What does marshmallow root tea taste like?
A sweet, woody flavor, the marshmallow root tea makes an interesting blend and is great on its own. I like to add a little sweetener, but that’s personal choice. The texture is smooth, as marshmallow has a high mucilage content, and thickens when cool.
LICORICE LOVERS! A fabulous blend of black licorice favorites, perfect finger food and a satisfying treat. As for the story: For thousands of years, people covered fruit, nuts and seeds with sugary coatings, dating back to the ancient Romans. In the late 1800s, when machinery enabled candy-makers to quickly and inexpensively coat just about anything with sugar and chocolate, coated nuts, caramels, marshmallows, licorice and other tasty treats came along. Starting in the 1920s, bridge became the game to play, where players sat around tables for entire evenings. Snacks needed to be small enough to eat with their fingers without putting down their cards. From this tradition, bridge mix emerged as a favorite. As for licorice -the licorice plant came to the U.S. in the 1600s with the British. Its root was perfect as a tooth brush, spice, and, in the 1800s, a candy. Comes in a 6-ounce recyclable bag with a twist tie and the story on the label.
Caramel was invented in the 1850s, a true American original based on the process of caramelizing sugar. Delicious All-American Caramel was born! Soon, people added caramel to everything from chocolates to caramel covered marshmallows – AKA the caramel biscuit or “modjeska.”
In the early 1900s, caramel found its way into a new treat called the candy bar. The Sugar Daddy, Sugar Babies, caramel creams and more – America was hooked on caramel! Today, caramel is still one of the nation’s favorite candies. 4 oz (5 caramels) in a heat-sealed bag with the history on the label.
Turkish Taffy was actually made in the 1920s by accident when a candy maker added too many egg whites to what he hoped would be marshmallows. After years of experimentation he created the Turkish Taffy which was neither “Turkish” nor, technically, taffy. Eventually, an immigrant family named Bonomo… who actually were from Turkey, bought the company. They lived in Coney Island which, at the time, was all about beauty queens, weight-lifted, and generally boardwalk campiness. The Turkish Taffy fit right in.
How to eat: Freeze the “taffy” then break it into melt-in-your-mouth bits or just eat it as is. Comes in vanilla, wild banana, chocolate, and strawberry.

Originally called the Baltimore Chewing Gum Company in 1895, the Goetze candy company started making Caramel Creams in the 1920s – originally called “Chu-ees” – without the creamy center. A year later, they added a cream and confectionery history was made. The company is still family-owned. Same smooth and delicious caramel with its creamy center as when Goetze first made this classic penny candy! 4 oz with the history on the label.
