What's the difference between Mary Jane and Bit-O-Honey?
First, they're both about the same size, rectangular-shaped candies wrapped in a plastic wrapper. In the Mary Jane, the wrapper is carefully folded over, reminiscent of how we wrap Christmas packages, while Bit-O-Honey has twist wraps on each end, somewhat like the Tootsie Roll midgees.
Bit-O-Honey is a fairly unique confection, and yet people often compare it to another sweet: Mary Jane. Both candies, after all, boast a taffy base and, in their most popular forms, are sold in single-bite portions wrapped in yellow wax paper.
Description. Bit-0-Honey are soft and chewy bite sized treats full of sweet honey flavor! This candy is made with almond bits blended into honey flavored taffy.
Made with real honey and real almond bits, these naturally sweet taffy treats are a nostalgic and beloved brand that is now part of the iconic Spangler lineup.
Mary Jane is an old-fashioned peanut butter- and molasses-flavored taffy-type candy. Originally made in 1914 by Robert O. Lord's candy manufacturing company, he named it after his wife.
Spangler Candy Acquires Bit-O-Honey Brand From Pearson's Candy. Bryan, OH — Spangler Candy Co. has purchased the Bit-O-Honey candy brand, soft taffy with roasted almonds and honey, from Pearson's Candy Co. “Bit-O-Honey is a perfect addition to the Spangler Family of Brands,” says Spangler Chairman & CEO Kirk Vashaw.
As long as the candy is fresh and soft, it's a pleasant and surprisingly long-lasting chew. There are notes of honey as you would expect, as well as a smooth and creamy flavor of almonds. The chew is consistent to the very end, instead of descending into some grainy mess as many caramels do.
The eventual sale of Bit-O-Honey brand happened in 1984, when the Terson Company sold Ward Candy Segment brands to Nestlé Company on January 9, 1984. In May 2013, Nestlé sold the Bit-O-Honey brand to the Pearson's Candy Company of Saint Paul, Minnesota. Spangler Candy Company acquired the brand in November 2020.
Honey is safe for dogs to eat in small quantities. It contains natural sugars and small amounts of vitamins and minerals, and is used as a sweetener in many foods and beverages.
The old-time favorite, peanut-and-molasses-flavored chewy taffy treats, originally created by Necco, are now being produced by the highly reputable Atkinson's Candy. The new Mary Janes still promise the same flavor profile, but are now made in a new bite-sized shape with an updated twist wrapper.
For the first time since its debut in 1924 — when Calvin Coolidge was sitting silently in the White House and “Rhapsody in Blue” first set toes tapping — Bit-O-Honey is being produced in Minnesota, at the Pearson Candy Co.
Conjuring up sweet nostalgia, the beloved Mary Jane candies are back after leaving the shelves for two years. The New England Confectionary Company (Necco) was producing the penny candy, but when the Revere factory closed in 2018, Mary Jane lost her home.
Invented in the Miller family's kitchen, Mary Janes are an old fashioned candy constructed of molasses and peanut butter. The ingredients are right on the front of the bag!
A bland, easily digestible food such as cooked white rice mixed with boiled white meat chicken (no bones or skin) is ideal, but you can also use a small portion of your dog's regular diet. If your dog does not eat, pick up the meal and try again a few hours later.
But in our pets, quercetin is most often used to help with the itchiness, inflammation, and discomfort caused by allergies. It is commonly referred to as “nature's Benadryl” due to its natural anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antihistamine properties.
Kennel cough is a dry, hacking, persistent cough that can sound like the dog has something stuck in its throat. This dry hack is often followed by gagging or retching that sounds like the dog is coughing up a hairball, like a cat.
