Ribbon Candy (mine all mine)

I like a lot of the hard Christmas candy. But my all time favorite store bought candy for Christmas are chocolate covered cherries. My son and I love those and my mother used to always make sure we had plenty for the holidays.

Hi grandpa bob... Oh yes...the thin ribbon candy is the best...we have to get some too! And you are right...it is hard to find outside of the holiday season..we buy a couple boxes also..

Candy shouldn't just be for the children eh Grandpa Bob! I think we all big kids at heart and this wolf ain't no exception, I love candy too! We have these candies or sweets as us Brits call them, called Drumsticks, and they are sweets on sticks, a chew in actual fact raspberry and vanilla chew and they are so delicious! We buy a few packs at a time they are relatively cheap and are a treat for mum and I on a Thursday night when the old man goes out ha ha ha!

I love the ribbon candy. It is very hard to find, even at this time of the year here too.

I love candy corn in the shape of the pumpkin which I can still get for .10 a bag on clearance, that is what I have been eating..I also like the ribbons, but they are hard to find. I also like the soft taffy like peppermint candy that have the trees in the middle..(don't know what they are called, but I love them) and of course the Candy Cane, yummy..

That's funny - I just today bought my mother some Christmas candy that has ribbon candy in it. I hadn't seen any in years and they also had some packed as JUST ribbon candy, too. But, she likes the variety assortment best of all, so that's what I got her. We go to the Amish market, so you can get it by the pound or half-pound or hundred-pound, whatever is your pleasure (assuming they have enough). I also learned they have chocolate-covered popcorn, which Mom wanted to give to her Meals on Wheels delivery person this year, so we don't have to pay the extra-premium prices for mail order. I know there's Amish in Indiana and Ohio, but if there are any up your way, you might check out one of their markets to see if they have any as well. If their prices weren't so darned high, I'd buy there more often. We regularly buy scrapple, sausage and dried beef there.

I like that candy too. I really like the taffy nougat mint candy, its hard to find and you can only get it at Christmas time too. I just bought a bag of dark chocolate mint truffle kisses, they are only available for a limited time. They once had dark chocolate Kit Kats, they were really good. Enjoy your candy, hopefully you will find some more.

what is ribbon candy, I never heard of it.

Ribbon candy is my Daddys favorite and its hard to find sometimes. He bought about 6 box's the last time that he found it.Its not just deelicious but it is very beautiful.I hope you enjoy it Grandpa and have a happy Thanksgiving too.!

You'd better get back to the store and buy yourself some more of that candy. I'll be surprised if it lasts til Monday. LOL! Not that I can have much but my favorite holiday candy is mint M&Ms or the mint Hershey's Kisses. I love those things. Now I can only have a few at a time because of the sugar, but you can bet I won't be sharing them. Teeheehee!

I order some from the girl scouts....their double dipped chocolate covered peanuts...yummy. I haven't opened the can. I am waiting for my kids on Christmas before I put them out or I'll need new clothes before then! LOL

Grandma used to have the ribbon candy plus the hard kind that was a variety of solid colors and had fillings inside, usually fruit flavored. I loved the candy that had just plain cream inside it. I wish I could find that again! You know what else I love at this time of year? I'm haunting the stores in hopes of "honey tangerines". They are a slice (or several!) of heaven and I can barely wait for them to arrive! The whole 28 years I lived in Arizona, I couldn't get them and last year which was my first winter here in Ohio I finally got some. I must've eaten several dozen till they weren't in the stores anymore!

Love ribbon candy and seeing the pic makes me realise i need to get some..lol..Thanks for the reminder and hope i'm not to late..

Hi GRANDPA BOB, The only candy we always have at this time is chocolate coins that you can hang on the tree. Enbjoy your candy ribbons. Can I have one? Tamara

My stepdad has to have chocolate covered cherries he will go through 15 boxes atleast of them just for the Christmas Holiday. Of course he will eat a whole box of them in one setting. My grandma always bought that Ribbon candy she loved it. I buy it occasionally my problem is that I like to eat it to much and tend to eat to much..it is just to good to stop at one or two pieces

I just knew you'd get your ribbon candy, Grandpa Bob! Maybe you can run out and get some more, before the stock is depleted. As for me, my favourite holiday treat is 'Ferrero Rocher.' I know they're available at other times of the year, but Christmas is the only time I eat them. It just wouldn't be Christmas for me without them. My family is fully aware of this, as I start dropping 'unnecessary hints' early on.

Brandy beans! (Chocolate "beans" filled with brandy.) The "great love of my life" introduced me to them one Christmas long long ago and I've had 'em every Christmas ever since, even though the gloml is long gone...

I used to love ribbon candy as a kid. I can't even remember the last time I had it. I try to avoid store bought candy at holiday time so that I can stuff myself on homemade candy and baking.

Hey there This ribbion candy is new to me and call me crazy but i never heard of it . I see many other mylotters have heard of it . i now wanna try it and hope i can find some and try myself . sometimes all i do is crave candy Wally world seems to have a bit of everything ! It kinda looks like a fruit roll up or taffy .

Hi Grandpa Bob! I haven't seen Ribbon Candy anywhere in years! I will have to start looking again. Really haven't seen it anywere! Guess I'll have to check Wally World up here! I just love Christmas cookies! There's no Christmas candy I can think of that I like in particular. At least none that I can think of off had! I haven't started looking around yet. I do love ribbon candy to so I am going to see if I can find any. What I do like is that alot of boxed candy is on sale! And I do love boxed assortments!
