DESCRIPTION
Chicago had long been a candy haven, thanks in part to the World’s Fair of 1893, when numerous candies were sold or introduced. This delicious toffee was born in Chicago in 1924 – the first toffee to contain honey. The Heath Bar, the classic chocolate covered toffee candy bar, also first appeared on the market that year! Bit-O-Honeys became a penny candy store favorite and a delicious tradition that’s been passed down for generations.
Many remember – or heard about – the Depression, the two World Wars, and other hard times when sugar was in short supply. When sugar came back, sugar-rich candy was a sign of affluence, certainty and the knowledge that everything was alright. Bit-O-Honeys are just one of the many candies you might find in our Grandma’s Purse collection, inspired by the real candies you’d find in your grandmother’s purse!
