OK. One of the most elusive items on the list. We had researched this and learned that popular candy companies Naron and Mary Sue had merged in 1996. The merger didn't go so well, and Naron-Mary Sue was sold in 2001. Since then, the Naron had been dropped from the name, the website and pretty much from all of Baltimore. We didn't even know how to find them. Until we entered a back part of the market to a fun candy stand. And, what do we see, but a sign saying "Naron Candy Box". We asked at the stand where they confirmed it was Baltimore's "famous" candy. Mission accomplished! (and the truffles were amazing too!)
The question still stands why its on the list if the company doesn't truly exist anymore, but at least we found it so it still exists somewhere!
Photo of the box was all that was left, we all ate the truffles too quickly to capture on film (or digital).
