French Creams

French Creams - smooth and creamy, a refreshing minty flavor in an elegant truffle box - in all. The origin of this candy is unknown - likely it descended from cream candy which gained popularity in the 1800s. Children enjoyed creams as an inexpensive treat, while grown-up versions were more decorative and fanciful. The French Creams of today were popular in the 1940s, when small treats were served at card games, teas, and cocktail parties, and most certainly given as a gift. Always in good taste.
