While summer can be tough on some candies, there are a number of vintage candy types you might want to try for the warmer months. These sweets stand out with their ability to keep firm and delicious, even when kept in hot places such as the inside of a car. In fact, some may even say that these become softer and more delicious with heat.
A sample of such confections comes from Annabelle's. This is the manufacturer behind a number of old time favorites from the 70's. Notable candies from them include Abba-Zaba and Big Hunk. These two are great choices for the summer for their toughness, which do melt well in your mouth after a while. Peanut butter lovers will enjoy Abba-Zaba for its mix of chewy taffy and melt-in-your-mouth peanut butter. Unlike the traditional salt water taffies, Abba-Zaba satisfies with a long chew that doesn't end so easily.
Big Hunk is another one that's great for warmer weather. Like the Abba-Zaba, this mix of honey-sweetened nougat and peanuts starts out hard, but eventually becomes a softer chew in your mouth. If you end up leaving this in a warm place one day, it actually speeds up the way it becomes chewy and doesn't become a strange melted mess that loses it flavor. Some people even recommend eating this warm.
Don't limit yourself to these choices when you pick out some sweet treats, though. There are other ways to enjoy vintage candy on a hot day. Try mixing the sweets with ice cream or frozen yogurt. This way, you can find new ways to enjoy old favorites.
