**This giveaway is now CLOSED**
Are you in the Utah County area (Utah)? Have you heard of the awesome vintage Toy and Candy store Blickenstaff’s?
My family and I were recently invited to come and visit Blickenstaff’s and take a look at all the fun things they have to offer. My kids loved the candy wall…Who wouldn’t?
They had a lot of the vintage candy that I remembered from my childhood…like Razzles gum, zotz and Abba Zabba’s, giant sweet tarts, and marathon bars…remember those? My mom used let my siblings and I walk 2 miles down to the Drug Store which had a nickel, dime and penny candy section where we would spend a dollar and get a bag full of goodies. We would also get a 10 cent cherry coke from the fountain with a cherry in it. Then walk all the way back home. Seeing Blickenstaff’s candy section made me think about that.
They had all sorts of great toys, games and gift ideas. There were a lot of the harder to find items too. Fun and unique items that you don’t normally see in your Target, Wal-Mart, etc.
They had these fun Plasma Cars, bikes and some scooters that you could ride throughout the store. My kids LOVED that!
Blickenstaff’s also has a fun game section that had a lot of the popular award winning games. There were several games that I saw that I would have loved to add to our growing game collection.
So if you are in the Utah County area, make sure you go and check out Blickenstaff’s. We spent a good hour in there and the kids had a blast. They also have a fun little treasure hunt you can go on in the store, that my kids had fun doing. I love that the store lets you get hands on with everything. So if you are in the area, be sure to check them out!
But, that is not all! Blickenstaff’s wanted to show their appreciation to The Idea Room and so they are offering a fun little giveaway for this basket of lovelies!! Even if you are not in the Utah area, you can still enter to win. They will ship it anywhere in the US to the winner (minus the basket due to shipping costs).

What an AWESOME store!! Picking a favorite candy is hard… hmmm, maybe smarties… I still like those! :)
Necco's and Charleston Chews! Such a fun giveaway!
What a delicious place to visit!
My favoite candy growing up were Sixlets and Charleston Chew Vanilla (but it had to be frozen!)
So much fun!
Boston Baked Beans.
nomnomnom!
I've always loved Smartie's….still eat them!
Abbazabba's and candy cigarettes!! =)
I love candy!! I agree with CaryManda–I love those Boston Baked Beans!
My favorite candy as a child (and adult!) are Tootsie Rolls!
I have been wondering where I could find my favorite strawberry licorice rolls that are included in the basket giveaway! I'll be visiting UT in a couple of months and will have to stop in at Blickenstaff's.
Now that…sounds like my kind of store!!
My favorite were the Giant Smarties!! Oh my goodness, decliciousness sugary greatness!!
Those Charleston Chews have always been one of my favorites!
So hard to pick a favorite. I do remember buying those pop rocks a lot as a kid. I don't think I could eat them now.
Mmm, so yummy. I have to say the chocolate charleston chews are my fav, they are so delicious. I still buy them every now and then.
I still eat tootsie rolls too, classic.
yum! I love chic-0-sticks!
MHMMM I love Charleston chews.
Necco's were my favorite!
[email protected]
Necco's (I always ate the chocolate ones first) and Boston Baked Beans!
Awesome giveaway! Love Boston Baked Beans. What a fun store, I will have to check it out next time I'm in Provo.
How fun! One of my favorites was button candy.
Charleston Chews for sure! We used to freeze them on a hot summer day and then crack them into bite size pieces. Then we would eat the little frozen pieces of heaven!!
How fun! I love poprocks, those were THE coolest candy when I was young ;)
[email protected]
Smarties … YUMMMM!
what a cool place!!! I remember as a kid walking to the corner market with one of those old glass pepsi or coke bottles….you could take it in for a refund. Well the sweet lady at our store would give me a huge bag of candy instead of the nickel or whatever the rate was then….and it was seriously a big bag of candy!!! I rememberf the chicostix and my favs were bullseyes!!!! Caramels with some sort of cream filling and they looked like a bullseye :) Thanks for such a fun giveaway and a walk down memory lane today :)
I always liked those lemon hard candies with the sugar on them!
I don't think the candies I grew up with are considered vintage. I've always enjoyed a good now and later or fun dip. But the most "fun" candies were the ones you could buy from the ice cream truck like pelon pelo rico (i live in los angeles… Is it a regional candy??)
What a fun store!
Let's see, I remember liking candy cigarettes (still can't believe they made those!), Fun Dip and Pop Rocks!
We are going down there to visit in a couple of weeks…I am excited to take my kids there. My favorite candy was Zotz…..my brothers and I loved them.
Charleston Chews were definitely my favorite! Chocolate all the way :)
I love Charleston chews to this day. I'm actually in the utah county area and hadn't heard of Blickenstaff's. My kids would love it, I'll have to check it out!
Chick o stick is still a favorite of mine! Yum!
we love the game "ticket to ride". guests always think it's so fun. i recommend it as a list topper for future games….
Sounds like a fun place! One candy bar that I miss is one I had in South Africa called P.S. I love you. They are these delicious wafer candy bars with caramel nougat stuff in-between, covered in white chocolate. So delicious!
Oh the pregnant lady in me is screaming "gimme, gimme, GIMME!!" I am a peanut butter and chocolate gal- oh how I love my peanut butter cups! Once in a while I have a great urge for a cow tail too!
[email protected]
I've always loved red licorice.
Oh, I WISH I lived closer to this place! Sounds like perfection :)
I'm a sucker for candy! I used to love Candy Dots (except when you got the paper stuck to it!) and Lick & Sticks!
I loved Pop Rocks and Fire Balls! mmm…I haven't had a fire ball in a long time! What a cool store!
[email protected]
fun! i would have to say lemon heads…yummy!
Boston Baked beans, have not seen them in forever,would love to vist this store.
What a great post and I love the photos of the candy. My favorite candy? That is a hard question, but I love Abba Zabba, Whoopers and now 3 Muskateers. With my diet I can't eat very much candy. I would love to win for my lesson on "Agency" next month.
i loved the big laffy taffy bars, especially the ones with sprinkles coating the front.
My husband and I love to take our kids to "penny candy" stores. There is a great one in Cedarburg Wi that we visit every time we are there.
When I was little my mom got gas every week from Unichecks. My brothers and I each got a nickle to get a little brown bag full of candy in the store from Mrs. Unicheck.

