And oh wouldn't candy shop owner be a fun occupation to have!! No, Pralines are not like Heath bars (though I absolutely LOVE Heath bars!!!) I guess the closest comparison I can come up with as far as texture and consistency is a peanut patty if you've ever had one of those. Mary J – Hello to t a fellow black jelly bean fan!!

As for when licorice whips came about, I didn't find any reference to that specifically, but licorice candies have been around for quite some time.

Hi lady, thanks for stopping by! Don't know about my ancestors, but I believe my mom is the only other one in my immediate family (including my kids) who likes licorice. Shay!!!!

I'm a big mint fan too - love mint chocolate fudge. Never tried vanilla fudge before though - will have to look up a recipe. Larkin (love your name by the way!)

I had no idea that marshmallows had been around for that long. My fav chocolate bar is a Baby Ruth. Never knew what a Praline was. But the ingredients, to me, are like a Heath Bar! Is that a precurser to that? Or am I way out West on that? In the mountains or on a dusty trail we all have pockets full, of Lemon Drops. They cause water,(saliva), to form in your mouth! That's all I know about hard candy. And that it is always available at Christmas time. But my all-time favorite is: drum roll please, black licorice. Not the red stuff. BLACK. And I, too get the black jelly beans from every one. My daughter even got me a bag of only black ones. I can even leave it out, because nobody will ever touch it. Thanks for starting off the week with this delightful blog. YUM. I should own a candy store! I had no idea that marshmallows had been around for that long. My fav chocolate bar is a Baby Ruth.
