What is as beautiful in the food kingdom as holiday candy? This collection has plenty of favorites that graced grandmothers’ candy bowls, many from the 1930s and ’40s. Their origin, though goes back to the 18th century when Germans brought barley candy to North America. The sugar may or may not have been from barley. Always beautiful, always with love and cheer. Comes in a clear, recyclable 4 oz bag with a label telling the story.
