Does anyone know why the chimney sweep with ladder & cloverleaf and the pig figurine are on the German chocolates & candies that we order in to Canada. My DH is German and says it's for Good Luck for the New Year. I've done a quick search & read where a Chimney Sweep saved a King so has always been considered good luck since, even if you just get to touch them throughout the year.....Does anyone have any links or "inside" info that I could enjoy reading, thanks!
