Vintage Candy – Nostalgic Candies

Introducing Vintage Candy to the New Generation

Vintage doesn’t necessarily mean that only the older generation can enjoy it. Vintage candy can also be enjoyed by the younger generation seeking a taste different from today’s popular candies. In addition to today’s popular candies which are classics carried over from past years such as Jolly Rancher chews and Twix bars, manufacturers such as Bonomo and Annabelle continue to come out with nostalgic treats that were thought to have been discontinued. Here’s a run-down of unique old candies to look out for:

Big Hunk: The Annabelle company is popular along the West Coast with retro candy and chocolate bars such as Abba-Zaba, Look! and U-No. Big Hunk is one of the old classics in the company’s line-up. Made with honey-sweetened nougat and whole roasted peanuts, this candy bar can be considered more of a snack just like a Snickers bar. Unlike the chocolate bar, Big Hunk has a sweet and salty contrast thanks to the peanuts in the mix. This makes it an enjoyable snack bar for those who want a sweet treat that’s got a unique kick.

Bonomo Turkish Taffy: Brought back to the market by Classic Caramel, Bonomo Turkish Taffy is surprisingly not the same as saltwater taffy. While it has a texture similar to the chewy treat, this particular vintage candy is actually closer to nougat. Back in its heyday, it was sold in long candy bars that were meant to be whacked to break into smaller pieces. While the long candy bars are still available now, customers looking to have a taste of this long-lasting, one-of-a-kind chew can also find these in bite-size pieces.
