    Are you familiar with the "I Love Lucy" classic sitcom? There was an episode where the characters Lucy and Ethel went to work in a candy factory, and all sorts of mayhem ensued. Lucille Ball, who played Lucy, and Vivian Vance who played Ethel, actually trained at the See's factory in Los Angeles to get experience for the episode. The chocolate dipping lady, played by Amanda Millican in the episode actually worked at See's.

    I had a dear, dear friend that used to love the butterscotch lollipops. We would get them at the mall during Christmas shopping. She has since passed away, but this video made me think of her and smile. Thank you for the memory!

    Fun Fact: My friend lives in Mary Sees house in San Luis Obispo, CA. Unfortunately, the house has since been remodeled, but we used to sit in the kitchen before the remodel and wonder how much candy was made in there.

    When I was little, my Grandma always came to visit for Christmas and she always came with two boxes of See's Candies. Once my Siblings and I were older, she started to visit our Cousins for Christmas (since the two of them were still just kids). During those last couple of years, she would send See's Gift Vouchers to my Mom... One day, about a year and a half after my Grandma passed away, I found my Mom sitting on the foot of her bed crying. I asked what happened, but she said she was fine, before getting up to finish folding laundry. The next day I heard her talking with my Dad about how she had found the See's Vouchers at the back of her sock drawer, after she thought she had thrown them away on accident. She told him that she wasn't sure if she should use them or keep them... A little over a month later she came home with two Boxes of See's candies. We were all aloud one chocolate a night until they were gone. I swear, See's Chocolate never lasted so long in our house, but it was so worth it. *

    Husband was playing "guess that candy" and could name almost all of them before you cut them open. Each one has a different pattern or swirl on the top to tell them apart so though they may look a similar size or shape Sees employees can tell the candies apart just by looking at the pattern on top. We kept waiting for my absolute favorite "Butterscotch Squares" as we saw one when you opened the box... you finally found it @15:30 when you both melted and you did that swirl effect on the video. The soft , brown-sugary one. it is the favourite of all our family. I am blessed with a box of Butterscotch squares on each holiday as a gift from my husband (he spoils me so) See's used to be only available in Southern California and while there are a few stores in some of the other western states, the majority of stores are in California so you will have to visit the Los Angeles or San Francisco areas to easily find a store.. They have not changed the branding since it was opened in 1921. The classic black & white checkerboard and having your box hand packed and wrapped in paper is their signature. Go on their website and find their timeline. It is a fun read.

    The dark filled one with sprinkles is the Bordeaux. At Easter they make a 6oz Easter egg solid Bordeaux. I used to get one in my basket every year. See's also makes a chocolate covered marzipan that is to die for. The toffee is great, and they make something called maple sticks. Thin crunchy maple sheets covered in chocolate. The lollipops are amazing 4 times a year they do special flavors. Orange/vanilla, orange/chocolate, coffee cream, cherry cream and caramel apple. So delicious.

The store’s also always gives out samples of full price’s of chocolate when you come in to buy a box of candy. And during Christmas the boxes are wrapped in Christmas paper. You can also make your own boxes and pick out you favorite candy’s. Can’t say enough about this wonderful company. Yummy 😋!

    The round milk chocolate one with chocolate sprinkles is Bordeaux, it's my absolute favorite and the only candy I request every year for Mother's Day and Christmas. I also make it at home.
    1 cup Brown Sugar
    1/2 cup Butter
    1/4 cup heavy Whipping cream
    1/2 tsp. Instant coffee crystals, crushed
    1 pinch Salt
    2 cup sifted Powder sugar
    Melt brown sugar and butter in a heavy sauce pan, bring to a boil for 2 minutes.
    Sir in cream, coffee and salt, bring to a boil stirring constantly for 30 seconds and remove from heat. let cool 10 minutes
    Add powder sugar and stir well. Chill until the mixture holds its shape when rolled into 1/2 inch balls.
    To cover the candy:
    12 oz package Milk chocolate chips ( or Dark chocolate or Semi Sweet)
    2 Tbl. Crisco shortening
    Melt together in a double boiler.
    Skewer a candy ball with a toothpick and pour chocolate over the candy using a spoon, lift out and
    set on wax paper, if you have 'sprinkles' add them now.
    Tips:
    If the chocolate does not stick well to the candy balls it's probably because the balls are too cold, just let them warm up slightly.
    For the double boiler, I just use a sauce pan and a heat proof glass bowl that can sit half in, half out of the water.
    If water does get into the chocolate, it will 'seize up'. Just mix a little more shortening into the chocolate.

    You HAVE to try their peanut brittle if you like that kind of thing- best EVER! We get a custom box of chocolates every Christmas along with peanut brittle- its a family tradition. It is impossible to pick a favorite LOL! But I think the caramels are up there. I think you can only find them on the West Coast- its a California company. We live on the East Coast and have to order them.

    Oh my gosh, this was delightful! Such fun watching someone try something for the first time, when you already know how good it is. When I was a little girl, back in the sixties, we would visit my grandmother in Ventura, California during the holidays, and she always had a box of See’s. We were allowed to choose one and it was hard because we didn’t know what was inside, but always a special treat. Years later, after I got a real job, one Christmas I bought a box and took a little bite out of each candy just because I could, lol. Do visit a shop on your next visit, you’ll love it! And they give you a free sample😉

    The thin long ones you first tried are molasses chips, you can buy a whole box of those, which I always do at Christmas. However my favorite is not in your box, and it is not chocolate, it’s the scotch kiss. Chewy butterscotch wrapped around marshmallow. Omg, they are divine. The lollipops remind me of Easter. My mom would every get every flavor, wrap them with a colorful bow, and put them in our Easter Baskets. Sees candy, brings back so many lovely family memories.❤️

    I received a book about See’s (Famous Old Time Candies) when we were invited to a couple of new store openings. And a LOT of free candy. There is a section about the customized Harley Davidson motorcycle like your model toy . In 1928 , a messenger in a snappy uniform would ring your doorbell with your candies in hand . The cute little cottage with lace curtains would turn heads as Hugh Fry would cruise down Pico or Santa Monica Blvd. And it looked impressive parked at the curb as Hugh strode to the door of a lucky starlet’s bungalow carrying a red velvet, heart shaped box of See’s homemade chocolates. 💝 It adds that when Charles See went to Europe to buy equipment, he saw deliveries made by motorcycles with sidecars . Also they said originally the bikes were Indians , not Harleys . I am so happy that you both got to try See’s !! 👑
