Synopsis

All of the gooey goodness of candy's glory years are presented in this lively retrospective of the confection industry.

PayDay®, Chic-O-Stick, Tootsie® Roll, and many more treats are featured in vivid photos and images from the candy culture of the past. For those with a sweet touch in the kitchen, basic candy recipes are included.
