Cella's memories... When I was little, my grandfather was still in the Navy. Every time he came home,
he'd always bring a lot of candy. He had a big sweet tooth and he helped cultivate mine as well. One of the best candies he would bring home
were the Cella's chocolate covered cherries. I always thought they were wonderful, gooey yet solid, fruity and chocolately.
When my mom wouldn't let me have any more, he'd always slip a couple to me when she wasn't looking
and tell me not to say a word. My grandfather's retired now, but every now and again he comes home with some of these. ~ Jade from Florida
One of my fondest childhood
memories is of Cella's chocolate covered cherries. When I was
growing up my parents had 5 children and Christmas was a little
sparce. My dad would usually make us some homemade toys, which we
all loved--but I always knew, that no matter what, there would be a
box of Cella's Chocolate covered cherries, wrapped under the tree.
It was the one of the only
things that I could count on in my childhood, and I looked so
forward to it. I would put the box in the freezer and eat them very
sparingly so that the memory of Christmas would last. I had a
special way of eating them. I would eat the crisp, hard bottom
first, and then suck out the liquid center and cherry, next I ate
the shell.
It was a tradition that
carried on well into my adulthood. When my dad passed away in 1990
my husband carried on the tradition. I can never see a box of
Cella's without thinking of my dad. Another thing that simply will
not do, is another brand of Chocolate covered cherries. I have tried
them but they are certainly not the same. ~ Deborah from Virginia
