Historical Insights
Butterscotch has a fascinating history, going straight to today. The flavor is endlessly familiar: rich, buttery, and warm. As butterscotch hard candy, the warmth lingers on your tongue, creating a pleasant and relaxed feeling throughout. No wonder butterscotch hard candy is the favorite candy of legends of grandmothers and their descendants. Some might say it’s the flavor of love.
A bit about the history: For years, people assumed butterscotch was from Scotland. Actually, the word “butterscotch” refers to the process of “scorching” the candy as it’s made and not that it’s of Scotch descent. One ad in 1888 tells customers: “Get some old-fashioned butterscotch hard candy at the New Candy Factory. YUM! YUM!”.
So, when was it really made? Some sources say the 1700s. But that’s doubtful. And in my search through numerous 18th-century texts, I found not a thing. One thing's for sure - it's now the most popular hard candy flavor at True Treats....and we have plenty of it!

I went to Sweetie’s Historical Candy Shop with my son at Harper’s Ferry. So much candy and so many memories!! I ordered a bunch of candy online. Packaged great and enjoying some old favorites. Prices were great and shipping was fast. I really like the Shop’s communication. My package was being held at the USPS due to some mistake and the SHOP APP communicated that to me otherwise, i never would have known.
