Mootz Home Made Candies
September 22, 2001

The Sterns' latest candy discovery is Mootz Home Made Candies in Pottsville. There are many reasons to go to Mootz's, but Jane and Michael especially liked the Pennsylvania Coal Candy—licorice formed like lumps of coal and packaged in a box with a little aluminum hammer. The "boudoir confectionery" includes amusing chocolate renditions of 1950s beauty products like hairdryers, combs, and brushes, and the peanut rolls are formidable concoctions loaded with marshmallows, chocolate, and of course, peanuts.
