Jelly Nougats memories...
I always loved Brach's jelly nougats, and by the time I got to college, I could not write a paper without a big bag of them by my side. I was an English major, so you can imagine how many nougats I consumed in four years! When I was at the University of California at San Diego in the early 70's, there were only two supermarkets around that carried bulk candy; both were 15 minute drives from the campus. One night, I knew I'd be up very late with a paper due the next day, and I just had to have my jelly nougats. If you know La Jolla, you know that the occasional fog can be treacherous to drive in. This was one of those nights. I had to drive with my roommate's head hanging out of the window to see the lane markings so that we wouldn't crash into an oncoming car -- all for those jelly nougats. It was worth it -- I got the nougats and aced the paper! ~ Julia from Virginia I remember my grandmother always having this candy in her purse when she took us to church. She would give us candy to help us stay awake and be quite. We would smash them and make them flat before eating them. We thought it made it look like we had a bigger piece of candy. It has been a long time since I have seen this candy or had a piece. I didn't know they still made it or even the name. I have to share with my son now. Plus it's a reminder of my granny. Can't wait to get it home. ~ Felicia from Washington Jelly Nougats were my favorite candy to
pick from when we went to my How funny it is that we have such fond childhood memories from a favorite piece of candy. A co-worker told me about this site and it was like I was a kid again in a candy store when I was checking all the candies you have available. ~Theresa from California |
