Butterscotch Forever - Sharing Size

Butterscotch has a fascinating story, starting in the 1800s (some say earlier) and skyrocketing into today. The flavor is rich, warm and buttery and the texture uniquely smooth. Unlike many other hard candies, the color complements the flavor, creating a luscious - yes, truly luscious - candy experience. Perhaps that's why Butterscotch is True Treats' most popular hard candy and has been a favorite of grandmothers and their descendants for generations. 

Susan Suggests: Use butterscotch disks on baked goods such as gingerbread houses or for extra flourish to festive cakes. The color livens up any setting, so don't be shy about having a bowl for the taking alongside desserts or, old style, in a colorful bowl on a coffee table.

A Bit of 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. That being said, butterscotch, no matter who’s making it, contains butter, sugar, water and maybe vanilla and has since the 1800s. One ad in 1888 tells customers: “Get some old-fashioned butterscotch candy at the New Candy Factory. YUM! YUM!”.
