Rodda Easter Candy, ca. 1925, chocolate chicken.
Now that Halloween is over the true celebration begins … half-price candy!
The Libraries likes to celebrate a sweet tooth as much as the next guy, and what better day to do it than on today, National Candy Day:
To Celebrate National Candy Day … We checked for candy related catalogs in the Trade Literature Collection at the National Museum of American History Library and found the Ice Cream and Candy Makers’ Factory Guide.
It's Candy…and a Toy! Ever wonder how candy was made in the nineteenth century?
Delicious Desserts and Candies Dr. Price's … Flavoring ice cream, cakes, puddings, custards, sauces, gelatine dishes, candies, jellies, syrups and other food products.
The Food of the Gods The National Museum of American History Library does have many trade literature items that feature candy and candy making. Items include catalogs from the Confectioners’ Machinery & Mfg. Co. and the Cutler-Hammer Mfg. Co., which feature candy making and chocolate machinery.
Chocolate Rabbits and … Elephants! The Trade Literature Collection at the National Museum of American History Library includes a catalog from the company that first created a popular Easter candy called Marshmallow Peeps.
Don't forget to brush and floss after indulging!
