A tradition that dates back to the 1840's 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 a snap!...the winner pulls the larger end. Box of 6. 12". ($17 value)
