At Heritage Sweets & Co., we believe that mass production destroyed the soul of hard candy. Industrial factories replace real butter, pure cane sugar, and fruit juices with high-fructose corn syrup, artificial dyes, and chemical enhancers.
Our master confectioners still cook each batch in small open-fire copper kettles in upstate New York. By carefully monitoring temperature and hand-pulling the warm candy batch over hook frames, we incorporate micro-air pockets that give our hard candies their signature soft crunch and silk-smooth dissolution.
