1800s Timeline Box

Welcome to the 1800s and your exclusive tour of the sugars and sweets enjoyed in the century when modern candy arrived with a boom! 

What will you find? Lots of surprises and plenty of memories in the 12 representative sugars and candies! PLUS a keepsake card telling the story of each item you'll sample! Enjoy one of the first chocolate kisses called the Wilbur Bud. Try sweet sorghum drops and bitter horehound, and let your teeth sink into the sweet and timelessly popular Turkish delight. 

While there, you'll be surprised to taste popular candies most people consider 20th-century hits, such as Circus Peanuts. But most surprising is the story behind each selection, revealed to you on a keepsake card with a copy of an authentic 19th-century illustration.
