History of National Candy Month
The National Confectioners Association established National Candy Month. The first time people celebrated National Candy Month was in January of 1974. But the celebration was moved to May when it was noticed that the sales of candies often drop drastically after busy holiday seasons. This is mainly due to the new year resolution people make to steer clear of sweets. Eventually, it now settled in its current place in the summer of June.
National Candy Month aims to celebrate the delicious confections that candy companies have produced for over 100 years. People also use this celebration to recognize the powerful economic impact of the candy industry.
Why We Love The National Candy Month
There are so many reasons why we love National Candy Month. Some of them include:

- It reminds us to stay balanced: We love candy and approve of indulging all our sweet cravings. However, this holiday also reminds us to know how much sugar we are eating. The National Confectioners Association has ensured all candies have accessible labeling where you can know the amount of sugar in each candy. During this holiday, also remember to indulge responsibly. Indulge all your cravings. But also know the amount of sugar you are consuming.
