I recently blogged about the potential demise of one of my favorite candies - Candy Raisins. Here's a response to my email from NECCO corporate in Massachusetts:
March 21, 2008
Dear Mr. Ircink:
The decision regarding the continuation or discontinuation of the Candy Raisin product has yet to be rendered. We certainly can understand the regional importance of the product and we are weighing every aspect of this decision. Since much of the concern stems from the recent announcement to close our Pewaukee plant, that does not necessarily mean we are not going to continue to produce the same products that they have been supplying, especially to the local market.
Several other people have also contacted us regarding this unfortunate closing and expressed their concern regarding the potential loss of Candy Raisins. I can assure you that we will give it every consideration as we move through this process.
Sincerely,
Theresa Denis

Do you remember the little candy raisin figures Grandma used to have sitting on her shelf in the kitchen? I played with those all the time as a we lad!
