Is there a Jelly Bean Shortage in 2023? January 23, 2023

It would be hard to imagine Easter without Jelly Beans....but it is possible! Each candy has a time in the year when it's "in season," almost like fruit. Instead of growing conditions, we have taste bud conditions. While every candy can be eaten in any season and still be delicious, there are certain times of the year when the candy tastes even better. For example, it might feel odd to eat a candy cane in the summer unless you are celebrating Christmas in July, and while eating jelly beans in any other season than spring wouldn't feel wrong, it just...

New Candy & Snacks - November 2022 November 1, 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...

Three New Fruit Flavored Efrutti Gummi Candies! September 14, 2022

Efrutti offers three new fruit-flavored gummi candies! As a kid, I went to my brother's baseball games. I remember more of the concession stand than I do of the actual games themself. I would buy sunflower seeds and, of course, Efrutti Gummi "meals ."They are a core memory from my childhood, just looking at a pack of them in a candy store sends me back. All of them were sweet and about 25 times smaller than the actual foods. It's been years since these delicious little gummi treats entered my mouth, but now I've...

Few will deny that Haribo is the Gold Standard by which all Gummi Candies are measured, so to those of you that agree, we offer our sympathy.

The following Haribo products will not be available in bulk format until 2023. Haribo Bulk Gold Gummi Bears 3 lb. Haribo Bulk...

CandyFavorites Bag Candy Offerings - 2022 January 27, 2022

While some old favorites such as Bulls Eyes, Cow Tails, Red Licorice Laces, Sour Patch Kids, and Watermelons have been "temporarily discontinued" by the manufacturer, we have added new candies at a record pace. In addition, in January, we switched away from a two-tier pricing system and increased the weights of many of our bags although we maintained the Blue & Red labels as they offer a nostalgic feel to any display. This new price point offers a better opportunity for retailers and a better value for consumers. We will soon be adding a Select Label featuring high-end chocolates and...

Some GOOD NEWS about our Bag Candy Selection.... January 6, 2022

New Bag Candies are coming soon! THE NOT-SO-GOOD NEWS... The past year has seen many of our best-selling bag candy items disappear.

The warm weather has officially arrived and we are ready to get outside and enjoy all the sun has to offer. For those of you on the East coast, it was a long, cold winter. After being stuck inside most of the winter months, there seems to be some hope that we can go outside, sit back in the yard and hey, maybe even enjoy some Martin’s Potato Chips.

Teaberry, the Original "Easy Chewing" Gum is making its debut! February 10, 2021

A Teaberry Gum Ad from the 1950s Usually, when people reminisce on the D.L. Clark Company (created back in the late 1800s), they associate the Clark Bar's name and good ol’ Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (our home field ). But there is another star that has to share the spotlight with the sought after candy bar, Teaberry Gum. Think of a refreshing mint gum that isn’t too harsh on the taste buds, and that is what you get with Clark’s Teaberry Gum, or, at least, that is what you got before it disappeared from well-stocked retro candy counters a few years ago....
