Longtime Favorites of Candy Lovers

One of a few things that bring joy into lives regardless of the age of the consumer is the sweet sensation of candy. Every year new brands and types of candy enter the market but a very small number become successful. They not only face the competition against the other new brands but against traditional favorites that have been around for decades or generations. These long time favorites, often referred to as retro candy are favorites from your past that are still enjoyable today. Some of the better known retro candy hits are: Boston Baked Beans, Bit-O-Honey, Now and Later Candy and Wax Lips. These are some of the better known ones that should be considered to use if making up retro candy gift baskets.

Kids and parents who want to avoid the mess of candy that melts in the heat have some great new and classic options available that are sure to bring smiles to faces both young and old. Choices range from hard candy to chewy confections to gum.
