Zero candy
memories... When I was a kid growing up in
Northeastern Pennsylvania, little corner grocery stores were still the
norm as huge supermarkets and gas station convenience stores were
still not on the scene. These little Mom and Pop stores carried a
little of everything, but a LOT of candy! "Hollywood Brands"
candy bars made a bar called the Milkshake. I loved those so much, I
wrote a letter to the company. They loved my letter so much, they sent
me a box of samples of their other candy bars, including Pay Day,
Butternut and Zero.
I loved them all, but the Zero bar was so
unique---white fudge coating instead of milk chocolate or dark
chocolate... soft, tasty center with delicious caramel. What a treat!
Well, Hollywoods Brands sold to Leaf and I think again to Hershey's.
The Butternut and Milkshake are gone (Hopefully they'll return
someday.). Pay Day is more popular than ever, with a fancy television
ad campaign. But Zero is still that unique bar in the
background---still the only white coated candy bar I know of and still
delicious as ever! ~ Angelo from Virginia
Growing up in
the town of Centralia, Illinois, I remember what a treat it was to
tour the Hollywood Candy Company factory. Seeing the candy being made
was a child's dream come true. The bite size samples of Milk Shake
candy bars and Butternut candy bars filled our pockets... but it was
the ZERO that was always the favorite. Put it in the freezer and just
start by licking the white fudge off of the bar... Yes, those were the
good ole days! ~ Jon from California
