‘Grandma Candy’ The Old-Fashioned Treat

[Jazzy1]

Many retro candies were as liked as they were despised, depending on your grandma's stash—but, regardless of flavor, there is something magical about remembering exactly how they taste, even decades later.

Moreover, it’s fun to reminisce on sneaking from her sugary loot. Turns out, those crystal bowls and milk glass dishes—both of which made ample clinking noises—were perfect for alerting grandma that little ones were snagging candy before dinner.

Anyone remember these:

What candy do you remember was in Grandma's candy dish?

I remember sneaking into my Grammy's candy dish with the clunky glass lid......and hearing, "Who's in my candy dish?"

My grandmother had an amber Sharon or cabbage rose covered candy dish similar to this one.


It usually held lemon drops, butterscotch buttons, pinwheel peppermints, or wintergreen lozenges.

I was a master at snitching a piece of candy without a clink but my sister was not so lucky.

More than the candy dish, I remember the lint covered perfume flavored pieces of candy from the bottom of my grandmother’s purse that she used to slip to me during a rather long and boring Sunday sermon.

None..my granny never had any sweets in a bowl on the sideboard like a lot of old ladies...

My Mother-in-law however always had a huge bowl of Walnuts on her sideboard.. I'm sure she treated them more like an ornament... I never saw anyone eat any...
