Halloween Is Five Weeks Away. Here's How Idaho Candy Fits In.
Share
Halloween is five weeks away, which means candy season is officially underway. The big displays are already up at grocery stores, and anyone hosting a Halloween party or handing out something beyond the standard bags is starting to think about it now.
Idaho Candy Company has been part of Halloween candy traditions in the Pacific Northwest for over a century. Their bars are the kind of thing people remember getting as kids - and the kind of thing that makes a Halloween spread worth talking about.
What Makes a Halloween Candy Memorable
Standard Halloween candy is expected. The bars that get remembered are the ones nobody else is handing out. According to the National Confectioners Association, Americans spend over $3 billion on Halloween candy each year - but the candy people actually talk about is always the unexpected stuff. [External: candyusa.com] Vintage and regional bars consistently generate more conversation than mass-produced options.
The Idaho Spud Bar
The Idaho Spud Bar is shaped like a potato, which makes it one of the more visually interesting things you can put in a Halloween bowl. A cocoa-flavored marshmallow center coated in dark chocolate and sprinkled with coconut - introduced in 1918 and still made in the same Boise factory. For anyone who hasn't had one, it's a Halloween discovery worth making.
The Old Faithful Bar
The Old Faithful Bar is the crowd-pleaser in the Idaho Candy lineup. Vanilla marshmallow, whole peanuts, milk chocolate - made since 1925. It's approachable, satisfying, and the right choice for a Halloween spread where you want something for everyone.
The Cherry Cocktail Bar
A whole cherry at the center, surrounded by cream, then encased in freshly roasted peanuts and premium milk chocolate. The Cherry Cocktail Bar has been made since 1926 and is the bar people ask about after they've tried it.
Order Early
Halloween orders fill up as October approaches. The Mixed Candy Bar Pack gives you 3 of each bar in the lineup - a solid starting point for a Halloween spread that nobody else in the neighborhood will have. Order now at idahospud.com.
