
Candy Blox are ideal for any budding architect or for anyone who enjoys playing with Lego's! Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 3 Convenience: 8 Novelty: 9 Overall: 7 I know that one of my favorite activities as a child was building with LEGOs. With a box of LEGOs the possibilities were endless. You could make any type of house or boat or spaceship and play with it and modify it in any way. Now you can not only stack your LEGO shaped blocks, but you can eat them too! The blocks come in different colors and thus different flavors and they...
Black Taffy Is the Black Jack Throwback
Black Taffy Is the Black Jack Throwback Sharability: 9 Denture Danger: 10 Convenience: 10 Novelty: 9 Overall: 9 Primrose Candy Company’s Black Taffy is not what you might expect. For starters, the candy itself has only an accent of black color. This is a salt water taffy type candy, but every pieces holds the unmistakable flavor of black licorice. The candy itself is aesthetically pleasing, a peach colored ring around a black center and dash of red coloring on the side. Some might see this black taffy and think, “Oh, Black Jack! I remember that classic candy!” The original Black...
These Tootsie Roll Vanilla Flavored Midgees Will Only Be Around For A Brief Moment of Existence
Vanilla Tootsie Rolls are a "Limited Edition" yet are one of the most sought after candies! Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 9 Convenience: 10 Novelty: 8 Overall: 8 In a world where communities strive to represent diversity, candy companies seem to do the same. These Tootsie Rolls are what one might call the Caucasian candy of the community. This limited edition candy receives a thumbs up and a cheesy smile from me, as it succeeds in being sweet and vanillay. As in most situations, where there is chocolate, there is also vanilla, and Tootsie Roll wouldn’t be the one to put...
I’m in Love With Mary Jane(s)
This is a paper cut out advertisement for Mary Janes and one of the oldest candy advertisements in our collection! Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 10 Convenience: 10 Novelty: 10 Overall: 9 I'm in love with Mary Jane. She's my main thing. She makes me feel alright. She makes my heart sing. This Mary Jane I am referring to could be Spiderman’s woman or a certain plant, but instead it is NECCO’s classic peanut buttery, molasses flavored, chewy rectangle. It all began with Charles H. Miller and his three sons. The Millers started a small candy manufacturing business in Boston in...
Squirrel Nut Zippers Caramels’ Uniqueness Compels
Squirell Nut Zippers occupy a unique place in candy history as they are one of the older candies still available Sharability: 9 Denture Danger: 8 Convenience: 10 Novelty: 9 Overall: 7 Squirrel Brands Salted Nut Company began in 1899. It changed hands and it changed locations, but the squirreliness never diminished. The company supplied chewy candies and salted and roasted peanuts to not only the general public of candy lovers, but also to the armed forces. In 2004 the Squirrel Nut Company took it’s last ownership change as it fell into the hands of NECCO. The Squirrel Nut Caramel Candy...
Spearmint Leaves and Anise Bears: Flavors Removed From Their Natural Habitat
Anise Bears and Spearmint Leaves are very popular chewy candies and this blog discusses the merits of each! Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 8 Convenience: 6 Novelty: 5 Overall: 7 These two sugar coated gummy candies each have their own distinct personality. The spearmint leaves are as green as the newest summertime grass and have the mojito flavor while the anise bears are brown and have the pungent licorice type flavor. These two flavors are representatives of plants that grow from the ground. Anise, Pimpinella anisum, is a flowering plant that is native to the Southwest Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean...
For the Love of Mother Nature, We Bring You: Chocolate Earth Balls
Chocolate Earth Balls are a celebration of chocolate and the planet! Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 5 Convenience: 9 Novelty: 9 Overall: 9 Although posted a bit late, in the spirit of Earth Day which falls in April, these earth chocolate balls are just perfect as they are for everyday snacking. But, you think to yourself, earth day has passed, thus so has my desire for these earth balls. And that is where you are wrong, my friend. I have recently realized that the celebration of the earth is not just one day, it is not just one week, or one...
Cows Dairy Butter Toffee and Assorted Flavors, Which One Do You Favor?
