Hammond's Christmas Candy

As far back as I can remember, Christmas wasn't Christmas until Grampa Kontur pulled out the tin of Christmas Ribbon Candy. As children, my sisters and I looked forward to that tin after special dinners and around the holidays. The selection process was well thought out, after-all no one wanted to be stuck with the fruit flavors or licorice flavors and we only got ONE choice! The agony! Grampa always let us choose a second piece if the first one was gross, even going so far as to "help" us select a "good" piece.

As an adult, I had forgotten this ritual until I found Hammond's Christmas Candy in a little boutique where I was selecting Christmas gifts. My childhood rushed back in an instant and ever since that moment, Christmas just isn't complete for me until I have my Hammond's Ribbon Candy (Cinnamon is my first choice, Clove is my second).

I am so excited to see that Hammond's offers these same sweets online now so I can be sure to secure my little piece of family ritual. Head on over to Hammond's Candies for old fashioned Candy Canes or Ribbon Candy and create your own family tradition!
