The First State Candy of Pennsylvania is Revealed!
This is fun! Not only because it’s candy, but also because who doesn’t love to see students getting involve.
Students from Bucks County, are advocating for Hershey’s Kisses to become Pennsylvania’s first state candy. Legislation, originally written by the students, received approval last week from Senate’s State Government Committee.
Democratic Sen. Maria Collett, who represents parts of Bucks and Montgomery counties in Harrisburg, is a co-sponsor of the bill.
“Hershey’s Kisses have become an iconic candy not only in Pennsylvania, but around the world, and their production has a profound impact on the commonwealth’s economy – from our dairy industry to manufacturing to retail,” Collett said. “It’s only fitting that this sweet treat becomes our official state candy.”
