I know humbugs from living in Canada, a Laura Secord candy. I wasn’t allowed sweets, so my grandmother would slip them to me.

My ancestry is English, so I recognize the term “Humbug”. My Grandfathers place always had them around but to be honest they were never popular with me.

I think they still make Humbugs in the UK, but Laura Secord went out of business. I tried Googling around for them. It’s been decades since I had one – they were buttered rum I believe.

Humbug candy looks delicious! I don’t allow hard candy at our house; I have this irrational fear of choking on them. lol. But everything else is ok. 🙂
The humbug chicks are adorable.