My favorites growing up were sixlets,Charleston chews and pop rocks!
My favorite was the chocoate flavored neccos. I could eat them all day
We will have to go there! I love vanilla Charleston Chews!
Mmmmm I used to love the super sour gums. Now I wonder how I ever handled them. Next time I am in that area I will have to visit.
Ahhh the Charleston Chew. My brother, sister, and I used to always pick that because it was by far the biggest on the shelf. We would always take them home and freeze them before we ate them. Looks like a great basket – would love to have my kids test some vintage candy!
I didn't get a lot of candy growing up, but every once in a while would get those Root Beer Barrels and Butterscoth candies, so I savored them.
How about a good, chewy, slap stick!! Loved the stretchy caramel on a stick!
flying saucers…at least I think that is what they were called.
They were wafers in the shape of a saucer and inside there were little sprinkle-like candies
I am loving this store, wish I lived in Utah:) I love MaryJanes!
I took my husband on a date there. I'm pretty sure my 3 boys would wreck the place. I don't know if it is "vintage" but I grew up loving sour cherry balls. I can't find any good ones these days. so sad.
I like the U-NO bars, and the chico sticks.
Wow, I wish we had a store like this where we live. One of my all-time favorite candy is Charleston Chews, straight out of the freezer. Sheesh, I'm lucky to still have all my teeth!
What a cool store! Wish I still lived in Utah so I could go check it out. When I was a kid I loved Neccos but now I kind of don't like them. [email protected]
What an AWESOME store!! I am going to have to visit! Thinking of vintage candy, I would have to say Necco's and a Marathon Bar. Loved those.
What a wonderland! Yikes, very easy to get into trouble there! I loved Chick O Sticks (why do I remember them being called "chicken bones"?)and Boston Baked Beans. Still like those.
This looks awesome!! I loved penny candy swedish fish and the little boxes of jawbreakers, lemonheads, grapeheads, etc! Thanks for the post!
I didn't have a favorite but my husbands were the Charleston chews!
I love that store, and so do my kids! Chico-sticks are my favorite.
Mine were always Vanilla Charleston Chews in the freezer and Big Hunk candy bars soft and gooey in the microwave.
I love the retro candies! Frozen Charleston Chews are the best!
I was a big fan of Chic-o-sticks. Not sure if that is how you spell it but I loved them!
We used to love candy cigarettes where you would blow out "smoke" and thought we were SO grown-up…my parents smoked, so we thought these were cool…something my children will never get…
We also LOVED jolly rancher sticks…they were about 5 inches long or so an inch or so wide and very thin…we used to buy several of these before school in the am and trade them later in the day…I wish they still make them.
The last thing I can remember were Flicks (I can't remember if that was the right name or not) but they were like giant chocolate chips in a cardboard like tube…
I used to love to go to the penny candy store during Elementary school lunch hour and get a Chick O Stick or sixlets.
love the store! Clove gum can't be beat.
I always loved Pop Rocks and Boston Baked Beans.
Putting Blickenstaff's on our Saturday to-do list with the kids. I think they'll have a blast.
Wow, does that place look like a lot of fun! My favorite candy from when I was a kid is Willy Wonka's Everlasting Gobstoppers. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

