We were provided with complimentary candy and goodies during this event. Yum! This post also contains affiliate links.
Last Thursday, I was invited to attend an event at See’s Candies in Eugene to celebrate their re-opening. The store had been located in the Valley River Center for almost 40 years, and made the move last Monday to their new location at Lindsey Crossing. To get the word out, media that cover the region were invited to come and check out the location and taste some of the new offerings. The timing on everything worked out perfectly for us, since we were traveling all over the place for events last week; not to mention, I have a dear friend that lives near Eugene and was able to grab lunch with her and catch up before the event.
The location at Lindsey Crossing is very accessible and easy to find, which is why the store wanted to move there – Jai and I had never driven to this shopping area before and it was effortless getting there. Once we arrived, the staff welcomed us in and invited us to try any of the candies that caught our eye. Talk about being a kid in a candy store!
When they asked me what I’d like to try, I knew I had to taste the White Mint Truffle. I’m a little obsessed with peppermint and I love white chocolate, so it looked like something that was right up my alley!
If you love mint like I do…I don’t think you’ll be disappointed in this one. YUM!
We sampled so many delicious candies at this event.
This is the Milk Bordeaux, one of their most popular offerings.
I snapped this photo at the exact moment that Jai bit into a piece of Maple Cashew Brittle. The look you see on his face was him saying Mmmmmm because it was even tastier than he expected!
During the event, they had a fun contest where we all split into teams of two and competed to see who could pack a box of candy the fastest. Jai and I got a crash course from the pros on how to hold the candy cups for maximum efficiency – it’s a little like dealing cards!
Jai and I finished our boxes at almost the same time, but his box looked better than mine so he was the winner this time. 😉 We got to keep the boxes that we packed, and were both given a copy of See’s Famous Old Time Candies: A Sweet Story
At the end of event, we were all given a fun See’s tote bag packed with goodies to take home. It was perfect timing, since we spent the week staying with Jai’s brother and sister-in-law in Portland – really, what makes a sweeter hostess gift than a box of candy?

So sweet! I love this post. (And I was wondering who took the pictures of you two.)
I am ready for my Tipperary BonBon and Pecan Caramel squares now
:->. (Oh, and the Coconut BonBon and the Polar Bear Paws and…)
I know, right? Good thing I’ve got a big bag of candy to tide me over ’cause editing all these photos made me hungry. 😀
We LOVE See’s. I’m so jealous that you got to go behind the counter!! Their peanut butter patties are my favorite, but I also love pretty much everything else that they make.
Jealous! We don’t have a brick and mortar store here but my parents are known to order See’s as gifts for chocolate lovers in the family. I’m one of them!
I LOVE Sees Candy. My mom used to take me to get a sucker when I was a little girl each time we went to the mall. Good memories!
How fun! Love See’s Candy.
That is my kind of event! I love Sees candies, but unfortunately do not have a store near where I currently live.
I had no idea that episode was filmed at See’s Candies. How cool! Looks like a fun and yummy event!
We have See’s candy here in San Diego too but I haven’t tried their candies yet. I saw last Valentines Day their store was packed with people standing in line, which made me so curious.
Looks like you had a great time… although how couldn’t you when you’re surrounded by all that chocolate haha!
Now that’s my kind of event! How fun to learn so much about their company and then to be able to take home the book! I haven’t been to a Sees in ages! I will need to find one, because my sweet tooth is awake now! =)
Yummy Chocolates!!!! Wow, they look so good. I’ve never heard of this company. I’ll have to check them out if I ever come across their store. That’s pretty cool that you guys had a contest filling boxes with chocolate and that you got to take them home.
looks like you both had a grand time–unlike Lucy you could get a job there =)
I would have tried the same candy as you LOVE LOVE white chocolate!!
I love Sees Candy. When I was a kid, we didn’t have one near us, so when we visited my grandparents in Arizona, we always had to stop by (usually more than once) to get our Sees fix.
This looks like a lot of fun.
I didn’t know that about I Love Lucy! That’s pretty neat!!!! I love their milk chocolate covered caramels!!!
Oh my gosh… these pictures make we want to eat some chocolate now.. This is a wonderful post..
Oh my goodness! I would have so been stuffing candy into my mouth! And I would have had a Charlie from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Moment and stuffed a piece in my pocket too! I love the history of See’s with the I Love Lucy episode nostalgia. How much fun was this? Yummy.

The pictures turned out good. The event was a ton of fun and being
“a kid in a candy store” was crazy.
I actually just found the other half of my piece of “summer time” in my purse and it was still amazing.
My boys are loving the treats, I had to hide them to keep us all out of them.
That looks like so much fun. What a great way to spend time in Eugene!
This is so nostalgic, and brings me back to my childhood! I haven’t had a See’s candy treat in so long!
I’m usually not big on sweets, especially candy, but those pictures are making me crave for chocolate! I wouldn’t mind having that white mint truffle. 🙂
Lol….I actually think I knew about the conveyor belt episode of I Love Lucy being filmed at See’s Candies. Lucy had it right! I think I’d have had a tough time not following her lead :0)
