Candy Buttons, 1lb Bag of Buttons by Necco

This candy takes me back 60 years and brings a smile. My grand-kids enjoy them also.

I ate a lot of Candy Buttons as a child. I purchased these for a candy buffet for my granddaughter's 17th birthday party. I thought they would be a fun addition ~ which they were. There's about 100 strips in the 1 pound bag, so plenty for my purpose. They arrived in perfect condition and tasted just how I remember. I must be getting old, though, because the teenagers didn't know what they were! Even some of the Generation X adults present at the party didn't know what they were! I was happy to introduce them to candy buttons and they all loved them! They were a hit!

I've bought these 3 times in the last few months. The first two were perfect, exactly what the classic candy buttons I used to have and love as a kid, this last time I bought them and received them a few days ago, they were completely different. Disgusting. NOT the ones I got before and the ones I was expecting. Totally different flavor, color, packaging, everything. SO HORRIBLY DISAPPOINTED THAT I CANT RETURN OR GET MONEY BACK. These aren't what I wanted or what I received in the recent past. They're really disgusting, they're just trash now and I cant get money back or get what I actually ordered/wanted sent to me instead? SO DISAPPOINTED.

This product was all I'd hoped for, and delivered quickly and in perfect condition. I ordered the candy to give to our customers as a kind of celebration of Christmas as it was when we were young. The candy was a huge success, tasted great and has given us an idea to help give our visitors a little thank you for coming into our gallery. It was a really fun idea that we will pursue further and will be certainly ordering more from this company. Thanks for helping us to have an unexpectedly delightful holiday experience!

One pound is 32 strips. Seems a bit pricey, was expecting more for $24. Considering I can go to 5 below and get 50 strips for $25.

I was worried about the price and quantity of these when reading the description. I mean who really knows how many candy buttons makes 1lb?! You get a lot of buttons with this order. They all arrived in one sealed bag and there are a lot of strips of buttons! I just needed them for cake decoration and couldn't find them locally so I had to order from Amazon. Good amount but I still think they were a bit expensive. I guess I'll use the rest for birthday goody bags.

These are the old fashioned candy buttons and they are amazing. The Necco packaged candy buttons changed their flavors about a year ago or so but these are the original flavor! Thank you!

Harkening back to my childhood in the 60's when these sold for a penny a foot, these were a big hit with my teenage grandchildren, who never outgrow treats, or the visions of "sugarplums". These "modern" sugarplums" were a big hit in the stockings this year. How great to find these and other nostalgic candies on Amazon at reasonable prices.