Gotta love the neccos :)
What a cute store! My fav were Pop Rocks!
My favorite vintage candy was Sixlets and chewy sweet tarts! I'd always get those huge sweet tarts at the skating rink when I was a kid :)
My favorite was the Charleston Chew and have recently introduced them to my kids. They are a hit!
I love the Charleston Chews!! Hope I win.
We just moved out of Utah County. I wish I would have known about this when I was there! I used to loved the Root Beer Barrels and Neccos. [email protected]
there was an old fashioned soda shoppe where I grew up too! I always got rock candy or rootbeer barrels. I also loved the vanilla sodapop! thanks for the trip down memory lane!
That looks like a super fun store!! My brother and sisters and I would always look forward to the Charelston Chews my dad brought home to us on the weekends….they were one of my favorite childhood treats (along with Lemon Heads and Boston Baked Beans). I will have to check out Blickenstaff’s next time I go and visit my mother-in-law in Utah county. Thanks for sharing!!
I used to love going to my grandma's house to get black jack gum, it will always remind me of her
I still love Vanilla Charleston Chews. When I find them, I buy a bunch and stick them in the freezer. Yum!
Charleston Chew was definitely my favorite as a kid!
my grandma use to always bring me a watchmacalit candy bar. Sometimes you can find them in the store but not always and whenever I see one I have to buy it just for the memories.
My Grandpa used to have those powder-covered hard candies in a tin. I remember some 40 years ago waiting for him to bring out that tin!
Who doesn't love candy. Yum! I loved burnt peanuts as a kid and boston baked beans.
AbbaZabba, Big Hunk, and Hot Tamales. I love this store by the way.
Oh boy, I still remember going to Scera Theater in Orem and always getting those Boston Baked Beans. yum!
I used to love candy cigarettes and now and laters. What a trip down memory lane, great giveaway!!
Mmm! I liked (and still do) fun dip, pop rocks, and bottle caps. I'm a sucker for anything sweet though!
What a perfect store!!! I love store like that, I sooo wish we had one close, but once we start traveling to visit family, this will be on our list to stop.
I LOVE candy buttons. My grandfather would always have some of us kids when we would come and visit. The sweet memories we have of him, is awesome :)
Smarties are my weakness. love them! and now I must go to this store… it looks like my kind of place!
I loved Bottle Caps when I was little and I still love them today!
This post brought back a lot of memories!
LOVE Charleston Chew, Big Hunk, and Chick-o-stick!
I love three things:
Sour Straws
Sprees (not the chewy ones, the old ones, break your teeth hard)
Necco waffers.
And for some odd reason war heads just popped in..
I love candy. that's a dream store!
Great giveaway!
Chick-O-Sticks, Bit O Honey, LemonHeads, are the first 3 I remember as a kid picking up at the gas station down the street.
I loved Chick-o-Sticks.
I LOVED Penny Candies. Basically anything gummy with the sour powder on it. Big Hunks were a close second.
MMMM… sounds good- my favorite candy is taffy!
Razzles and Delfa Rolls are my all-time favorite treat!! Gotta love em!
Never have before but now I wish I lived in Utah! What an amazing store!! I'd be broke when we came out though with 4 kids..ha! My favorite candy growing up were Sixlets and Zero bars. I still love those even today.

