Since 2001, I designed, produced, managed and contributed to mostly food-related websites and blogs for KQED including: KQED.org; KQED Food; Bay Area Bites; Check, Please! Bay Area; Taste This; Celebrity Chefs; seven of Jacques Pepin's TV series websites; and Joanne Weir's Cooking in the City.

We're selling a lot,\" says Jon Prince, who runs the online retailer Candyfavorites.com. He says sales of NECCO wafers have spiked. One caller wanted to buy his whole inventory, but he is limiting the size of each sale. \"And the person actually started to cry and they said they couldn't imagine a world without their NECCO wafers,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NECCO traces its roots back to 1847, when the Chase brothers started making candy. It wasn't until a merger in 1901 that the firm officially became the New England Confectionary Co.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The famous wafers are memorialized by a small sculpture in a park in Cambridge, Mass., near where the company's factory once stood. The metal sculpture depicts a paper bag, with NECCO wafers spilling out of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/clemoult/status/984068787262623749\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kelly Haugh, who works in the building next to the sculpture, is a huge fan of the candy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My mother-in-law, like, probably three years ago, found out that I was obsessed with NECCO wafers and started just buying them for me,\" Haugh says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every Christmas, her stocking is full of them. \"So I think I liked them a whole lot more when I didn't have a cabinet full of them. But now I'm glad I have my stash,\" Haugh says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She realizes not everyone is a fan. Its flavor and texture can be pretty controversial. \"They're definitely not a normal thing for people to love. It's like people say they're chalky or whatever,\" Haugh says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But standing near the statue, Joey Barbosa tried them for the first time and had a more positive reaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mmmm. They're very good. Crunchy, tasty. Pretty much it,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another NECCO fan, Spencer Ordway, is hoarding wafers, but not because of their tasty crunch. He runs a sleepaway camp in Maine, and for more than 70 years, at an end-of-summer carnival, campers have used NECCO wafers as a currency to play games and buy prizes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I had so many alumni and current staff contacting me today saying, 'What are we going to do? How can we save enough NECCO wafers to, uh, cover us for years to come?' \" Ordway says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he went online and bought enough to keep the carnival funded for the next few years. And he says the camp's stash is safe, since he is not likely to be raiding it anytime soon. \"I mean, it is really like chewing on chalk.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, he is still hoping the company can pull through somehow, so NECCO wafers — and the company's other candies — will be available for generations to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2018 \u003ca href=\"http://www.wgbh.org/995/\">WGBH\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Rumors of the impending demise of NECCO have sparked a renewed interest in the company's products — especially its famous, eponymous, chalky wafers that some people love to hate.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1523494199,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":26,"wordCount":840},"headData":{"title":"NECCO-Mania: Fans Stock Up On Chalky Wafers In Case Candy Company Folds | KQED","description":"Rumors of the impending demise of NECCO have sparked a renewed interest in the company's products — especially its famous, eponymous, chalky wafers that some people love to hate.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":""},"disqusIdentifier":"126732 https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/?p=126732","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2018/04/11/necco-mania-fans-stock-up-on-chalky-wafers-in-case-candy-company-folds/","disqusTitle":"NECCO-Mania: Fans Stock Up On Chalky Wafers In Case Candy Company Folds","source":"Food History","sourceUrl":"https://www.kqed.org/bayareabites/category/food-history-and-celebrities","nprImageCredit":"Dina Rudick","nprByline":"Craig LeMoult, WGBH, NPR Food","nprImageAgency":"Boston Globe via Getty Images","nprStoryId":"601604556","nprApiLink":"http://api.npr.org/query?id=601604556&apiKey=MDAxOTAwOTE4MDEyMTkxMDAzNjczZDljZA004","nprHtmlLink":"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2018/04/11/601604556/necco-mania-fans-stock-up-on-chalky-wafers-in-case-candy-company-folds?ft=nprml&f=601604556","nprRetrievedStory":"1","nprPubDate":"Wed, 11 Apr 2018 19:00:00 -0400","nprStoryDate":"Wed, 11 Apr 2018 16:36:00 -0400","nprLastModifiedDate":"Wed, 11 Apr 2018 19:00:43 -0400","nprAudio":"https://ondemand.npr.org/anon.npr-mp3/npr/atc/2018/04/20180411_atc_not_my_necco_fans_buying_up_chalky_wafers_in_case_candy_company_folds.mp3?orgId=168809220&topicId=1053&d=225&p=2&story=601604556&ft=nprml&f=601604556","nprAudioM3u":"http://api.npr.org/m3u/1601630242-6546b9.m3u?orgId=168809220&topicId=1053&d=225&p=2&story=601604556&ft=nprml&f=601604556","path":"/bayareabites/126732/necco-mania-fans-stock-up-on-chalky-wafers-in-case-candy-company-folds","audioUrl":"https://ondemand.npr.org/anon.npr-mp3/npr/atc/2018/04/20180411_atc_not_my_necco_fans_buying_up_chalky_wafers_in_case_candy_company_folds.mp3?orgId=168809220&topicId=1053&d=225&p=2&story=601604556&ft=nprml&f=601604556","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>NECCO wafers are a polarizing candy.

