While going through my archives for the CountdownToHalloween this month, I realized I had a few older Halloween seasonal M&M’s packages I never covered before. So I gathered them together for today’s post which I think presents a nice look at how M&M’s Halloween packaging has evolved over time.
Back in December I covered Hershey’s fun new holiday seasonal offering; the candy cane-flavored Hershey bar. I thought that bar featured an elegant and appealing wrapper design as well as being a pretty tasty offering to boot. For Halloween this year, they’re offering another bar with another unusual holiday-themed flavor featuring the same packaging style. This time it’s Hershey’s Candy Corn!
Today I want to jump back a half-a-century ago to share a look at a wonderful piece of Halloween confectionery packaging from the Topps company.
Make the jump and enjoy Topps’ 1960’s Bazooka Halloween Mask bubblegum box!
Since it’s Friday, I thought it would be alliteratively appropriate to feature one of my favorite frightening fellows: Frankenstein. And it just so happens that Twizzlers created a fantastic bit of Frankenstein’s Monster-laden packaging this year just for the Halloween holiday.
So make the jump to check out this year’s super-cool Frankenstein-themed Twizzlers Halloween package!
Today is the first entry in our CountdownToHalloween vintage coverage and boy it’s a good one. In fact, out of all the things I have planned for the Countdown, this might be the post I’m most excited to share.
Now, for your Halloween historical enjoyment, I present the full contents of this incredibly rare and wonderful Brach’s 1971 Halloween sales and promotional packet!
It’s hard to believe (but I’m awfully excited to say) that it is once again October 1st and here at CollectingCandy.com that means it’s the beginning of our most exciting month of coverage as we participate in the annual CountdownToHalloween extravaganza! This marks our third year taking part in the month-long blogging event along with nearly 200 other websites covering all manner of facets and perspectives on the holiday. To mark the occasion, I thought I’d offer a bit of background and insight into how I came to be a part of this special event.
Across the country, the College Football season kicks off this weekend and as a Nebraska alum and fan, I’m pretty excited about it. I’ve written about my college football enthusiasm before, when I covered the unwrapping of a 30-year-old Cornhuskers chocolate bar back in 2012.
Today is all about celebrating the return of everyone’s own favorite teams and in order to do that, I’ll be showcasing packaging for the fifty-two different collegiate bars I was able to pick up from the Russell Stover website. Without further ado, check out Russell Stover’s many collegiate chocolate bar boxes.
Howdy, everyone. I’ve been doing a bit of traveling the past couple months which has kept me away from CollectingCandy.com more than I’d prefer. But on the plus side, a lot of that travel has led to uncovering great historical confectionery information while also allowing me to shop for candy in locations I don’t normally get to, including the Dallas airport terminal. Today I’d like to share a few pieces I picked up while on a layover last month – check out my Texas souvenir candy!
Coming in under the wire for Independence Day, I wanted to feature a fun set of patriotic candy packaging I picked up last year. Clearly designed to mark the 4th of July holiday, today I want to share a set of five different Charms Blow Pop Minis boxes!
Two nights ago while I slept, CollectingCandy.com’s page view counter ticked over past one million. It’s such a big round number and one I’m excited to see the site hit. As such, I thought the perfect way to mark the occasion would be to look back at an appropriately-named treat that’s still around today: Pangburn’s Millionaires!