Sherwood Brands Jersey Butter Toffee Cows are a tasty treat! Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 10 Convenience: 10 Novelty: 4 Overall: 6 Sherwood Brand Toffee straight from the dairy of a cow, or at least the name implies so, has the original butter toffee flavor, and an assorted mix of vanilla flavored filled butter toffee, coffee flavored filled butter toffee and chocolate mint butter toffee. The assorted flavors are indeed in a particular order, ranging from worst to best. My father has told me to try my best to not bash candies in my blogs because even if I think the...
Gourmet Mints, But Really Just Mints
Richardsons Gourmet Dinner Mints are a perfect chocolate candy Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 4 Convenience: 9 Novelty: 6 Overall: 7 Gourmet is a term that is represented as a cultural ideal in terms of a food or drink. It is a word that is associated with other words such as sophisticated and elaborate. On that note, I think that calling any food or drink “gourmet” is a bold statement to make and I think there should be some sort of qualifications that must be assessed in order to label a food with this elegant word. These gourmet mints may pass...
Generically Speaking, Zachary Makes Soft Fruit Discs
If you are looking for a Fruit Jel that is colorful, soft and tasty, look no further.... Sharability: 9 Denture Danger: 9 Convenience: 10 Novelty: 5 Overall: 8 Don’t get this candy confused with Sunkist fruit gems, because though the two soft sugarcoated gelatin cylinders look almost identical these discs have a much better flavor-consistency combination making the eating of them almost more enjoyable than throwing them. These fruit discs can be considered a generic version of the Sunkist Fruit Gems, so lucky for you, a cheaper and better tasting gelatin cylinder athoguh these are not marked as being Kosher....
Ce De Smarties: Eat, Share or Smoke them, Big, Sour, or Small
Smarties: Eat, Share or Smoke them, Big, Sour, of Small Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 2 Convenience: 10 Novelty: 9 Overall: 10 At this day and age people will find a way to smoke anything and believe it or not but Smarties candies are among the smokables. I could say that this feat is simple and clean, but it is a bit more trouble than it is worth. The goal is to crush up the Smarties inside the wrapper and then open both ends of the wrapper. This is when you can inhale through one end and have Smartie dust come...
Sixlets: The Bold and the Beautiful
Although we tend to favor retro candy advertisements or wrappers, we couldn't resist this cute Sixlets candy logo from Sweetworks Sharability: 5 Denture Danger: 3 Convenience: 8 Novelty: 6 Overall: 8 Sixlets are, without a doubt, one of those childhood favorites. I used to love getting a tube and eating the little balls by putting the wrapper in my mouth and sliding the ball out with my teeth. These crunchy, colorful, candy coated, milk chocolate pieces are not only fun to eat but they offer something different than similar candies such as M&Ms. The different colored candy shells actually have...
Ju Ju Hearts Filled With Ju-Ju Love
Juju Hearts are a fun candy for Valentine's Day and may be infused with magical powers... Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 8 Convenience: 8 Novelty: 8 Overall: 7 Ju Ju Hearts are another great Valentine’s Day candy. Upon seeing the bag of red scrumptious squishy hearts I assumed they would be cinnamon flavored. Though these hearts would probably be better with the cinnamon spice tongue tingler, the cherry flavor that lies within the Ju Ju Heart is far from terrible. It has a similar flavor to the red jolly rancher, but it isn’t too sweet or medicinal tasting, which many cherry...
Choo Choo Charlie says Love my Good & Plenty!
Vintage Good and Plenty Advertisement Circa 1960's Sharability: 7 Denture Danger: 6 Convenience: 8 Novelty: 9 Overall: 9 The Quaker City Confectionary Company first produced the Good & Plenty candy in 1893 and believe it or not it is the oldest branded candy in the United States. Over the years the company has changed hands from Quaker City, to Warner-Lambert, to Leaf Candy Company, to Beatrice Foods, to the current manufacturer, Hershey. There was much controversy over the naming of this candy, but eventually the Quaker City Confectionary Company settled with Good & Plenty as the name instead of...
