Why Do We Celebrate National Candy Month?

All this worldly wisdom was once the unamiable heresy of some wise man.

Henry David Thoreau

National Candy Month Activities

1. Have a candy battle

   Ever wondered which candy reigns supreme once and for all? Have a candy battle with friends! Here's how you do it: host a candy party where you supply all your favorite brands of candy. Have your friends show up and gorge—and the candy that gets eaten the most is the winner!

2. Make some candy sushi

   If you've been anywhere around Pinterest in the last year, you'll know delicious-looking candy sushi has been making the rounds. Long pieces of candy (like Twizzlers) substitute for the fish and vegetable strips in real sushi, while rice is replaced by Rice Krispies. It's the most delicious roll-up you've ever had!

3. DIY your favorite candy

   Take your favorite candy to a whole new level by making it yourself at home! Some great candidates to start are peanut butter cups, Kit Kats, and chocolate clusters. Flex your baking muscles, impress your friends, and have a delicious treat to boot!

Why We Love National Candy Month

1. It's the most delicious month of the year

   Who can argue with a whole month dedicated to eating candy? We sure can't. Whether you prefer chocolate or sour candy, the world is your (candy) oyster this month. Go wild—you can worry about cavities next month.

2. It celebrates candy's economic impact

   Did you know that the candy industry is worth $35 billion, and provides 55,000 jobs? Candy is a vital part of our economy! And, according to the National Confectioner's Association, many of the major candy companies in America are actually family-owned.

3. It reminds us to stay balanced

   While we all love candy, this holiday sends an important message—everything in moderation. The NCA has worked hard to make sure candy has accessible labeling, so that consumers know the amount of sugar they're consuming. Let this holiday be a reminder to indulge responsibly—eat candy, but know how much sugar you're consuming.

Gummy bears, sour straws, chocolate—oh my! This June is National Candy Month, meaning you can eat all of these and more. Started by the National Confectioner’s Association (according to them, they’re “a trade association that advances, protects and promotes chocolate, candy, gum and mints”), the holiday celebrates the value candy adds to our lives. Candy has been produced for over 100 years, which means you have a lot of catching up to do if you want to eat it all. So work your way through copious amounts of candy with us this June!

Both of my parents worked, so it was my way of helping around the house by making dinner for my family. I fell in love with it.

5 Sweet & Fluffy Banana Pudding Facts

1. Airborne dessert

   Georgia band Southern Culture On the Skids used to throw banana pudding at their live audience during their suitably named song "Banana Puddin."

2. A jarring way to serve

   In the Southern U.S., restaurants traditionally serve banana pudding in mason jars.

3. Banana battle

   Judges at the annual National Banana Pudding Cook-Off rate puddings based on use of basic ingredients, appetizing appearance, texture, color, aroma, taste, and ease of preparation.

4. Pudding sans pudding

   Influential Boston cooking teacher Mary J. Lincoln made banana pudding without pudding — just layers of sliced bananas sprinkled with sugar and lemon juice, baked and topped with meringue.

5. The versatile pudding

   Banana pudding can be chilled, baked or even molded.

Created by the Rodgers’ Pudding company in Chesapeake, Virginia, Banana Pudding Lovers Month gives all of us an opportunity to pay tribute to the only pudding flavor that can give plain ol’ chocolate a run for its money. Besides being tasty and satisfying, banana pudding has a surprisingly rich history in this country — and enough fans to support an annual two-day National Banana Pudding Festival and Cook-Off. So as you ramp up to Thanksgiving, treat yourself throughout November to this delectable dish.
