M&M's Plain Milk Chocolate Candy - Case - Click Here To Buy!

M&M’s – An inspired candy!

Do you know the history of the M&M? The founder of Mars Company got the idea for the chocolate confection in the 1930’s during the Spanish Civil War when he saw soldiers eating chocolate pellets with hard shells of chocolate – which prevented the candies from melting. So, Mars got a patent for his own process and started producing them in 1941, and were served in cardboard tubes. They really caught on during World War II and were exclusively sold to the military during the war.

Did you also know that the color mix of M&M’s isn’t just random? The mix is actually a result of consumer preference tests! According to M&M’s website, each package of Milk Chocolate M&M’s should contain: 24% blue, 14% brown, 16% green, 20% orange, 13% red and 14% yellow. Now, who wants to buy a bunch of M&M’s and test the statistics? Any takers? www.candymachines.com

3 Health Benefits Of Candy

Hot Tamales Candy - Bag - Click Here To Buy!

I can remember as a kid that if I could have one wish, it would be that candy was good for you. Well that may not be too far off. Here are 3 health benefits that may surprise you:

Studies from the Harvard School of Public Health say that people who eat candy one to three times per month, outlive those who don’t. As always, moderation is key.
Chewing gum improves mental health. It is believed that gum (any gum), can improve your mood, reduce stress, increase mental focus, and even block pain. The act of chewing increases serotonin levels.
People who eat chocolate regularly may not only satisfy their sweet tooth, but they lower their risk for heart disease. According to the department of public health and primary care at the University of Cambridge in the UK, researchers have found that those who eat the most chocolate on a regular basis reduce their risk for heart disease by one-third! But keep in mind that because of the fat and sugar content, it should be consumed in moderation.

Reeses Pieces Peanut Butter Candy 2.75 lbs. - Click Here To Buy!

Dad’s Candy
Recently I lost my father to liver cancer. He was way too young and it was way too fast. As I try to move on from this life altering event, I start to remember the little things that never seemed so important. Things like: he drove a black truck, his favorite shirt was the one with the stripes, and he was a sucker for chocolate.
My dad could have his Reese’s anytime of the day or night. It was one of his favorite things. If the grandkids came to visit they would go right for his candy stash. It was something that at the time upset me as their parent. You know the whole ruin the dinner and all. Now I look back on it and smile fondly.
I have a bag of Reese’s Pieces on my desk. I look at it and smile and think of my Dad. I will share that bag in his honor with whoever walks into my office at whatever time of day. I will also share that bag of Reese’s with any of my co-worker’s children that come into the office, no matter how close it is to dinner time.
Thanks Dad!

Create Your Own Candy Poem!

Red Hots, .8 oz - Click Here To Buy!

Growing up we didn’t have a lot of money so we always made our mom’s birthday gifts. She always said they were her favorite. Mom is a big candy fanatic so whenever we could, we would pull our change together and get her a nice big candy bar to go with her homemade gift. When Mom turned 40, I thought it would be great to combine the idea of making her gift and adding the candy to it.

I wrote this poem using the names of different candy on a big piece of poster board. Whenever I came to a word in the poem that included candy, I would actually tape that candy to the poster. I saw this idea once before for someone’s anniversary and thought with a little tweaking it would work for any occasion. Here is my poem. Feel free to modify it for yourself.

Happy Birthday to one Red Hot Mom that any little Sugar Babies would be grateful to have.

Things our Mom taught us:

• You don’t need to have a big PayDay or live on 5 th avenue to make things fun.

• That Rocky Roads can always be fixed with a Snap

• It’s okay to move the Slow Pokes out of your way so you can take a Look .

• Always remember your manners Now & Later

• While New York can be fun, so can sitting at the table with the rest of the Kit Kats.

• Being smart is okay, being a Smartie is not

So thanks Mom and Happy Birthday!

M&M's Plain Milk Chocolate Candy - 3.5 lb. Bag - Click Here To Buy!

The healing power of Chocolate

One of the most popular chocolate brands there is and that has always been my favorite are M&M’s, such beautiful colors that adorn them makes it delectable to our brain, at least to me. Every time I open a bag of them I tend to eat them by color. It’s a small guilty pleasure I have, because it’s not too much chocolate nor to little, but just the right amount.

It seems to me than when we receive a box of chocolates or a bag of chocolates, it brings a smile to our face, why does this happen? Is it something in the ingredients of the chocolate? Or just because we tend to stereotype the concept of receiving chocolates for a special occasion and cognitively know that we have to like it?

Well scientists have found that dark chocolate reduces the risk of cardiovascular problems as well as chocolate helps boost your cognitive abilities, among other things. So in conclusion, whether you eat chocolate for their natural benefits or for a nightly pleasure, grab a bag of your favorite chocolate and enjoy.

