Beerntsen's Confectionery

"Fairy food is a favorite candy especially in the heartland. It is brittle spun molasses, lighter than air, enrobed in chocolate. This is milk chocolate. Dark chocolate also is available. (buffetbuster photo)"

"Joe Beerntsen opened his candy store in 1932 and it remained in the family until 2003 when Dean and Chrissy Schadrie took over. The sweet-shop charm never has changed. (buffetbuster photo)"
