Virtual Academy: Clear Toy Candy

Date(s): 11/11/2021
Time: 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Join Zachary Long, Volunteer and Special Events Coordinator at Pennsbury Manor, as he shares his interest in the story of this colorful and tasty holiday treat. Clear toy candy is a traditional confectionery that has origins in Germany, England, and even Scotland, with forms of this candy dating back to the 17th century. Clear toy candy quickly became an art form and has dazzled children and parents alike throughout the Christmas and Easter seasons. During this presentation we will explore the history of this candy, as well as the molds and manufacturers who made it all possible.
