i was never a big candy person growing up, and while i am sure my parents’ complete control of all sweets in the house definitely had something to do with it, i also never remember really missing it.  however, somehow over the last decade or so there are a few sugar items that i have found that i just cannot live without.  those cravings became even more intense after k’s arrival when i really, totally, in order to make it through the day on absolutely no sleep, had to have basic jelly beans (and not the ”gourmet” jelly bellys which are too small and just don’t have those original flavors), the juicy orange slices and licorice of all sorts especially the delectable kind that prune still offers post dining — those scottie dogs and coins were the best.

so in my quest for candy, i was shocked to discover that there is really only one place in the entire city that has everything you could dream of in the candy collection. not only do they have every kind of flavor of whatever you are looking for but they also have those childhood favorites from ages ago including some of my obsessions like fun dip, pop rocks and razzles.  happily, economy candy is still going strong and every now and then, even though i am a little off my candy obsession, i have to go in to fill up my jar at home.  economy candy, 108 rivington street at essex street, manhattan, new york, .
