We are excited to announce that Astro Pop suckers will be hitting the market again this summer. These are known as the rocket shaped sucker and they claim it is the longest lasting sucker. They will be coming back in the original flavors of passion fruit, cherry and pineapple. Astro pops were discontinued in 2004. Spangler candy company was the manufacturer from 1987 until 2004. In May of 2010 the rights were bought by Leaf Candy Company, however the machinery that was used was no longer available. Leaf has been working this last two years to get the right machines to make these old time suckers the same way there were many years ago. The original Astro Pop being shaped like a rocket was pointy , at one time they changed this lollipop instead of the point being at the top it was like they made them upside down. The fat part of the sucker was at the top and the sucker got thinner towards the bottom of the stick. Once the change was made it seem that consumers were no longer interested in these. They were not the same candy they ate as a kid. We are glad that Leaf company bought the rights and have decided to start making these Nostalgic candies again. Many of times these old time favorites are purchased no only because they taste good, but because they remind them of a special time and bring back so many memories. Although we are not sure exactly when Astro Pop will be available to purchase, we do know that it will be sometime within the next few months. If you would like to be notified when they become available just let us know.

If you are looking for a sweet treat to serve as dessert for your Easter dinner why not try these cute little chocolate bunny treats. A chocolaty spin on rice crispy treats. From start to finish depending on how many you make can take less then an hour. It would be a perfect treat to make with your kid These are pretty simple to make and each batch makes about 4 bunnies depending on the size of your cookie cutters. Cookie Cutter Needed are: Bunny Head Circle for body Small circle for tail You will need the following ingredients: 1 cup of Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels 3 tablespoons Butter or Margarine 4 cups Miniature Marshmallows 6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal frosting or icing for decorating you bunnies Ok now you have your supplies and your ingredients lets begin. 1. In a large saucepan, melt chocolate morsels and butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. You can also use a 7 oz. jar of marshmallow creme instead of the marshmallows. 2. Once your mixture is completely melted and blended add your Kellogg's Rice Krispies® cereal. Stir carefully until well coated. 3. Using wax paper, press mixture evenly into a 15 x 10 x 1-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cool slightly, this is going to work much better if your mixture is still somewhat warm. 4. Coat your cookie cutter with cooking spray to keep your rice krispies from sticking to them. Cut your mixture with your cookie cutters. Attach one rabbit head shape to top of large circle shape with frosting. Attach one small circle for tail to each. Decorate with frosting and/or candies. Best if served the same day. by: O'Ryans Village 0 Comments Links to this post |