Oooh! We had a sweet shoppe themed b-day party for our daughter last year….wish we had a Blickenstaff's close by!
I love love love candy probably too much to name a favorite…loved Sixlets, caramel creams, Wonka Wacky Wafers (don't make them anymore!)….I could go on and on and on! :)
I am in awe of that store, it looks amazing. I remeber putting Charleston Chews in the freezer during the summer time and then eating them after I came in from a long day of play. :)
I may be a bit older because we always loved those Lipstick candies. You could make your lips red, and then eat them. Always liked slap sticks too.
Kellie

I love Charleston Chews and Bit-O-Honeys (both of which you can still find, but they're vintage, right?).
Abba Zabba's are my favorite! That store looks so cool! Wish I lived in Utah. :(

mychancetowin at gmail dot com
I love this store! I'm almost always more amused with their selection of toys than the kids are. Growing up, I remember loving cow tails. They're still around, but they're certainly a classic!

What a fun store! I think I would have to choose smarties. I used to love to sort them into their different colors!
I would have to say Big Hunk just love the white who knows what with peanuts.
Oh boy. I'm a candy-o-holic, but there's a special spot in my heart, er mouth, for Clove Gum — not my era, but my parents! But I'll eat nearly anything!
I used to LOVE Charlston chews! I haven't had one it years though. Mmmm…
Abba zabba! Wish I lived in Utah!
Slap Stix! I used to buy them from Big E or King's in Blackfoot, Idaho or Payne's in Rockford, Idaho. Chewy caramel surrounding different flavors of nougat in a swirled pattern on a stick. Delicious!

My favorite was Atkinson's Peanut Butter Bars!

I laughed when I saw my twin sister said Boston Baked Beans, because that was what I was going to say! She beat me to it!
loved so many of the vintage candies… wax bottles with juice inside, charleston chew – the chocolate variety, candy buttons, fizzles, however, perhaps the pixie sticks were my favorite! LOVE this store concept.