Warheads: For Extreme Candy Eaters Only
Warheads Super Sour Candy are for extreme candy lovers only! Sharability: 10 Extreme Danger: 9 Convenience: 10 Novelty: 7 Overall: 9 Warheads were definitely one of my favorite childhood candies and I’m sure I’m not the only one. When the little unsuspecting warhead first hits your tongue you think to yourself, “eh, this isn’t so bad.” Then as you rub you tongue against the thin sour layer of malic acid your face beings to turn to a similar expression Wally Warhead’s on the front package. Of all of the candies that are labeled “sour” warheads are the only candies I...
Wintergreen Lozenges May Not Sooth Your Throat, But They Do Sooth Your Soul
Necco Wintergreen Lozenges are refreshing and fun to eat Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 2 Convenience: 10 Novelty: 9 Overall: 8 Don’t be mislead by the name, these wintergreen lozenges won’t rid you of your sore throat or stop your cough, but they will tingle your taste buds. From the looks of it, this little plain calky pink cylinder doesn’t seem like it would possess the punch that it does. The wintergreen flavor comes on slow as its mild taste becomes a refreshing mintyness as you chew it up. When you swallow down those last pieces don’t hesitate to indulge again...
Baby Food or Chocolate Coated, Malted Milk Balls Are Delicious
Chocolate Malted Milk Balls are one of our favorite candies and we offer Brachs Malts as well as Whoppers to name but a few brands that we represent Sharability: 8 Denture Danger: 4 Convenience: 3 Novelty: 6 Overall: 8 Obviously, (almost) anything covered in chocolate is a taste treat. Even though the malted milk ends up stuck in your teeth it is worth the crunch that it adds to the soft melty milk chocolate. These little generic malt balls are tasty, but they don’t come close to the satisfaction you find when you bite into a real gourmet malt ball...
Phish and Starburst FaveREDs, like Fish and Chips
Starburst Fruit Chews Sharability: 9 Denture Danger: 8 Convenience: 9 Novelty: 6 Overall: 9 Starbursts, as the name implies, are truly bursting with flavor. During candy’s favorite holiday (Halloween) I was in Indio, California at Phish Festival 8. For those of you that don’t know, this was three days of camping out and three days of listening to the band Phish. During the Halloween night set I made sure to fill my pockets with candy because there’s never a time when candy tastes better than on Halloween AND during a Phish show. During the set break I was lying down...
Taste the Fresh and See the Glow With Wint-O-Green Lifesavers
Life Savers Wint-0-Green Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 9 (if you aren’t just using it as a breath mint) Convenience: 10 Novelty: 6 Overall: 9 Wint-O-Green Lifesavers are more than just a sweet wintergreen taste-bud-tingler, and they are more than just a breath mint, this candy is a science lesson. If you take these lifesavers into a pitch-black room (a bathroom usually works the best) you can watch science in action. I find it works best with a friend because then you can share the feeling of amazement, but it also works if you are by yourself and look in the...
Ferrara Pan’s Jaw Busters, the Original Jaw Breakers, Eat at Your Own Risk
A vintage box of Ferrara Pan Jawbreakers - the candy is now known as a Jawbuster! Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 10 (if you try and chew it) Convenience: 8 Novelty: 8 Overall: 4 It puzzles me to think how a candy marketed as “Jaw Breakers” is and has been so successful. It seems like it would have gone out of business with the cigarette company called “death” and Chevy Nova car in Latin America, which translates to “it doesn’t go.” I think the brand name almost comes off as a challenge to kids. The kids who have managed to have...
Go Bananas for Circus Marshmallow Peanuts
Marshmallow Peanuts are one of the oldest candies and few people know that the flavor is banana! Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 2 Convenience: 6 Novelty: 9 Overall: 5 Also known as a circus peanut, this orange peanut shaped marshmallow became one of the first penny candies after it was introduced in the mid 1800s. To be honest, I never understood why everyone liked these things so much. Yes they have a good texture, and yes they are a classic, but what I don’t understand is why the peanut shaped marshmallow taste like artificial banana. It just doesn’t make sense. If...
