Today art candy is a sweet, classic confection that’s enjoyed for its beautiful festive design as much as for its flavor...and a favorite Christmas candy! Who knew? Art candy originated at beach-side resorts in the late 1800s in England. There, hotels would put their image and name on the candy and sell bags as souvenirs. In the U.S., art candy was tasty and decorative with images of fruits and flowers, and found a special home in grandmothers’ candy bowls from the 1920s to the late 1960s. Six ounces in a recyclable bag, with a reusable twist tie for freshness.