I loved fun dip and pop rocks!!!
I loved Popeye cigarette candies! So funny because as an adult I hate the smell of cigarette smoke!
[email protected]
I love the original charleston chew. Used to freeze them so they took longer to eat!
My favorite were Sixlets! I wonder if they still make them…lauwil07 at gmail dot com.
Charleston Chew! I discovered it when I was a little older of a child, but man, those things are delicious! So chewy!
LOVE this store! Favorite candy…gosh…when I saw Zotz I was taken back to my childhood! Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
What a great store! Wish Seattle area had one. I recently bought my daughter some Zots and I swear I ate more than she did. Even hid some in my bedroom, just for me!
I love vintage candy! I seriously couldn't tell you my favorite candy because I love it in general. That store looks like so much fun…a kids paradise, and mine.
This store is making my mouth water! It's so hard to choose just one! Taffy brings back good memories though, and is such a fun old fashioned treat!
I would be in heaven in that store! I wish I lived in Utah!!! My favorite candy, although it's not vintage, just hard to find, is Caramelo….YUM!
Frozen Charleston Chews (then smack them on the counter to break them up to eat! Boston Baked Beans are another favorite!
i liked boston baked beans & candy cigarettes
i was going to just put "goetze" candies but then i saw a comment that said "candy cigarettes" and i remembered those too!!
Zotz……yummy!!!
I LOVED these charms big mouth lollipops when I was a kid. they were chalky and delicious and had gum in the middle. I wish they had not taken them away…
Love Razzles! Is it candy? Is it gum? :)
So I don't know if my sentimental candy is that old. I used to love that bubblegum in the chew packets. Also they had these 2 tone suckers that we just called "ballpark suckers" because that's where we always back them. That brings me back to my childhood.
(I would love to win a giveaway!)
I loved fun dips. now i can't stand them. Thanks
I loved Bonkers.
I need to venture there for sure!! my favorite candy from growing up would have to be Sixlets. They are still my favotite
I loved Charleston Chews. And although I still think they are yummy, I think I picked them as a kid because they were BIG!
Seriously, I LOVED the candy cigarettes! I could always have them at my Grandma's after walking to 7-Eleven!
Mmm Grape Bubbletape!
Cute store! Pop rocks bring back some good memories from the childhood.
Great store… Charleston chews and lemonheads… Yum.. Makes me feel young! Great giveaway!
My favorite is Charleston Chews! I will have to take my Nephews to Blickenstaff's when I visit them in Utah this ummer!
My favorite "vintage" candy is the Cookies and Cream Twix that was available for a short time in the early 90's. I wish they still made them! I have even written the company to beg them to manufacture them again. :)
That looks like a fun store! I will have to go check it out next time I am down that way. I loved the Big Chew bubble gum!
That is such a great store! I wish I still lived in Utah just so I could visit it. I have 2 favorite vintage candies. First, I LOVE Charleston Chews. They remind me of my 4th grade teacher because on our birthday we got to choose our favorite candy. EVERYONE in the class always chose Charleston Chew. And EVERYONE froze it! It's so yummy!
Then I also love Boston Baked Beans because I grew up just 20 minutes from Boston. I thought it was so cool to have a candy named after the city I lived near.
I loved Pop Rocks as a kid and would go to the candy store at my Grandparents during the summer…They were so cheap back then!
When I was a kid, I would dream I was in a candy store and could have whatever I wanted. Maybe I still have that dream once in a while! : ) My favorites as a kid were lemon drops and cinnamon bears. Yum!
It's too bad I live no where near Utah. That store looks great!
Oh, but a candy giveaway? Fun… Can't pass that up. :)
How fun!! I STILL love Charleston Chews-mmmm! And Smarties and Necco wafers and this gum that had pink and red retro packaging but I forget the name. Clearly I have a sweet tooth!
Chic-O-Sticks and Necco's. Yum. I still eat those today. We love Blinkenstaffs. We visit way too much.
[email protected]
This is one of my Favorite Stores!! Charlston Chews were and still are a favorite of mine!!
I like dip sticks. is that vintage yet??
Oh I love Sixlets and Charleston Chew!!
What a neat store, I wish we had one near by! I loved Tart n Tinys when I was little but I hear they don't make them anymore.
My favorite childhood candy are Lemon Heads. I remember buying them from the ice Cream truck for a quarter when I was a kid. What a FUN giveaway!
I loved Charleston Chews. Those are the best. I'm gonna have to take a trip to visit that store…I'll be sure to bring some $$ with me because I'm sure I'm gonna go on a shopping spree.
That store looks SO fun! I wish we had something like that in my area.
I love Charleston Chew–the vanilla flavor. Mmmm!!
~ Sarah
What a fun place. I have always loved abba zabbas and razzles. Would love a fun basket!
I love lemon heads!!
sounds like a store we will have to visit when we are in town! As for my favorite candy, ummmmm, there are so many! Red Licorice has to be a close tie with cinnamon toothpicks!

