Candy sticks (also called candy canes , barber candy bars , or barbers ) are variations of length, cylindrical hard candy, typically has a length of four to seven inches and a diameter of 1/4 to 1/2 inches, but in some exceptional cases up to 14 inches long and two inches in diameter. Like candy canes, they usually have at least two different colors (either opaque or translucent) rotating together in a spiral pattern, resembling a barber pole.
This candy has a long history in the United States, where it is believed to have been developed, and is often marketed as an "old-fashioned" candy. It is often sold in general stores and similar shops specializing in nostalgic items. The Cracker Barrel chain estimates that its store sells a total length of 940 miles (1,510 km) of candy canes annually.

Histori
The candy cane has been around since at least the autumn of 1837 when it was featured at the Massachusetts Association of Mechanics Exhibition Exhibition along with "lobster candy". Candy sticks were popular among children and adults in the US in the early 1860s, and the sale of this type of candy (especially during the carnival season in the warmer months) is described as profitable. One contemporary story depicts fragments of candy sticks sold in paper containers, served by candy vendors to rural people as something special, and gives a high price.
Candy cane is the subject of an 1885 song called "The Candy Stick":
Oh candy cane striped like a gay barber pole,
Was a pleasant pleasure from my childish soul,
Every penny I produce on my little palm is on fire,
Get to the corner store I stole, Site For a striped candy stick like a gay barber pole.
The candy stick is the subject of the poem, "Stick-Candy Days", from the collection of 1907 A Rose of the Old Regime: And Other Poems from the House of Love and Childhood by Bentztown Bard (Folger McKinsey)). The first two verses are:
I want to go back to candy days,
Before they make choc'late and glaze bonbons; I want to go back to my dear little shop
Where the old lady was selling pop ginger-beer,
And make little cakes with raisins, which go
Like lightning because they're both worth a penny!
I know the green street where the little shop stands,
And, oh, the candy-stick that tastes so good!
Lemon and wintergreen, cinnamon bars,
Each in a small, fat little container -
I see through the glamor of a childhood luster! From sassafras, horehound, and white peppermint!
Candy canes are also mentioned in the 1909 poem, "The Land of Candy", by Madison Julius Cawein:
The first place they went to, why,
It is the wood that reaches the heavens; Forest of Stick Candy. My!
How the little boy made him fly!
Why, the tree trunk is just as good, the
Great Homo yo yoyoyooy ty ooy o as, at our gate,
What is sycamores; the whole world Striped like a barber pole...

Production and marketing
Candy canes are produced by mixing sugar (and sometimes also corn syrup) with water and a little tartar cream. The dough is mixed with color and seasoning, then pulled and twisted, producing a distinctive spiral pattern, and finally cut to the proper length and allowed to cool and harden.
In the 1800s, bright red (and sometimes also bright blue) spun with white was the most common color. Although not binding and thicker, this is similar to candy canes (which retain the red and white color schemes mentioned above).
Candy sticks are produced in a variety of flavors, such as root beer, sassafras, horehounds, cinnamon, butterscotch, piÃÆ' Â ± a colada, peppermint, cloves, spearmint, licorice, cotton candy, and wintergreen. They are also made in a variety of fruit and berry flavors. There are also varieties that contain two different flavors that are stirred together.
Candy sticks are generally sold in clear plastic packaging, and are traditionally displayed for sale in wide-mouth glass bottles. They were originally sold by pieces for nickel or a dime. In 2008, they were more often sold for 25 cents to 75 cents, although they were also sold in large quantities.
Several types of candy canes filled with sweet cream.
Consumption
As hard candy, candy cane is slow to dissolve and stick candy lasts longer if consumed by sucking. Like lollipops, they are most often consumed by sucking, but can also be destroyed by teeth.
Candy sticks are sometimes used as ingredients in other foods: crushed and used in ice cream pudding, or frosting, or cut into thin slices and used as a topping for the cake. It can also be used in other candies, especially in combination with chocolate.
