Traditional Holiday Candy(s)

i live in canada and i think that you can still get the candy you speak of at our local bulk barn (which is a bulk food store) how about looking online? just a thought

When I was a kid we always had ribbon candy. It has been decades since I have had any. Thanks for the memories.

Oh wow I havent had ribbon candy in so long. Im pretty sure Ive seen where Im at. I would have to say I prefer the Christmas flavor of peppermint. I hope you find your candy!

I have eaten them before. I don't go out searching for it though cause it isn't my favorite. Hope you find some colored ones soon.

OMG!! Thanks for bringing back a delicious memory from my childhood! I haven't had Ribbon Candy since I was maybe 9 or 10 but I loved it. I also loved all the different colors and flavors. Please let me know if you find any of the multi-colored. I'm far away from you in Pennsylvania but if you find it in a chain store maybe there's hope for me to find some too. Yum, yum, YUMMY! Annie

I love ribbon candy...any color.....any flavor. It's so festive too to have in the candy dish although this year I can't put it out....baby granddaughter eats as much as she can.

We always had an assortment of hard candy, and I do not remember the ribbon candy ever being red and white and peppermint. I will tell you what I found to be gross, though. That was the hard candy that was filled with some kind of jelly, or preserves, but it was not anything I recognized. I liked the candy that was tubular shaped and had a picture in the middle of it, like a Christmas tree, or whatever. I was fascinated with trying to figure out how the candy makers got those pictures inside that candy. I do not remember what it was called, either. I remember red, white, and green candy that was wintergreen flavored, mainly because my mom hated it. I remember little pillow shaped hard candies of all colors, they certainly were pretty. I liked the Butterscotch ones that were filled with a peanut butter filling. Thanks for the memories.

I haven't seen candy like that at all.It's rather attractive. My kids love the christmas candy. They give it away to their friends at school just before the holidays. And I have to put candy in their stockings. But no, this design is a new one to me. I commented on your photo. I forgot to mention that I commented on the photo of your Dad too.

I love the taste of the colored ribbon candy. I always make cinnamon hard rock candy for the holidays. It is a big favorite for my family. Check the bulk bin in Walmart for your ribbon candies. Just a thought...

How cute! I mean you...LOL! Christmas does bring out the child in us and do so enjoy it and I bet you do too! I love candies and I want various colored ones though i rarely get ribbon candies..i want to see a lot of green & red since it make me feel like and see Christmas and like you I would also want a lot of them. NOW!

Hi Grandpa Bob, Wow, you've really made me hungry here, and we're all out of snacks at the moment. Woe is me! I've rated and commented on your photos. I remember ribbon candy, as my mom used to buy it, all of those years ago. I know we can still get it here. I'm sure you mean the kind that comes in cinnamon, fruit flavour, etc. etc., and of course resembles ribbon.:) For me it's Ferrero Rocher, as I love those things. I 'have' to have them in my stocking, and not just one of those puny three packs. It's got to be the larger box. I only get these at Christmas. My daughter's favourites are chocolate covered peppermint patties. Oh, I just thought of these. Do you remember coconut covered chocolate snowballs? My mom used to always get those. I haven't had them in years. What about old-fashioned creams and jellies. I think you can still get these. Now you've gone and done it, Grandpa Bob, as I'm so hungry for some of these things ... I'll never be able to wait until Christmas now. HAHA!

-giggling- Your just too funny, Grandpa Bob. Like a child with candy, you are determined to get what you want. hmmmmm.....I should go over to Minnie's page and have a lil talk with her bout your candy. -grinning-

Hi Grandpa Bob! Nope, I can't say that I have ever had ribbon candy. I wqasn't even sure what it was until I read this discussion and saw the enclosed pic. I will have to have a look the next time I go to the store and get some if I see some. I would send you some, but you want it NOW and I'm in Canada so now just isn't going to happen lol. Luv & Hugzz, PurpleTeddyBear.

I haven't seen ribbon candy since I was at my grandmas house when I was a little girl. She always had it around the holidays. My favorite candy would be the little solid chocolate balls that have different color foil wrapping.

Oh stop youre whinning ive had enough. If I find your colored ribbon candy im gonna stuff so much in your mouth you wont talk for a month.

Ribbon candy is my favorite candy. I was just in walmart the other day and forgot to get me some. The various colors is what I buy. I just wish they would sell the ribbon candy all year around,not just for the holidays.

Oh does that box of ribbon candy bring back memories. My grandmother always had ribbon candy around during the holidays. I'm sure you could probably find the real thing online..but shipping would probably be outlandish. I am like you, I prefer the multiple colors and flavors. Thanks for the trip down memory lane and good luck with your search!

I haven't had that in years. Now I want some too. Guess I'll have to go out looking for it tomorrow. I like the kind with all the different colors. The plain red and white is too boring.
