What Our Customers Are Saying

If I could give this place 1,000 stars I would. The candy is absolutely beautiful from the candy itself to the packaging.

Millie L.

We received a gift box of candy from the 50s, 60s and 70s as a Christmas gift. It is an amazing, delicious walk through our childhood.

Denise F.

Clearly, the best marshmallow caramel candies I have ever experienced.

Barry W.

A-mazing! The Turkish Delight & potato candy were the best I’ve had. So much fun to see historic treats & learn about of history.

Mindy V.

Loved it! They have treats from every period of history, and they all come with information about how it was used in that period. They have ALL the candy you loved when you were a kid!

Diana M.

While my husband and I like the historical candy (who knew candied violets taste so good?) the kids love the more contemporary pop rocks, chocolate bars, and lollipops.
