Sheila, Emma & Ella's previous preschool teacher, from Sheila's Shining Stars was kind enough to invite us on her school field trip to the Spanger Candy Co. which makes candy canes, dum-dum suckers, circus peanuts, safety pops, etc...This is our second visit but well worth it. You get to tour the company on a trolley while watching videos and being told about the company history and candy making process. They also have a small candy museum and store where you, of course, get free samples. Interesting....there are 6 to 8 new dum-dum sucker flavors created each year with only 1 or 2 ever making it to market which is decided by consumer interest. Lemon-lime was the new flavor on trial during our visit....I thought it was tasty. Ella is trying the buttered popcorn which was created and marketed in 2008. None of us cared for it. Oh yeah...you gotta love the hairnets!
