They sure do. My brother came to visit for Christmas and he brought me a big pack of these, chicken bones, the satin hard candies and clear toys from back home in New Brunswick.
I miss you Grandma Nichols!
She had those in a candy dish all year. Did I eat them? Yes! Would I eat them now? Not unless they were in her ‘crystal’ candy dish in the brown and orange sitting room.
I love ribbon candy. I watched a fascinating video once which showed how they make it. It’s a mechanical gizmo that does the pleating. The candy itself is made and stretched by hand, then they feed it into the machine.
One girl always brought ribbon candy to our elementary school holiday parties. It was always the last food on my plate, with little cheese popcorn bits and cookie crumbs attached. No thanks.
My great grandmother passed away in 1978 and 30 years later went through some of her things after gramps died (he kept everything, as the typical depression era child did). There were 2 candy dishes filled with candy. It all still tasted fine 3 decades later.
My mother put out a dish of a candy mix that included these as part of our Christmas decorations. I think it was the same candy every year because it was stuck together and nobody ever ate it.