Portable, Peanut-Buttery Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Miniatures
Reese's Miniature Peanut Butter Cups Sharability: 7 Convenience: 7 Denture Danger: 4 Novelty: 5 Overall: 9 When we have a full sized Reese’s Cup I know a lot of us eat it by poking the middle out first and eating the peanut-buttery goodness first and the crunchy chocolate ring second. This miniature peanut butter cup combines those two pieces of deliciousness into one crunchy chocolatey uber peanut-buttery bite. The miniature Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups come in a cute little cupcake-like wrapping. Plop a dollop of whipped cream on top and you’ve got your own little cupcake. The miniature is taller...
Reese’s Pieces, For You, For Me, and For E.T.
Reese's Pieces were one of the first examples of modern product placement when they were featured in ET - The Extraterrestrial! Sharability: 5 Denture Danger: 4 Convenience: 5 Novelty: 8 I would take a Reese’s Pieces over an M&M any day, the way the peanut-flavored penuche filling melts in my mouth is just unbeatable and I’m not the only one who thinks so. The extra terrestrial, E.T. (from the movie that you all should have watched at least once by now) has a favorite candy, and that my friends is Reese’s pieces. The funny thing is that Mars actually declined...
Peanut Butter Logs can turn you into a candy hog!
Coconut Crunch Peanut Butter Logs from NECCO are an addictive treat! Sharability: 8 Denture Danger: 6 Convenience: 5 Novelty: 8 Overall: 9 Every little bit of the peanut butter log is delicious not matter how you eat it. The crunchy-peanut-buttery-baklava-looking inside is coated with a coconut sprinkled peanut butter. The coconut and peanut butter flavors balance each other out, but for those of you who don’t like coconut, realize that it is called a peanut butter log, not a coconut log. The peanut butter is definitely the base flavor and the coconut is merely the topping… not to undermine the...
Mix it Up and Chew it Up With Chiclets Chewing Gum
Chiclets Chewing Gum comes in many shapes and sizes Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 10 Convenience: 9 Novelty: 10 Overall: 10 When you are passing by a row of 25 cent machines you can almost always guarantee that Cadbury Adams’ Chiclets chewing gum will be among the candies that lie within them. When the decision of what candy to spend your sole quarter on proves difficult, don’t think twice before putting it in the little slot for the Chiclets. With Chiclets you get the flavor variety of any other candy with the long lasting duration of any gum. These classic, flavor...
One Pretzel, Two Pretzels, White Pretzels, Chocolate Pretzels
The sweet and salty combination of chocolate covered pretzels is one of the great taste combinations in candy history Sharability: 5 (too good to share too many) Denture Danger: 4 Convenience: 4 (a little melty) Novelty: 5 Overall: 10 We’ve already established the fact that everything tastes good covered in chocolate. What we haven’t established is what tastes best covered in chocolate. That, my friends, is a pretzel. I’m sure we’ve all experienced the simple combination of the salty pretzel with the sweet milk chocolate, whether we are dipping pretzels in melted chocolate or nutella or eating the already chocolate...
York Peppermint Patties and Pearson’s Foil Mint Patties
Vintage York Peppermint Patty Advertisement Circa 1950's Sharability: 6 Denture Danger: 4 Convenience: 6 Novelty: 7 Overall: 9 Though you may think that these two different companies produce the exact same peppermint patty you might be surprised to find out that the York and Pearson make two very different patties. Beginning with the first impression, York’s peppermint patties are thicker and denser than Pearson’s smaller, wimpier patty. The layer of dark chocolate coating on Pearson’s patty is darker and thinner to go along with the thinner layer of peppermint cream. When you bite into you the York patty you can...
Sunkist Fruit Gems: Fun to Eat, More Fun to Throw
Sunkist Fruit Gems, manufactured by Jelly Belly Candy Co., are a candy classic and Kosher too. Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 6 Convenience: 10 Novelty: 8 Overall: 6 When I see these little individually wrapped gelatin candy blobs I think of only one thing, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs. During my childhood I went to a lot of Bar and Bat Mitzvahs (a Jewish ceremony for 12 and 13 year olds to represent a coming of age). The part I most looked forward to would be towards the end of the ceremony when the little cousin or little sister (which was me at my...
