Gingersnaps (also knows as ginger biscuits are a popular type of snack food, and are often referred to as ginger nuts in the UK. They are biscuits/cookies flavoured with powdered ginger, anise, and other spices.

They are sold and made worldwide and have a long history, probably dating back to medieval fairs. They generally measure 5cm (two inches) in diameter.

In the United States, gingersnaps are generally round drop cookies, usually between 1/8- and 1/4-inch thick, with prominent cracks in the top surface.

Scandinavian gingersnaps, also called ginger thins or pepparkakor, are rolled quite thin (often under 1/8-inch thick), and cut into shapes; they have smooth tops, and are usually somewhat crisper (and in some cases, more strongly flavoured) than the American version.

Goo Goo Cluster
Name:
Goo Goo Cluster
Chocolate Snack
Description:
CanadaUnited States of America

Goo Goo® Clusters... one of the original candy bars. They are made of milk chocolate, peanuts, caramel and marshmallow in a 1.75 ounce bar.

History

In 1901, Howell Campbell, a Tennessee candy maker, founded the Standard Candy Company in Nashville. Originally located on 1st Avenue in downtown Nashville, Mr. Campbell, a 19 year-old entrepreneur, had big dreams for his new candy company.

His philosophy was simple: use only the finest, most wholesome ingredients combined with time, care and experience to make confections of outstanding richness and flavor. The business soon grew into a flourishing family enterprise that became known throughout the area for its delicious assortment of high-quality confections.

The first products sold by the company were hard candies and chocolates. Mr. Campbell's most well known candy, the Goo Goo Cluster, was a completely new and revolutionary candy invention.

In 1912, "America's 1st Combination Candy Bar" was developed. Howell Campbell was the very first confectioner to make a candy bar with multiple ingredients (i.e. with more than just solid milk chocolate).

He made Goo Goo Clusters by combining peanuts, caramel, marshmallow and milk chocolate together into a deliciously round cluster. Goo Goos were originally sold unwrapped in big glass candy jars. People loved the delicious new concoction and Goo Goo Clusters soon became the company's best selling product.

There are many variations as to how the Goo Goo Cluster got its name, but the actual story goes like this. Mr. Howell Campbell used to ride a streetcar to work everyday. Soon after he developed his delicious new confection, word spread quickly about his tasty treat. People didn't know how to ask for or what to call this confectionery delight. Mr. Campbell was extremely excited that his newest concoction was the talk of the town, but even he, himself was baffled as to what to call his latest creation.

One day Mr. Campbell was discussing his dilemma with a fellow passenger on the way to work. The lady passenger, a school teacher, remarked that the candy bar is "So Good, People Will Ask For It From Birth!" Thinking about what the woman said, Mr. Campbell recalled the first sounds his newborn son made; Goo Goo!

Goo Goo Clusters were officially a hit and to promote his new Goo Goo Cluster candy bars, Mr. Campbell advertised them as "A Nourishing Lunch For a Nickel!" Obviously times have certainly changed from the 1920's and 30's!

Parents of today wouldn't be too happy with their youngsters if they just ate candy bars for lunch. But back during the time of the depression, Goo Goos were a great value for the many folks that didn't have much money. Times change and so have prices, But Goo Goos still represent one of the best candy bar values available today!

Green & Black's Organic Mint
Name:
Green & Black's Organic Mint
Chocolate Bar
Description:
CanadaIrelandUnited KingdomUnited States of America

The freshness of mint, whilst wonderfully clean and invigorating, can overpower other flavours when they are combined. For this reason, the goal for the mint bar was to achieve the correct ratio of dark chocolate shell to mint fondant filling. We hope you agree that neither the chocolate nor the mint dominate, but instead complement each other perfectly.
