Old Fashioned Candies!

Have there been special treats or foods that take you back to your childhood,
I have so many memories of going to stay at my Grandma's house on the farm
and then sometime during the course of my stay, we would definately go to the
drugstore, the one I remember the most was called WACKERS.

I would just wait for the moment for us to get ready and go into town, it was probably
about 10 to 15 minutes away from the dairy farm she had in the country.

But when we got there, I was always delighted, while she was shopping I remember having a
quarter to select some candy with. I would scour over the candy racks looking to see
how many pieces of what I could get with my money and make it stretch as far as
possible!

one of my Favorite treats was some Wonderful Flat huge piece of Taffy, it was in rainbow colors (pink, yellow, blue) and then it seems like there were white and pink ones but they had the best taste and

I would patiently walk beside her as she gathered her purchases and wait my turn in line as we went through the checkout and on the way back to the farm I could not wait to tear into that wrapper and taste the sweet snack
of that wonderful taffy. It was Heavenly and made that trip all worth while. I am sure I would add bubble gums and
chick o sticks was another that I would sometimes choose but YUM THAT TAFFY!

To my surprise I was looking at Amazon and they actually have the EXACT SAME TAFFY that I remember getting as a child, I have not seen this product in any of my local stores and was so delighted to see the Sweet familiar treat!

It is McCraws Old Fashioned Taffy and its so cool to see it is still around a nice blast from the past and cool to see a piece of my childhood. So if you have never tried this stuff check it out, it is a totally delightful treat and comes in bulk boxes. Old Fashioned Taffy!
