You’ve probably been craving peanut butter melt-a-ways, chocolate pecan

fudge or white chocolate almond cluster truffles for months, but in the midst of swimsuit season, haven’t surrendered to the little, tasty temptations. Well, we’re going to give you the perfect excuse.

In August, Pease’s Candy will feature its Month of Charity event, taking 20 percent off all purchases and then donating 5 percent of total sales to their “charity of the week.” Donations went to the Pregnancy Care Center of Springfield last week; donations will benefit the Animal Protective League Aug. 9-16, the Hoogland Center for the Arts Aug. 17-24 and Senior Services of Central Illinois Aug. 25-31.

Pease’s can be found in Springfield at State and Laurel, Parkway Pointe, Sixth and Washington and Sangamon Center North.
