The Original "Garage Mixture"

This special mix of salted red skin peanuts and chocolate babies originated early 1920's in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. It was recalled that Paul Matter owned a Studebaker garage just across Main Street from the VanDeusen's Candy Shop. The mechanics, brought peanuts and chocolate babies back from VanDeusen's, and would mix them together in a tin. They placed it on the manifold of a running Studebaker, slightly warming the mixture, thus the name "Garage Mixture" originated. Since then garage mix has been enjoyed by generations of candy lovers everywhere. Maybe after eating a handful of garage mix you will be reminded of old times spent in downtown Honesdale, and the VanDeusen's Candy Shop.
