Pearson's* Nut Goodies are a local specialty here in Minnesota, where we are this week for a family reunion.
When I bought one and the young girl at the cash register heard me say I'd never tried one before, she thought this was pretty weird.
It's a wonder some of these regional brands have survived given that competition from the larger global brands is probably fairly stiff. But, the home town hero may have an advantage at times. The "local" angle got me to buy one.
*The Pearson Candy Co. is based in St. Paul, Minnesota.
