Rock Candy

Have you ever had Rock Candy?  When I was a kid, I got to spend a week in Minnesota each summer (or most, anyway).  One of my favorite memories of those days was going to an “Old Fashioned” candy store where the candy was in big glass containers and big baskets. 

We got to choose some candy to put in our very own sack.  The idea was to make our sack of candy last all week. 

 
One of my favorites was rock candy.  I loved the sparkly look of those sugar crystals on a stick.  I can’t remember if they were made in different colors and flavors way back then, but if they were, I know the richly colored ones would have been my favorite.

Rock candy was fun to eat.  And it took a bit of time to eat the sugar on a stick, so that helped me make the candy last longer. 
  

I don’t eat rock candy anymore, but I do make Rock Candy Soap!  I love to use various colors and fragrances in these fun novelty soaps.


Do you know someone who likes rock candy?  Do you have fond memories of rock candy or some other vacation treat?  I’d love to hear from you.

Thanks for reading!
