I grew up in Ontario and remember going here with my Girl Scout troop! We were all so fascinated by the giant candy cane they had displayed on the wall.

I grew up in Ontario and Mr. Logan was my father’s friend. Logan’s Candy was located next to the Granada Theater on Euclid Ave. before moving to” B” street and I used to watch Mr. Logan make all kinds of candy from the window. Of course going inside and smelling all the yummy candy was also a treat. They were on “B” Street when I got married and he did the red and white mint patties for my reception.
My daughter and family went to see Jerry demonstrate candy cane making a couple years ago and we all would like to go this year. What other days is that happening besides Dec. 13th? Charlotte

I’m glad to hear that Logan’s is still crankin’ out the candy canes! Personally, however, I was more tempted by their fudge, picking some up on my many visits to the Village Model Shop across the street, riding my old Schwinn Orange Krate!

The Olympia Candy Kitchen in Goshen, IN is my favourite hometown holiday and everyday candy counter and soda fountain! About 40 miles East of South Bend – if you are ever in the area you will not want to miss it. We used to go by their back window and see the man making the hand dipped chocolates – just like in the painting on the website. Check out their menu – the nut olive sandwich is special. Valentine’s Day always included a giant, pink solid chocolate heart from Dad, and Christmas always included some giant Candy Canes, in a variety of flavors!

McCord Candies in my hometown of Lafayette, IN, has been making yummy candy canes by hand forever. They have an old fashioned soda fountain as well.

Don’t miss Logan’s ribbon candy, either! It’s beautiful and tasty — a perfect little hostess gift to bring with you on those holiday visits!

Very cool. I often wondered how candy canes were made.
