Timeless Flavors, Elevated Quality
Our Classic Collection honors the confectionery traditions that have delighted generations while elevating them through modern techniques and premium ingredients. These are the flavors you know and love—peppermint, butterscotch, lemon drops, and more—but crafted with a level of care and quality that transforms familiar favorites into extraordinary experiences. Every candy in our Classic Collection represents our commitment to perfecting the fundamentals of confectionery art.
We believe that classic candy deserves the same attention to detail and quality standards as any innovative creation. That's why we've invested years in perfecting these recipes, studying traditional techniques, sourcing the finest ingredients, and developing proprietary processes that enhance flavor, texture, and consistency. The result is candy that tastes like nostalgic memories but performs like modern masterpieces.
While many candy makers rely on artificial flavors and shortcuts to produce classic candies quickly and cheaply, we take the opposite approach. Our Classic Collection candies are made using time-intensive traditional methods combined with quality-enhancing innovations developed through our research program. We use real butter in our butterscotch, genuine peppermint oil in our mints, fresh lemon juice in our lemon drops, and premium sugars in all our hard candies.
Our proprietary slow-crystallization process creates exceptionally smooth texture and brilliant clarity in our hard candies. Natural flavors are preserved through careful temperature control and specialized processing methods. Every batch undergoes the same rigorous testing as our specialty products, ensuring consistent quality that meets our exacting standards. The difference is immediately apparent in both appearance and taste—these are truly premium versions of beloved classics.
Our signature peppermint swirls combine traditional red and white striping with cooling natural peppermint oil. Unlike mass-produced peppermints that taste harsh or chemical, ours offer a smooth, refreshing flavor that evolves beautifully as the candy dissolves. We use certified organic peppermint oil extracted from select mint varieties, giving our peppermints complex, layered flavor with natural sweetness beneath the cooling sensation. The classic red swirl uses natural coloring, and each piece is individually wrapped to preserve freshness. Perfect as an after-dinner mint or anytime refreshment.
Rich, creamy, and deeply satisfying, our butterscotch discs showcase what this classic flavor can be when made with real butter and pure ingredients. We use a proprietary blend of sugars and real creamery butter, slow-cooked to achieve the perfect balance of caramel notes and buttery richness. The cooking process is carefully controlled to develop complex Maillard reaction flavors without bitterness. Each disc has a satisfying thickness that provides long-lasting enjoyment. The flavor starts buttery and sweet, developing into deeper caramel notes as it melts. These are butterscotch candies as they were meant to be.
Bright, tart, and refreshingly sweet, our lemon drops deliver authentic citrus flavor without harsh acidity. We use a combination of fresh lemon juice, natural lemon oil, and organic lemon extract to create a multi-dimensional citrus experience. The initial burst of tart lemon gives way to subtle sweetness with floral undertones from natural lemon oil. Our special processing preserves the volatile compounds that give fresh lemons their characteristic aroma and brightness. The result is a lemon drop that tastes like fresh fruit, not artificial flavoring. Rolled in fine sugar for a slight textural contrast.
Deep, fruity, and satisfyingly sweet with subtle complexity, our wild cherry candies are far removed from one-dimensional artificial cherry flavors. We blend multiple varieties of cherry extracts with supporting fruit notes to create a flavor profile that's recognizably cherry but with unexpected depth. Natural coloring gives these candies their appealing ruby-red color, and the flavor intensity is perfectly balanced—strong enough to satisfy but not overwhelming. Each candy provides approximately 10 minutes of consistent flavor release, making them ideal for savoring slowly or freshening breath naturally.
Bold, warming, and intensely spiced, our cinnamon discs offer serious heat for cinnamon lovers. We use natural cinnamon oil extracted from premium Ceylon cinnamon, known for its complex, slightly sweet character without harsh bite. The intensity builds gradually as you enjoy the candy, starting with warm sweetness and developing into robust spice that tingles pleasantly without overwhelming. Unlike candies that use capsaicin for heat, ours rely on authentic cinnamon compounds for genuine cinnamon flavor and warmth. These are not for the faint of heart—they're crafted for true cinnamon enthusiasts.
Nostalgic and complex, our root beer barrels capture the essence of old-fashioned root beer with notes of vanilla, wintergreen, anise, and sassafras. We use a proprietary blend of natural extracts and essential oils to recreate authentic root beer flavor without the carbonation. The barrel shape is traditional, but our recipe is anything but ordinary—we've perfected the balance of sweet, spicy, and herbal notes that made root beer barrels a classic. The flavor starts bold and gradually reveals subtle layers of complexity. These candies are particularly popular with those who remember traditional root beer and want that authentic taste experience.
Smooth, soothing, and naturally sweet, our honey-filled drops feature a hard candy shell surrounding a liquid honey center. We use premium wildflower honey sourced from Pacific Northwest beekeepers, giving these candies floral complexity and authentic honey character. The hard candy shell provides initial sweetness while the honey center delivers rich, natural flavor. These are particularly valued for their throat-soothing properties and make excellent companions during cold weather or whenever you need natural comfort. Each drop contains approximately one teaspoon of real honey surrounded by honey-flavored hard candy.
Every candy in our Classic Collection undergoes the same rigorous quality control as our most innovative products. Each batch is tested for flavor accuracy, color consistency, size uniformity, proper texture, and microbiological safety. Our trained sensory panel evaluates samples from every production run, comparing them against established standards to ensure consistency. We maintain detailed specifications for each product, and if any batch doesn't meet our criteria, it's rejected before reaching customers.
We package our Classic Collection candies in various formats to suit different needs. Individual wrapped pieces ensure freshness and convenience, bulk bags are perfect for candy dishes or parties, and gift boxes showcase multiple flavors beautifully. All packaging is designed to protect product quality while minimizing environmental impact.
Our Classic Collection candies are versatile enough for any situation. Keep a bag in your desk for afternoon pick-me-ups, stock your candy dish for guests, include them in gift baskets, use them as party favors or wedding treats, enjoy them as after-dinner mints, or share them with friends and family. Because these are familiar flavors elevated to premium quality, they appeal to all ages and taste preferences.
Many customers tell us our Classic Collection reminds them of candies from their childhood—but better than they remembered. That's exactly our goal: to capture the nostalgia and comfort of traditional candy while delivering quality that exceeds modern expectations. These aren't just nostalgic treats; they're proof that classic flavors, when made right, remain timeless for good reason.
Our Classic Collection candies are made with simple, recognizable ingredients. While formulations vary by product, common ingredients include cane sugar, glucose syrup, natural flavors and extracts, natural colors, and butter (in butterscotch). Many products in this collection are gluten-free and made without common allergens. Specific allergen and ingredient information is available on individual product packaging and our website. For questions about specific products, please contact our customer service team.
Hard candies in our Classic Collection maintain peak quality for 12-18 months when stored properly. Keep candies in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Avoid temperature fluctuations and high humidity, which can cause candies to become sticky. Once opened, store in an airtight container to maintain freshness. Individual wrapped pieces offer extended freshness and convenience for on-the-go enjoyment.
