What made me think about getting the spice gum drops was thinking about my Dad
I’m 70 - so a old great memory. Dad worked construction and drove to jobs out of town allot. I remember he made his own version of “ road snack” back in the 1960’s… he would take a large can with a lid and mix spice gum drops and peanuts in it … I remember the taste and aroma from when I was a kid. So I ordered them. And it’s great!
Arrived in 3 days as promised !
We love reviews such as yours! Half the fun of selling candy and being the oldest wholesale candy company is the many great reviews we receive about the memories that candy brings! While candy, especially spice drops, are great to eat, we cherish the memories they bring even more so! We are grateful to have you as a customer and for sharing your memories of your father! Editor's note - my father kept Necco Wafers in the door of his car. He has been gone for many years, and I am close to 60, but I keep them in my car too!
These are so bad they are literally unpalatable. I miss Brach’s Chicks and Bunnies. There is NO comparison.
We are sorry you didn't enjoy the marshmallow treats, and we agree that they are different from Chicks and Bunnies, which makes a true comparison a challenge! Brachs discontinued almost all of their beloved seasonal candies, so at this point, we are happy to have an item close enough to bring back memories. Again, we are sorry these didn't live up to your expectations, and please don't hesitate to reach out if we can ever offer candy guidance befre you place an order.
Love the soft sweet taste of these treats.
They do offer a great balance of sweet and soft marshmallow texture! We are glad you enjoyed yours and appreciate your review!
Will the Bar itself ever come back.
Yes, long may both of these classics wave! The future of the Clark Bar is precarious as Necco hasn’t found a buyer but lets keep hope high and fingers crossed… Thanks for visiting CandyFavorites.com!
The CLARK BAR is a classic! My father’s side of the family, the Magees, are from Pittsburgh since 1789. I am 65 ( Yipes) and have recently fallen in love with CLARK BARS only to learn of its Pittsburgh heritage. Seems a good match!
The other historical candy bar that I can’t live without is Goldenberg’s peanut chews. Made in Philadelphia since 1912 these candy bars were used as food rations during World War I. Absolutely spectacular both of them and long may they wave!I grew up in Pittsburgh. I will always remember the 5th grade field trip to the Clark Candy Factory on the North Side. Clark Bars, Zagnuts, Teaberry gum to name a few. Great times, great candy
I am 66. The fact I got to be this age CONSTANTLY amazes me. Don’t ask why it would be too embarrassing to explain!
My father was a cab driver for Yellow cab when I was around 5 or 6. Mom always stuffed me in the 1955 Pontiac for the drive to the Cab company to pick him up at 2 or 3 AM. (HEY, I was 5!) The Clark Candy factory was right next door and I can STILL recall the sweet smell of the chocolate as I sat in the back seat waiting for Dad to get off. I still eat Clark bars to this day!
