Welcome to the 1700s and your exclusive tour of the sugars and sweets enjoyed in that transitional century. 

What will you find? A fascinating selection of the 12 representative sugars and candies! Sample glistening stained glass candy that looks like its namesake, with a light, delightful flavor; maple drops, reminiscent of the sweets eaten by Native Americans; sugared flower petals, a prized sweet for the well-to-do; and spicey licorice root chewed by enslaved workers, Native Americans, and just about everyone else. 

Not sure what you’re sampling? NO WORRIES. As with all True Treats products, the story of each selection comes on a keepsake card with a copy of an authentic etching of Boston Harbor circa mid-1700s.

Content based on the research of True Treats founder Susan Benjamin. Find more in her newest book "Fun Foods of America."
