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!

delicious!
ReplyDeleteI have fond memories of Rock Candy! I remember getting them on road trips with my family! My sisters and I would see who took the longest to eat their Rock candy. I still remember the flavor and how the sugar feltd. I bet your soap is just as sweet!
Thanks for sharing, Claire! Did you make your candy last the longest? That's a contest I would have lost every time :-)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Love the bright colors. I spent a week every summer in Minnesota too-at Lake Koronis (Midwest Bible Camp). Our little canteen did not carry rock candy :-( The town was so tiny that I doubt the corner drug did either. I would have won the contest though, I can make candy last forever! :-)
ReplyDeleteWeren't those weeks in Minnesota great?
DeleteToo bad the canteen didn't have rock candy since you would have won the slowest candy eater contest :-)
I love your rock candy soaps! What an original, neat idea. :-) I am not sure that I have ever eaten rock candy, but it sure sounds yummy :0)))
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yummy is a good word for rock candy. It gives off quite the sugar high.
DeleteI am trying to find a recipe on how to make them in the soap form. Could you help me out?
ReplyDeleteI don't use a recipe, so sorry I can't be any help on that. I use glycerin soap base and a special mold.
