Iconic Necco wafers go all-natural - Released today
Remember Necco Wafers when you were a kid? With Halloween coming, the surge in all sorts of candy comes to mind but it makes me also think of these multi-colored, fat free wafers that come in eight flavors:
- Orange
- Lime
- Lemon
- Clove
- Chocolate
- Cinnamon
- Licorice
- Wintergreen
What I didn't know is that in 1847, a young immigrant from England invented the first American candy machine and went on to become one of the pioneer members of the Necco family.
Four billion of these wafers are produced annually which equates to wrapping around the world twice if laid out next to each other, side by side.
Have some free time or kids?
Check out the fun things they have:
- Test Your Necco Knowledge <--- baby boomer fun game!
- Get Cooking <--- my middle daughter will love this!
- Writing a Report
- Take a Tour
- Games <-- this is really cool!
The best thing about Necco Wafers is they are available ANYTIME!
We just received our package ... yeah!!!
Unfortunately, my six year old didn't like them but the two year old smiled and proclaimed "yum yum!" as she ate her first ever chocolate Necco! They are a hit with her and they are natural which is a bonus.
I haven't had Necco Wafers since I was a kid so it's nice to see a renewed interest in this timely classic. Thanks to Danielle and TwitterMoms for this opportunity!
