Re: Everything Is Fine
I've never heard of See's candies until now. Has my life been half lived?

They started in California in the 20’s and while primarily still here they have been nationwide for some time. There was a time that you couldn’t go to a major strip center or mall in the south land that didn’t have a See’s.
I like their candies. However...I also like Russell Stover as well, their higher end chocolates. I think they are less sweet.
I have the original See’s fudge recipe and have made it since I was a small girl. Even using the soft ball method, no candy thermometer.
Grandma was a candy maker for See’s and “somehow” we ended up with that recipe!

Re: Everything Is Fine
There's See's in the Pittsburgh PA area. One of the
shops is about half hour away. Catt is the only one
that I've heard talk about them. And now you RS.
Next time I'm headed to Pitts, I have to stop by the
shop.
They are also on the web and ship.
We know that are lovely Catt will take 'em anyway
that she can get 'em!!

Yes they ship..but going to a store is something you should try to do...they give samples too! You can buy pre made boxes or select your own and make up your own mix!honey wrote: ↑4 years agoThere's See's in the Pittsburgh PA area. One of the

OSOTT you are not alone. I also have never heard of See's before this forum. You & I both must live a sheltered life!OtherSideOfTheTracks wrote: ↑4 years agoI've never heard of See's candies until now. Has my life been half lived?

Re: Everything Is Fine
@Blossom apparently so! I just checked locations and there are very few in the South so I guess that's the reason! But now I'm very curious. How can I live a fulfilled life without knowing what it tastes like? I don't eat a lot of candy, but I want to try it!Blossom wrote: ↑4 years agoOSOTT you are not alone.

@RS - can you sell "grandma's candy" on Hawkin's Cove?

Re: Everything Is Fine
I haven't tried to make any in years. Have a good friend who makes bunches of chocolate & peanut butter both every Christmas & loves to share. Bless her heart, it's not very good but I always ooooo & aaaah over it...it's the thought that counts! No worries about calories if I don't eat any!Gypsy wrote: ↑4 years agoI'm so jealous!!!.
