For all you candy lovers out there, this is the month to celebrate! June is National Candy Month, according to the National Confectioners Association. During National Candy Month, candy companies celebrate making exciting, authentic delights that they have been making for over a century.
This is a month to celebrate for many people, including those who enjoy chocolate, candies, gum, and mints, as well as others who recognize the significant economic benefits of a fun and responsible sector of a traditional American manufacturing success story.
The group claimed that “National Candy Month is a pivotal point in the treating calendar” for the $48 billion confectionery industry. It honors those who create America’s favorite confections and serves as a reminder that chocolate and candy make summertime activities—such as weekends, holidays, and vacations—sweeter.
According to the NCA, Americans consume candy and chocolate two to three times a week. Furthermore, 86% of travelers by car will pack chocolate and candies, 82% of family visitors will share delicacies, and 68% of beachgoers will bring their favorite treats with them.
Convenience stores have become the go-to destination for consumers seeking both traditional and innovative sweets, ever since the confectionery made its first appearance on their shelves.
John Downs, president and CEO of the NCA says, “As consumers savor the longer nights, warmer temperatures and relaxed schedules of the season, they will turn once again to chocolate and candy to enhance their favorite summer activities and commemorate cherished traditions.”