It’s completely unlike the round white blobs you get at the grocery store. Light and airy as a cloud, these are easier to make than you might think – and they make a great rainy day project. All you need is a stand mixer and a candy thermometer. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I make mine with gelatin, although I’ve made other recipes using egg whites. It sounds kinda crazy, that you can whip up gelatin into a fluffy white mass, but it really does work. Just keep the faith and follow the directions, and you will be amazed by the results. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Make sure you prep your pan in advance, because once the mixture is ready, you need to spread it out quickly. The best way to do this is to use an offset spatula (or other thin metal spatula) that you’ve sprayed with a little cooking oil. Once the marshmallow sits for an hour or two to firm up, you can cut it into whatever shapes you like. I love the ghosts for Halloween, but you can do anything: stars, hearts, or if you want the least amount of scraps, squares.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When using a cutter or a knife, use a bit of the powdered sugar mixture to make sure it doesn’t get overly sticky, which makes it hard to cut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you do use a cutter and have a bunch of scraps, don’t throw them away!

It’s completely unlike the round white blobs you get at the grocery store. Light and airy as a cloud, these are easier to make than you might think – and they make a great rainy day project. All you need is a stand mixer and a candy thermometer. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I make mine with gelatin, although I’ve made other recipes using egg whites. It sounds kinda crazy, that you can whip up gelatin into a fluffy white mass, but it really does work. Just keep the faith and follow the directions, and you will be amazed by the results. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Make sure you prep your pan in advance, because once the mixture is ready, you need to spread it out quickly. The best way to do this is to use an offset spatula (or other thin metal spatula) that you’ve sprayed with a little cooking oil. Once the marshmallow sits for an hour or two to firm up, you can cut it into whatever shapes you like. I love the ghosts for Halloween, but you can do anything: stars, hearts, or if you want the least amount of scraps, squares.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When using a cutter or a knife, use a bit of the powdered sugar mixture to make sure it doesn’t get overly sticky, which makes it hard to cut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you do use a cutter and have a bunch of scraps, don’t throw them away!

They are just so adorable! So if you love a good sugar high, or just want to make your kids (or friends’ kids) really really happy (and watch them zoom around the house), then you need to get on this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This kitchen project takes a little bit of prep. You’ll need to seek out some white lollipop sticks, green sour candy bites, and candy melts. I find candy melts kinda gross, but they do the trick really easily, and if you do it right, there is only a thin coating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of candy melts, you can \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/10/19/halloween-white-chocolate-dipped-strawberry-ghosts/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">use white chocolate\u003c/a>, but just be super careful not to overheat it when you melt it or it will seize up. I find the best way to melt white chocolate is in a bowl set over gently simmering water rather than in the microwave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, you’ll want to color the white chocolate orange, so you will have to locate some oil-based or powdered food coloring. You can find it online fairly easily, but it’s not the same as the stuff you buy in the store.

