For this week s Throwback Thursday, we were wondering what your favorite, or least favorite, candy that Grandma used to keep around when you were a kid?
JStew: My Grandmother, that we all affectionately called Gummy, Not because she didn t have teeth, but tat s what the oldest grandkid started with. My grandfather was called Gumpy, for that matter. Anyway, Gummy used to have all that old lady candy, right beside her chair. I think my favorite of all her candies was Ganong Chicken Bones. Or Peach Blossoms. Totally a tie. One was filled with peanut butter, and the other with chocolate, and I don t remember which at all, haha. However, she also used to keep around chocolate covered candied ginger. As an adult, I think it s amazing. But when I was 6 or 7, that was the most vile stuff I had put in my mouth up to that point. Like, made me not trust her again for years, kind of gross. Thankfully, I ve gotten over that one a bit. Also, I maaaayyy have a bag of Werther s Originals in my cupb
