Don't Eat That Sweets and Laughs

History

In the early 1930's Barbara Richardson liked to go on trips. Being a rather neat and clean person, she immediately noticed how the many streets, alleys, and statues were covered in excrement from pigeons in New York City. As a way of responding to her daughter's question of "what's that stuff?" she heated up some white chocolate and being an expert  molder, shaped the hot lump before her into a little lion. She used pieces of dark fudge for the pigeon splats.  Word soon got around about the "pigeon decor" as people called it, and soon Barbara made enough money to quit her job and buy a little factory nearby. When she became old, her daughter took over. The idea for the "nuggets" hit when a factory worker dropped half a pound of pepper and several tubs of popcorn into the butter tank (by accident) while working part time at a concession stand in a movie theatre.  

          31 Days of Fun, also called the calendar, was made when 5th generation candy maker, Becky Richardson, had a month to wait till Christmas. Her mom, Heather, had a little Christmas calendar box, where she would put a square of white chocolate in a drawer depicting each day, right up till the 24th. As we all know, it’s not as exciting when you know what you will get every day twenty-four days in a row. In order to keep the magic and surprise alive that we all remember from this time of year, she coated all different kinds of delectable toppings, from chewy nougat, to crunchy peanuts, to sweet, gooey marsh mellow. These were then molded into delectable bars, each with a different filling, and enough for 31 consecutive days. Then, they were enrobed in chocolate again, so that each of the 31 bars was molded into a giant, manageable bar. 31 pieces could be broken off, for 31 days. (We suggest you should use it on February, so you can eat more one day).
