    As a child, some of my fondest memories of Christmas, my Mother always had ribbon candy. I'm 75 now..
    Thank you for sharing your gift.
    You have truly made my day watching you.

    Sure do hope this way of candy making continues forever. Stretching like they do taffy.

    • @GogiRegion
      @GogiRegion 7 месяцев назад +5

      It should. It adds small air bubbles into the candy, which gives it a softer texture. If that method goes out of style, candy is going to become much harder.

    I was adopted by Boomers, so my mom knew which stores still sold this stuff. She would get me the whole box for myself and say it was too sweet for her. I had a very hard childhood, but ribbon candy is one of the sweetest memories. 💜

    Growing up, my mother would always buy her favorite candies. One of her favorites was Logan's ribbon candies. I don't recall any special flavors. I think they were all vanilla but it could've been something different like peppermint, clove or spearmint. Those were favorite flavors of hers guaranteed to keep my sister and me away from her stash (but not from her stash of ribbon candy!)...
