Boasting 97 years of experience, our fervor for candy is unmistakable. Yet, it's the storied past of each confection we've offered through the ages that truly sparks our zeal!

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 candy website.

We want our site to be a historical tribute to the products that put us on the map and that is why we emphasize the history being the candies we love...and some that we don't.

Collaborating with our blogger, Hannah Brelsford, we envisioned a visual history of candy as an engaging and educational piece that could be informative and enjoyable, ideally suited for sharing in educational contexts.

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
