Mary Janes

Mary Jane candy is distinct from many of the penny candies out there. First, theyre a toffee. The texture is harder than taffy. Its sweet and nutty, maybe a little savory a combination of the molasses and peanuts, the two featured ingredients. The texture, like many toffees of its kind (think: Bit O Honey) is hard at first and grows softer and softer as you chew. The texture does become sticky, but not a pull-out-your-teeth sticky. As for the sweetnessdefinitely sweet but not cloying. AND – they were made in the former home of Paul Revere. They also inspired a lawsuit. Best of all – they endured through the years and are here today! We love you, Mary Jane!