Share Your Lemonheads Amongst Friendlyheads
Did you know that over 500 Million - no, this is not a typo - Lemonheads are produced yearly! Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 7 Convenience: 7 Novelty: 8 Overall: 9 Not to be confused with the 90’s rock band, lemonheads are a small ball of a hard candy coated in a soft sugary layer that adds the bang to the tang. The big lemon heads are good, I mean who doesn’t like one of their favorite candies in monster size, but they don’t have the same tang as the small original lemon heads that you get in the concessions box...
Jordan, Almond, I now Pronounce you Man and Wife
Jordan Almonds are a wedding staple and have a truly unique place in candy history Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 8 Convenience: 9 Novelty: 5 Overall: 9 Jordan Almonds are one candy that I would never turn down. The hard and sweet candy shell packs such a crunch that when you make it to the almond in the center you are greeted with a soft bite. The almond adds a neutral almondy taste to the candy, which makes for a great balance of flavor leaving you craving more. The almond sits inside the candy egg for so long that it actually...
Forget Teddy Bears when you can have Gummi Bears
Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 4 Convenience: 6 Novelty: 6 Overall: 7 Aahhh what candy could be better known than the gummi bear? These cute little bear shaped gelatin candies are irresistible, even if you don’t like the taste. The smooth slimy texture is addicting and each color has its own corresponding flavor. The gummi bear was originated in Germany under the name Gummibär (rubber bear) or Gummibärchen (little rubber bear). Hans Reigel was the founder of the Haribo company in 1922 when he also invented bear-shaped sweets. Haribo first introduced its Gold-Bear product in the 1960s, and it has been...
Airheads for the Rightheads
Airheads are a unique candy similar to taffy....but not exactly... Sharability: 7 Denture Danger: 6 Convenience: 8 Novelty: 7 Overall: 8 Airheads of the Perfetti Van Melle candy company are one of the few candies that really bring me nostalgia from my childhood. I remember my mom would buy packs of air heads and my brothers and I would argue over who would get the special white mystery flavor. Sometimes it would come down to a rock paper scissors match. The two remaining would then have the same argument over the blue raspberry flavor. Maybe it was just the color...
Enjoy Gummy Peach Rings in moderation...
Trolli Peach Rings are the best! Sharability: 9 Denture Danger: 8 Convenience: 7 Novelty: 6 Overall: 9 As soon as you open the bag, a burst of the peachy sweetness aroma floats up your nose preparing your senses for the eating of peach ring. Manufactured by Farley & Sathers, under the brand name Trolli, these ring shaped gummies are fun to put on your fingers to admire your beautiful orange and yellow jewelry before ripping them off with your teeth. If you suck on the peach ring instead of chewing it up the sandpapery sugar melts...
Brach's Not-So-Salty Salt Water Taffy
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. Though no one is sure where the name originated, the most popular story is of a man named David Bradley who had a store on the Atlantic City boardwalk in 1883. 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...

Not Just One, but Allsorts of Licorice
For those of you who like licorice, there’s a great brand called Licorice Allsorts. Not only does it boast the same great taste you licorice-lovers come to expect and crave, its unique appearance adds to the fun of eating. One bag contains licorice shaped in pink, orange, blue and white cubes and sprinkled spheres. My very first experience with licorice was a bad one. I tried a string of black licorice when I was in kindergarten and it seemed as if I would never be able to wash that strong taste out of my mouth. That day, my teacher had...
Go (Swedish) Fish!
Valentine’s Day penny cards were an important part of my childhood, as were Swedish Fish. In the multicolored packs, I used to pick out only the red ones and throw out the other colors. Even as I grew out of playing with Barbies and driving plastic wheels and grew into driving real cars and taking college classes, my love for the chewy red fish didn’t wallow or wane. In fact, when I’m studying for an exam, I need such snacks like Swedish Fish within arm’s reach to get through the night. There’s no better distraction than the little red scraps...
chocoalte-pretzels-are-a-Blast From My Past
Chocolate pretzels. How I have missed them! On my trip to the warehouse last week, they were one of the items I picked up. When I think about chocolate pretzels, I am immediately brought back to my years in middle school. Those awkward years where most of us had braces and hadn't yet grown into our bodies, were made better by chocolate pretzels. After a long day of school, I would always go straight to the vending machine for a bag of chocolate pretzels. It was my little reward for making it through the day. And of course the...
