What goes into a box of See's Candies?

My mom worked at the See’s factory in the Bay Area for many years. I’m 68 now, so those memories of her coming home in her white dress ( and occasional free rejects!) are so priceless to me now.

The best thing about Sees is that they have never ever changed the formula. It as delicious as the chocolate was I 1970's when I first had a bite. Divine candy.

[@virtues2760]

Natural flavor was created in 2009. That and other additives, including the preservative sodium benzoate, are in See’s candies now that weren’t there originally.

@Kay D. Same with me. Spent my life in nursing in Nevada…nurses were ALWAYS soooo happy when patients would bring in See’s. I’m so addicted even now. I can still open a box and “identify” what each piece has inside . My daughter (bless her) still sends me See’s candy a few times a year. I live in Vermont, now…no See’s stores close by (which might be a blessing 😉)

[@Wa3ypx]

Hi Kay, Can you eat the whole box in one sitting? I knew a lady who could do this. 5 lbs would last about a week tops.

[@Jeannified]

I work in healthcare and was a recipient of See's generosity last spring, before Easter, when they so kindly gave their candy away. I was able to share it with my family, who were also very grateful. Thank you, See's! My family's favorite chocolate!

Born and raised in California and See's candies is part of our lives here. They are part of every major holiday. Valentine's, Easter, 4th of July, my birthday, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas! The great news for those that don't have a See's is they recently revamped their online shop and ship to other states and internationally through their service specialists. I cannot imagine life without See's.

[@tracytrebilcox]

My grandfather in the last couple of years of his life, only wanted a box of Sees Chocolates for Christmas. He ended up with about 50 pounds worth each year. Didn't have a weight problem (if anything, he needed to gain weight), and he was never happier than when he'd watch a ball game and munch on chocolate.

[@christinemeleg4535]

Our Mother went to the See's plant on La Cienaga Blvd. in Los Angeles decades ago. They sold extra, cleaned walnuts that Mom and Grandma baked with for the holidays. I remember the beautiful white walled store and the sample the kind ladies gave out. Mom would buy some candy as well. When the Sees Candy plant closed because of the Pandemic it really brought home how terrible the Pandemic is, when it re- opened it was the lead story on the news here in Southern California. See''s Candy, always the finest!

There's a factory near where I live. Every year, without fail, starting after T-giving, they put up a huge inflatable Santa and reindeers + snow men + other winter-themed characters on the roof. The factory has a small store in it. [Also interesting that Buffet owns See's. I knew that already but not surprised. Buffet is a disciple of values investing and encourages people to invest in industries they have experiences with. So loving the chocolate, he probably looked into investing in them and found the numbers favorable.]

This video has brought back such fond memories of my childhood, growing up in L.A. Even now at 66 years old, I get so excited recalling as a kid the times my mom would take my brothers and I into a Sees candy store to buy a box of chocolates. Entering a Sees store, you could smell the wonderful aromas of chocolate candy, and just looking at the display and seeing the mesmerizing varieties of candies made my mouth drool! And the best part was knowing that the lady behind the counter would always give each of us a free sample of a Sees chocolate while we were deciding which assortment we wanted to include in our 1 or 2 lb box. Sees is the absolute best chocolate candy in the world!

One of my great joys upon moving back West after too many years back East was having See's candy. Growing up in Southern California we always had a box or two at Christmas.

[@howardkerr8174]

When I was transferred to California 40 years ago I started seeing these black and white checkerboard stores every now and then. I figured they were probably affiliated with Russell Stover as that company used white with a bit of black trim in their stores on the east coast. NOPE, See's, as I found out was to Russell Stover's as sirloin steak is to hamburger. My family developed a tradition where someone sent the rest of us boxes of See's, ALWAYS nuts and chews. The last few years See's has gotten progressively more expensive, and thanks to Covid-19, we have missed a few years. Luckily, I am retired Navy and the base exchange sells See's starting at Thanksgiving and lasting into the new year, at a nice discount. But have been too busy to get my 4-5 2 pound boxes this year. I hope to make it before January 1st.

Buffet says it's one of his best investments generating an 8000% return on investment since he initially bought them.

And once again, no idea how old that box is. See's is always a treat in our house, especially since we moved 18 years ago from CA to the Midwest with no shops. I have a few memories of going and Dad would always let us pick out a lollipop to take home. There are always cheers when a box of See's comes through our door, literally, we cheer. When My sister was Expecting her first child, in the 1st trimester, We sent her a box in celebration and her husband sent us a picture of her, packaging all around her, curled up on the couch with a look of pure bliss on her face with a chocolate in her mouth. Oddly one of the few things she could eat at the time come to find out. She was one happy Mama.
