{"product_id":"9781467137959","title":"Cincinnati Candy: A Sweet History","description":"\u003cbr\u003eFor more than a century, Cincinnati's candy industry satisfied our national sweet tooth. Stick and drop candies appeared here long before their Civil War popularity. Opera creams, rich fondant-filled chocolate candy brought here by Robert Hiner Putman, provided decadence. Candy corn, which the Goelitz Company introduced to the United States before World War I, remains a ubiquitous treat. Marpro Products created and popularized the marshmallow cone candy. Doscher invented the French Chew and made caramel corn a baseball concession at Redland Field decades before Cracker Jack became synonymous with our national pastime. The city's many Greek and Macedonian immigrants influenced the unique Queen City tradition of finishing a Cincinnati-style \"threeway\" of spaghetti, chili and cheddar with a chocolate mint. Local food etymologist Dann Woellert tells these stories and more in this delectably sweet history.","brand":"History Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47048818131184,"sku":"9781467137959","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781467137959_p0.jpg?v=1763690410","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781467137959","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