Homemade pumpkin caramels make great bite-sized party favors that truly shine with the flavors of fall. They may sound like a lot of work, but these miniature candies are not terribly difficult once you get the hang of boiling sugar. Plus their layers of rich pumpkin and sweet maple flavor means that a little treat goes a long way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_89942\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/11/buttered-pan.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-89942\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/11/buttered-pan.jpg\" alt=\"Line a square baking dish with greased parchment paper for easy caramel removal.

Once your caramel mixture has reached the optimal temperature, you’ll want to dump it straight into the pan, so you need to be ready. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with two overlapping piece of parchment paper (or aluminum foil). Make sure the paper sticks up over the top of the pan; you’ll use the excess as handles for pulling out the set caramels. Lightly grease the parchment with softened butter for extra non-stick insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_89943\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/11/cream-mixture-in-pot.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-89943\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/11/cream-mixture-in-pot.jpg\" alt=\"A big scoop of pumpkin puree along with homemade pumpkin pie spice gives these caramels a hefty dose of fall flavor.

In these caramels, I’ve cut back a bit on the cream and replaced it with canned pumpkin puree. (You can use puree made from fresh pumpkins, but you’ll need to cook it down to evaporate much of its water content.) Along with the cream, butter, and pumpkin, I add fall flavor with a homemade pumpkin spice mix: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, clove, and a hefty pinch of flaked sea salt.

Traditionally, caramels are made with a mixture of corn syrup and granulated sugar. Here, I’ve replaced the corn syrup with earthy maple syrup, which complements the pumpkin. The biggest trick when melting the sugar is to keep it from crystallizing on the sides of the pot. To help prevent crystals from forming, pour the sugar into a tall mound in the middle of the liquid syrup. As the sugar melts, it will fall into the maple syrup, but once its dissolved, it will cause fewer problems. Heat the sugars over medium high heat and let the mixture come to a boil. Don’t stir yet!

Homemade pumpkin caramels make great bite-sized party favors that truly shine with the flavors of fall. They may sound like a lot of work, but these miniature candies are not terribly difficult once you get the hang of boiling sugar. Plus their layers of rich pumpkin and sweet maple flavor means that a little treat goes a long way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_89942\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/11/buttered-pan.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-89942\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/11/buttered-pan.jpg\" alt=\"Line a square baking dish with greased parchment paper for easy caramel removal.

Once your caramel mixture has reached the optimal temperature, you’ll want to dump it straight into the pan, so you need to be ready. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with two overlapping piece of parchment paper (or aluminum foil). Make sure the paper sticks up over the top of the pan; you’ll use the excess as handles for pulling out the set caramels. Lightly grease the parchment with softened butter for extra non-stick insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_89943\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/11/cream-mixture-in-pot.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-89943\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/11/cream-mixture-in-pot.jpg\" alt=\"A big scoop of pumpkin puree along with homemade pumpkin pie spice gives these caramels a hefty dose of fall flavor.

In these caramels, I’ve cut back a bit on the cream and replaced it with canned pumpkin puree. (You can use puree made from fresh pumpkins, but you’ll need to cook it down to evaporate much of its water content.) Along with the cream, butter, and pumpkin, I add fall flavor with a homemade pumpkin spice mix: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, clove, and a hefty pinch of flaked sea salt. Combine all of these ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer to melt the butter. Stir gently to combine the cream and pumpkin. Once the butter is melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and cover it to keep the mixture warm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_89941\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/11/beginning-of-boiling.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-89941\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/11/beginning-of-boiling.jpg\" alt=\"When the sugar mixture first starts to boil, the bubbles will be tiny and wet.
