Robust violet flavor and scent has made Choward’s a favorite since the 1930s and a unique sweet today. In fact, this unique candy was first made by Charles Howard and his wife in the 1930s in their New York City apartment. They sold their creation from a push-cart on the NYC streets. Still enjoyed in New York – and any other place of good taste. Delightfully fragrant.
