All of the gooey goodness of candy's glory years are presented in this lively retrospective of the confection industry. Candy pays homage to the companies and brands that have become American icons, in the process chronicling the history of sweet treats across the globe — from the ancient Egyptians to the first box of Valentine's Day chocolate. PayDay®, Chic-O-Stick, Tootsie® Roll, and many more treats are featured in vivid photos and images from the candy culture of the past. For those with a sweet touch in the kitchen, basic candy recipes are included.
