As we close out this year with the holidays, we wanted to thank our customers and members of the Candy Favorites family.
It is no secret that this year has had its challenges with candy shortages, but there has also been so much sweet joy that has come with this year. We could not have had a successful year without your support.
We started the year in January by extending our bagged candy selection opinions and getting Old Dominion Peanut Blocks and Reese's popcorn in stock.
Unfortunately, in February, we had a shortage of Valentine's Day candies, but we unveiled the secret behind Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, their golden ratio of peanut butter and chocolate.
In March, we conducted reviews of our favorite bagged Ferrara Candy company treats and another review of the many different types of marshmallows that we offer. April brought sweet news with candy manufacturers starting to ship out new products, and we got to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Haribo Gold Bears with their Limited Edition bags.
In May, we attempted to set candy world records and got the news that lime Skittles were back! In June, we found the top 10 candies of the summer and compared all the different types of Smarties to one another.
July was even more exciting, with our candies being sold at a classic store in our hometown, Pittsburgh, and the celebration of our 95th birthday.
In August, we introduced our candy concierge service, which hopes to bring quality customer service to the candy industry. Our President, Jon Prince, was also featured on Alison Stewart's WNEW podcast "All of it" in August.
We started September with new Efrutti Gummi candies and exciting announcements about our new sweets. October was a month of celebration as we celebrated national M&M day and the candy holiday of the year, Halloween.
While November started on a sad note with candy cane shortages, we ended on a sweet note by celebrating Reese's 94th birthday.
This month, December, has been full of festivities celebrating the holidays. But, of course, none of this would have been possible without your valued support and shared love for sweets. If you want to read more about our year, check out our other blog posts that detail all these moments.
We want to extend gratitude to our supporters and fellow candy lovers for another great year in the candy industry. We hope that we added a bit of sweetness to your year and wish you a joyful holiday season with lots of love, happiness, and sweets!
Thank you for the great year! We can't wait for another one in 2023!
