Relive Your Childhood with Nostalgic Candy

This spring we have seen an exciting release of new candy flavors from some of our favorite brands. M&M’s unveiled three new and exotic peanut flavors including Mexican Jalapeno and Thai Coconut. Reese’s came out with the thin version as well as two options that allow peanut butter lovers or chocolate lovers to have more of their favorite as the dominant flavor of each Reese’s cup. Peeps even got in on the action with new flavors like cotton candy as well as pancakes and syrup.

Our mouth is watering just reliving all the excitement; however, our main purpose here is not only to applaud the innovation but also to remember that there is no replacement for the classics.

Nostalgic candy such as Candy Buttons or Big Hunk will always have a special place in our heart, as will Cow Tails and Hot Tamales. We know that any flavor that made an impression during the formative years of childhood continues to stand out to those who enjoyed them. For this reason, we happily continue to carry as much nostalgic candy as we can to keep the flavors and the memories alive.

Vegan Candy Bars That Actually Taste Good

Adopting a completely vegan diet means avoiding more than just steak and chicken. All animal products including eggs and milk are off limits as well. Staying true to this change means reading the ingredient labels very closely, even on food items you might not expect – did you know most marshmallows are not vegan or vegetarian? That said, going vegan does not mean you should feel limited on the foods you enjoy.

Thankfully, the options for vegans these days are much richer than even a few years ago. We are happy to carry several completely vegan candy bars to satisfy your sweet tooth while staying true to your dietary needs.

Cleo’s Peanut Butter Cups are not only vegan but they are also gluten free and void of trans fats as well as other artificial additives. Enjoy creamy peanut butter and rich chocolate made with rice-milk that is oh so satisfying!

Go for the Parade, Stay for the Candy

Parades can take place year round for a number of reasons, but there is something about a parade in the warm months that just stands out. Whether it is sports related, school related, or due to a holiday like the 4th of July, a parade is a spectacular showcase of talent that brings people together.

What are Sixlets?

If you are a lover of classic candy, or just candy in general, then you have to become acquainted with Sixlets. This candy appeared on the market in the 1960s. While there are many theories, there is not a clear answer regarding the origin of the name. That said, these sweets are simple yet satisfying.

Original Sixlets Chocolate Candies in Small Packages | BlairCandy.com

So what exactly are Sixlets? Original Sixlets candies consist of a colorful sugar coating that surrounds a milk chocolate filling. The colors include red, brown, orange, green, and yellow. You will know it is a true Sixlet because of the classic spherical shape and the Sixlets mascot! This glasses- wearing caterpillar is a friendly reminder that Sixlets are fun and amazing!

In addition to individually wrapped packages, we also have Sixlets in bulk in assorted and solid colors. Use Sixlets as wedding favors by choosing your wedding colors and placing them in individual sachets. Your guests will thank you for the sweet snack!

They are also an excellent addition to a candy buffet. Kick it up a notch with clear glass jars filled to the brim with brightly colored Sixlets. Adding Sixlets along with gummy bears and red hots sounds like a good time to us.

The final step in truly knowing what Sixlets are is by experiencing them firsthand. Check out all the retro candy options at BlairCandy.com!

Hopefully your movie night won’t result in any emergencies other than maybe running out or JuJyfruits. One way this can be avoided is buying extra!

Another movie theater candy classic that is arguably more on the healthy side comes in the form of Raisinets. Chewy and chocolatey, Raisinets are also rich in fruit antioxidants and are 30% less fat than other leading chocolate brands.

How to Build the Perfect Sundae with Ice Cream Toppings

A bowl of ice cream is a blank canvas awaiting your personal artistic expression. The good news is that there is really no wrong way to achieve the perfect sundae because it is all about personal preference.

Waffle Cones and Ice Cream Sundaes with Ice Cream Toppings | Blaircandy.com

Start with the container. A simple bowl will always work, but you can always go with a mug, a waffle bowl, or an upside down bowler hat. We don’t actually recommend the last option but we also acknowledge that desperate times call for desperate measures.

Choose your ice cream. Not all sundaes have to start with vanilla ice cream. We are lucky to live in a world with countless ice cream flavors that can be nestled side by side to form the base of a scrumptious ice cream sundae. Choose what makes you happy.

Drizzle the sauce. Hot fudge is an excellent go-to. You can’t go wrong with caramel or peanut butter sauce either. If combining sauces calls to you on this particular occasion, then so be it. When applying the sauce, the Jackson Pollock method works wonders although it can get a little messy if your aim is off. Remember it is all in the wrist. Your final option is no sauce at all, which is a choice we respect but do not understand it.

Sprinkle the ice cream toppings. This might just be a simple addition of rainbow or chocolate sprinkles or it could get a little wild. In addition to favorites like M&M’s and chocolate chips, we have all of your favorite candy bars such as Reese’s, Snickers, and Twix already chopped up and ready to go.  Some of our other ice cream toppings include cookie dough, cheesecake pieces, and coconut flakes.

The final touch. We recommend a generous swirl of real whipped cream on top followed by a classic cherry or three.

The possibilities are endless and every ice cream sundae creation can be unique. Visit BlairCandy.com to find all your favorite ice cream toppings today!
