How to Find the Best Traditional Christmas Candy

The History of Giving a Lump of Coal at Christmas

It all started in Holland.

1. If a child was good they got a toy and candy
2. BUT if a child was bad they got a big ole fat, dirty lump of coal.

Buy your own lump of coal for that special someone's stocking to your right, it is delicious and fun.

The most loved and time honored Christmas candy makes for a great Christmas holiday.

Many a young child believes in Santa and families on Santa's route treasure the memories made during Christmas time, the letters to Santa, the stockings hung for Santa to fill.

Every child remembers the taste of a special treat dreaming of Christmas morning and how good it will taste!

The best Christmas candy can always be found on the top of every stocking candy list of all time favorites.

Special Christmas candies always put a huge smile on the faces of kids old and young alike.

Sheer joy is a given every time the young and old alike lay eyes on the bulging stockings packed with all their favorites.  

I've done my homework and found out the top candy favorites making a list of the best Christmas Candy money can buy.

Just to the right you will see my two favorite candies for Christmas, not just for me but family members.  I have several dear family and friends who love caramel and hard candies at Christmas time.

I found Hammond Candy years ago when my kids were little, this candy has proven to be the best I have found after exhausting searches and reviews. 

This high quality and still made by hand candy, even their candy canes are a pleasant surprise every year and still considered the ultimate dream candy to find in stockings,

The Traditional Christmas Candy Favorite that tops the list is Candy Canes. What is Christmas without candy canes.

I must say I was not surprised I mean who doesn't have a candy cane for Christmas.

It's one of the most commonly used decor items restocked each holiday season.

After all candy canes do go everywhere, the tree, decor all around the house, on packages and in gift bags.

Candy canes busy kids with a safe activity they can add while trimming the tree.

Kids, young and old alike, love decorating the tree with candy canes. This is another great holiday tradition. 

Next on the list of Christmas candy favorites following coal is;

• Candy Coal
• Ribbon Candy
• Hard Candy
• Rock Candy

Next on the list of Christmas candy favorites is no doubt a special favorite of adults.

This list covers the homemade favorites and while you may not be a great candy maker you can get great homemade candy if you know where to look for it.  

I'm highlighting the online greats of the homemade candy world just to your right.  

The amazing and brilliant part to this entire process of buying homemade Christmas fudges online is you get amazing quality while saving time and money.  

After buying the ingredients, making the candy (which we know we cannot) you will have spent more time and money not to mention the mess in your kitchen you face.  

After shopping for ingredients, spending a lot of money, making the candy, cleaning and kitchen, packing the candy in gift boxes or bags, you run the risk of making a awful batch of candy you can't share with anyone.

Will you throw the underwhelming batch of candy away or keep it around for the family and you yourself eating far more than you'd like to admit, packing on pounds you do not want?

This shopping review is a fool proof way to insure you get the best holiday candy all while avoiding the pitfalls and expenses of making it yourself.  

Besides, who needs to know where you got it? I won't tell.
