Strawberry-Filled Hard Candy

My great grandmother always had those hard strawberry-filled drops in the wrapper that looked like a strawberry! Good memories! - Dana Perkins, True Treats Friend

A top seller for us today! A true classic.

Strawberry-filled candies are a favorite at True Treats. The reason could be the texture: a hard, candy shell with a smooth, jelly-like filling. The perfect complement. Or it could be the flavor, sweet as strawberry jam with barely hint of tartness. Or, perhaps the wrapper. While other hard candies were wrapped in clear plastic, strawberry-filled candies were wrapped to look like their namesake - a strawberry with seed-speckled design on the wrapper, and a leaf-like green top. More than anything, though, filled strawberries are jam-packed with memories. That’s because legends of grandmothers – and even grandfathers, too - gave strawberry filled candies to the children they loved. Grandmothers displayed them in candy bowls and carried them in their purses – free for the taking. Always delightful.

Crisp hard candy shell with a warm sweet jelly-like center. Delicious and a favorite of grandmothers for generations along with sour balls, butterscotch disks, clove candy…well, you know the list. A symbol that all was right in the world when World War II ended. A symbol of affluence after the Depression. Carry the tradition with friends, family, even strangers you happen to like! Bring them into your home and share!
