See's Famous Old Time Candies
See's Famous Old Time Candies: A Sweet Story | Margaret Moos Pick
4 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
More fun than the episode of I Love Lucy set on the candy line and with stories richer than a Dark Chocolate Truffle, See's Famous Old Time Candies is a golden ticket to the candy factory (and, yes, See's did inspire that Lucy episode). Author Margaret Moos Pick chronicles See's history, from its humble beginning in Mary See's kitchen back in the 1890s to its place of reverence in the hearts of the sweet-toothed everywhere. Learn how See's candy experts hold chocolate tastings, treating batches like fine wines, to choose the very best; how bonbons are still meticulously hand-dipped to perfection; and how those at See's simmered, stirred, cooked, and tasted 250 recipesall to create the perfect truffle. For See's fans and proud candy lovers, here's a story with a very sweet center.

After posting about the tagged book earlier this month I‘ve had the strongest hankering for Sees chocolate so I treated myself!

I‘ve grown up devouring Sees #candy and it‘s my favorite chocolate shop. The nuts and chews box, pictured in the upper right hand corner, is my favorite. The tagged book tells the story of the history of Sees which began here in California and that famous I Love Lucy chocolate episode was inspired by Sees. Also one of the very few places that only uses fresh ingredients for its candy and chocolate.

Here's the perfect read for Halloween week for those like me who fear the horror genre. Loved learning about Mrs. See (Yes, she's real!), her original recipes & how the candy factory survived the lean years without sacrificing their quality. Who knew that Lucy and Ethel's famous episode was filmed at the See's LA location. Beware: You'll be indulging in more See's truffles and butterscotch lollipops after reading this. I can attest to that! 🙋🏻
