A tradition that dates back to 1840 when a sweet shop owner offered sugared almonds with sentimental messages.  While watching his wood fire one evening, a log burst into flame with a loud crack.  This inspired the entrepreneur to contrive a log-shaped box that would pop when pulled, revealing his almond and sentiment within.  Each holds a charm, fortune, party hat, and snap!... The winner pulls the larger end. Box of 6. 12.
