Illustrated History of Candy
After 96 years, it is a given that we are passionate about candy. Still, we are equally passionate about the history behind the items we sell and have been selling for many decades!
When we set out to create the internet's largest online candy store - we were the FIRST online candy store - part of our mission was to pay tribute to the candy industry in the hopes of being something more than just another commercial website.
Working alongside our blogger Hannah Brelsford, we thought a visual history of candy would be informative, fun, and, hopefully, something that can be shared in an educational setting.
We hope you enjoy our Illustrated History of Candy, and if educators or students would like to use our infographics, please reach out to us at support@candyfavorites.com
