Growing up, one of my favorite spots at the grocery store was the Brach’s bulk candy or Pick-A-Mix area. Decades before the modern bulk candy sections of super-stores, Brach’s kept the old-fashioned general store feeling alive with their candy sales areas.
Encouraging you to grab a bag and fill it up, the Brach’s kiosks offered a great way to get a nice variety of treats. These diminutive delights were varied to my young palette, with some becoming lifelong favorites, while others remaining exotic strangers I would never get to know.