Chocolate. Need I say more!
Sour Patch Watermelons. I eat a bag a day!
When I was a kid, my fave candies were all the different flavored Tootsie Midgies. My fave is still the vanilla. Saw a bag of them at Target and it only took me 3 days to eat the whole bag. =(
whatchamakalit (spelling?) candy bar. Is that vingtage? It was my favorite. I haven't had one in years.
neat! i love love love boston baked beans!!
nelly dot barney at yahoo dot com
I would spend way too much time and money in a place like that. It's like they crawled into my brain (there's a creepy thought) and designed a store just for me. I don't know if my candy is vintage, exactly but we loved warheads-the sour ones-and super lemons. I think I'm too much of a ninny to eat one of them now, but I could eat those without even blinking as a child. Those were the days…
It's a tossup between Chick-O-Sticks and Pot O Gold. I guess I liked Irish sounding candy!
I'm so going to visit that store the next time we visit the area. (Family lives in Spanish Fork.) My favorite candy from childhood that I can no longer find is Chic-O-Sticks. YUMMO!!
I loved Chick-O-Stick candy.
What a fun store!! I loved Lemonheads and Sour Apple or Watermelon Jolly Ranchers..
nettecan at hotmail dot com
I remember neccos – such good memories of the old time candy stores.
What fun!! Chewy Sweet tarts and a Mallo Cup were my favs! What a great store!
Zotz and candy cigarettes!!!
I remember going to the penny candy store and buying a pocketful of red (cinnamon ) gummy nickels. Mmm, loved those things!
Boston Baked Beans and Peeps!
Red hot dollars were my favorite! I could only buy them at the concession stand at my brother's baseball games. They were sweet, not hot, and only cost a penny.
Oh, it has to be the Big Hunk bar! I haven't seen them in years! What I wouldn't give to taste them again.
My sister in law( who lives in Utah) just shared your site with me! Going to try some of your great ideas with my kids! My favorite candy as a kid would have to have been Neco's.
What a fun store! I loved Cherry Mash and candy cigarettes which would be 'outlawed' and totally inappropriate for my own children :)
Oh, Strawberry Charleston Chew, how I love you. That means a lot coming from a chocolate fiend.
that is amazing!!!!!!! I love Violets by CHowards :)
Bottle caps. Is that the right name? Having a senior moment. Do you remember that Pop Shop Soda?
I don't know if they still make them, but I loved 5th Avenues when I was a kid! :)
Charleston chew are awesome! I used to walk down the street with a quarter and come home with five little chews. Amazing! Fun looking store I will have to check it out!
I loved Charleston Chews as a kid and I love them still. They are one of the few nut free treats that my son can eat, too! I am wishing I was in Utah to visit this store!
Cool store, I loved Fun Dips, I remember eating them at my brother's football games.
Yum!!! We will have to make a trip down to Provo for sure!
My favorite candy from back in the days was Zots for sure!
I can't wait until the next time in Provo so I can check out that store! My kids will go crazy with excitement!!!
I saw some Boston Baked Beans in the basket and that brought back SO many memories of my childhood. I haven't had those in years!!!
chick-o-sticks!!! the best!
Mmmm… BB Bats in Banana… that's my fave retro candy!! This is a fun giveaway!

What a fun store! I hate to admit this (especially since I don't smoke) but as a child it was a real treat to buy those candy cigarettes. Also baseball cards with bubblegum in them and Hershey bars.
I love Charleston Chews.
Pez. The little dispenser. THe fun of loading all the candy and seeing how long it took you to reach the very last one. I especially remember my Charlie Brown Pez.
I can think of a couple but, right now the one I'm thinking of is the Chick-o-Stick. My Pap-pa would bring those to my brother and I on a regular basis. That makes them even sweeter, now!
Don't know that it's really "vintage", but Nerds came out when I was in about Kindergarten and I LOVED them! So sour and sweet. I also really liked Rolos.
What a fun place to visit! Still like tootsie roll.
I'm a huge fan of RAZZLES!!! YUMMO!
I love the pics- that place looks wicked fun!

What a treasure – can't wait to go in person! Pop Rocks were by far my favorite! I was so in awe at how they popped in my mouth. :)
Lemon Heads for sure. I still feel like a kid whenever I see them. What a fun giveaway!

Abba Zabbas are definitely my favorite!
We used to go to the Mini Mart and get gumballs in a strawberry shape…they even came in a green plastic crate!

We will be making a stop there on our next trip. Abba Zabba is our favorite. Or whatchamacallit.
I loved candies called Bonkers. I have not been able to find them in years! They were kind of chewy like a fruit snack. Man were they good.

Idk if they are vintage but I loved rollos! YUMMY! All that candy looks soo good. Usually I wouldn't post but this baby loves her candy. She makes me eat it all the time. and I love her for it! oh the joys of pregnancy =]
My favorite candy growing up was hands down Aba Zaba. Loved that stuff. I haven't seen one in stores in a really long time. We will have to check this fun store out next time we head back to Utah County to visit.
We had a candy store down the street from our house growning up. We loved to go and get candy. I loved Sugar Daddy Suckers. I lost three molers in one day with one of those :)

Charleston Chews all the way. I didn't realize they were a vintage candy–LOVE THEM!
