Mini Series, California Dreaming, Day 1 of 3
Many of the people who e-mail or write comments to FogBay are one-time residents of California who have moved away. This mini series, and its future editions, will look at what people miss when they move away from the West Coast. This edition of California Dreaming will focus the foods that you might not be able to find at your new home.

See's Candies is one of those California experiences that is spreading eastward, but too slowly for its fans. Started from a single store in 1921, there are more than 200 stores throughout the West, from Hawaii to Arizona. The familiar black and white stores are a familiar icon to kids growing up here. The workers at See's always greet customers with a free sample or two. The truffles, lollypops and walnut square bars are their most popular offerings but my suggestion is to try the California Brittle.
