The taste of winter in a wrapped stick. Stand one in a mug of hot chocolate and let it melt down into the cup.

This is the real thing: a Gilliam old fashioned candy stick, red and white, five inches long and a quarter inch thick, sealed in its own clear wrapper. Gilliam has been turning out stick candy since 1927, and the wrapper still says so. Work it slowly and the tip sharpens to a point, exactly the way it did when you were seven.

We sell these one stick at a time from the candy counter, so you can build a handful of flavors instead of committing to a whole box. They fill a party favor bag, ride along in a lunchbox, sit in a jar on the counter, and stir a mug of hot tea. This one is kosher parve and its wrapper carries the full printed ingredient statement.
