Up until this point, candy bars were made up of only one type of candy like chocolate. The company made a variety of candies including Belle Camp fine chocolates, marshmallows, and suckers. In the early days, he only had about 12 employees and two copper kettles for manufacturing candy. Two years later he renamed it the Standard Candy Company. He was only 19-years-old, but had already decided to commit to the candy business. It began when Howell Campbell founded the Anchor Candy Company in 1901. The Goo Goo Cluster predates the MoonPie by only a few years. These delectable confections are more than staple treats, they have become symbols of state pride in Tennessee. After all, the Goo Goo Cluster was the first ever combination candy bar, and the MoonPie was the brainstorm of a hungry coal miner. There are a few tall tales surrounding these snacks and their origins, and for good reason. The Battle of Goo Goo Moon by Denise Stewart-Sanabria (Tennessee State Museum collection 2014.66) Of course, if someone tries to bait you into choosing one, donвЂ™t be fooled. One is a snack sandwich and one is a candy. They are very different, but equally delicious. Though some might try to say otherwise, there is no battle between these two treats. The title, of course, refers to two of TennesseeвЂ™s most famous treats: the Goo Goo Cluster made in Nashville, and the MoonPie made in Chattanooga. This work of southern nostalgia never fails to take me back to happy childhood memories of afterschool snacks and summer camp canteen. There is no painting in our collection that oozes sticky, sweet indulgence better than The Battle of Goo Goo Moon (2014)В by Denise Stewart-Sanabria.