Skittles Candy - 3lbs. - Click Here To Buy!

Back to School with Skittles Math

When I taught preschool, one of the challenges for my students was learning to sort by color and counting the items specifically. The other teachers and I would use Skittles to help the kids grasp this concept.

You get a bag of Skittles and you give a handful to each student with a piece of paper and some crayons. The students sort all the Skittles into piles by colors. They have to count each color and then on the paper you provided them, draw the corresponding number of circles in that Skittles color. They do this for each different color they received from the handful you provided.

The best part is, when they are all done with the project, they get to eat the Skittles! Since Skittles are gluten free, you usually do not run into any issues. You can also do this same project with M&M’s if you like chocolate better.

Runts Candy - Click Here To Buy!

Summer candy vending hint…

If your vending machines are in an especially hot and or humid location and the candy starts sticking together try this. Spray a large plastic spoon with an unflavored, non-stick cooking spray then stir the candy around until it has a shiny look to it. This can prevent the pieces from sticking together, but it is important not to use too much cooking spray, or the candy will seem greasy.
Runts is one candy that holds up well to summer’s heat and humidity. Runts is a hard fruity candy made by Nestle and sold under their famous Willy Wonka Candy Company brand name.

Bulk Vending Candy for Summer!

Cotton Candy Bulk Candy - Click Here To Buy!

Summertime and the living is easy!

Make your living easier by filling your bulk vending machines with candy that holds up to summer heat and humidity.

Replace Reeses Pieces, M&M’s, and Sixlets with fun theme candies for summer. There’s Cotton Candy and just the thought of Ice Cream Cone Candy cools me down! This candy mix includes Vanilla, Banana, Orange , Strawberry, and Chocolate Milk flavors. I take the Strawberry, Vanilla, and Chocolate candy pieces and make a Neopolitan to delight my sweet tooth.

On the serious side, these candies hold up well because they are hard pressed candy. They are made from powdered ingredients, mostly dextrose mixed with colorings, in a machine that compresses and forms the dextrose into different shapes. Then the candy is coated with either a clear or colored glaze that provides a hard glossy surface. When you bite into the candy it easily breaks apart into a chalky, powdery sweet flavor.

Besides the great tastes, the colorful polished candy is eye catching in any candy vending machine .

A fun way to brighten up your machine is with our Sweet Revenge Candy. These treats have a sweet fruit flavor on the outside and then a different tangy fruit flavor on the inside! Brilliantly bright colored coatings on the outside will draw attention to a lot of customers.

So, one of my favorite candies is the jawbreaker because it lasts for a really long time and they taste so good. Boulder Breaker Jawbreakers are one of our largest sizes ever which makes them extra long lasting. They are 2 ¼” in diameter and come in a case of 85

One of our most popular jawbreakers is the Time Bomb Jawbreakers. The reason for this is because they are easy to vend and they are fruity flavored. These vend with a 1” gumball wheel and come in a case count of 850.

Cute little creatures always seem to be an attraction, so why not vend cute little fishes? Aquarium Fish Candy will make a great catch in vending location. They are shaped to resemble little fish with their scales, fins, and faces and are brightly colored to grab everyone’s attention.

Neon Stars Bulk Candy is a simple yet tasty way to fill up those machines. These pressed powder candies are made for vending in candy machines and come in case of 12,375. A sweet treat that anyone, young and old, will enjoy.

Willy Wonka sure did it big with Runts Candy! These crunchy fruit flavored candies are so good and so popular; you’ll have no problem selling these! With flavors like Green Apple, Grape, Strawberry, Orange, and Banana it’s no wonder why these little “runts” are so desirable.

M&M's Plain Milk Chocolate Candy - 3.5 lb. Bag - Click Here To Buy!

In 1941, American GI’s serving in WWII were introduced to what were soon to be America’s favorite candy coated chocolates.
When M&M’s first came out, they were packaged in cardboard tubes. In 1948, the packaging was changed to what we know as the little brown bags today.
In 1950, the very first “M” was printed in black. It gave them their unique trademark and was eventually changed to white.
Over the next couple years, the Peanut M&M was finally introduced and in 1954, the tagline: “Melts in your mouth, not in your hands” was born.
During that same time, the world famous M&M’s characters made their TV debut.
M&M’s were finally introduced internationally in 1980 and have been an American classic/favorite ever since.

Be sure to get your M&M’s Peanut Candies and M&M’s Plain Milk Chocolate Candy from candymachines.com.

No matter the origin of the name there’s no question that any confectionary with the name Mike and Ike stamped on it is a favorite with young and old alike.

The latest addition to the line is the Mike and Ike Bubble Gum. It includes the same delicious tastes as the candy, but now customers can blow bubbles the size of balloons and enjoy the same cherry, orange, strawberry and lemon and lime flavors.
