Today I found a pouch of the most tart, fruity, fat-​free, naturally-​flavored hard lemon drop candies ever created near the cash register at a Michael’s arts and crafts store. Can you say, «impulse purchase?»
Hey, Kay dragged me there. She’s the Maid of Honor at a friend’s wedding.
This bag of sunny treats was made by a 93 year-​old company that also sells peanut brittle and fudge among other confections that keep dentists employed.
Personally, I think Claey’s employs leprechauns and keeps it out of the media.
Human hands did not make the extraordinary «boiled sweets» that lay in front of me.
May a glass bowl full of Claey’s candies be found in the living room of every American grandmother’s home for the next century. Place one piece in your mouth and let your saliva blissfully melt it into nothing, as slowly as possible.
