DESCRIPTION
Our Buttercreams are made with a recipe from Shrafft’s Confectionary of Boston, circa late 1800s!
This Easter go with the sweetest, old time holiday tradition: Buttercreams. True Treats uniquely “old fashioned” buttercreams are set in a truffle box with our own keepsake card containing an historic image plus the story of buttercreams. The strawberry buttercream has a rich, creamy strawberry filling encased in smooth milk chocolate – a luscious chocolate accented by fun. Buttercreams were celebrated when they first appeared in the late 1800s. Our buttercreams are made by hand in a small confectionery, now owned by the third generation. No corporate shortcuts here – the ingredients are original, each chocolate made a week or two before being shipped – sometimes sooner!
Buttercreams pair nicely with fruits and nuts, a traditional combination, and go well with wine, tea or coffee, after a meal or as a midday delight. Traditionally, buttercreams were given as a gift or served as a dessert, nicely displayed on a plate. They were also a gift in “courtship” and a beach-time delight.

The Story of Old-Fashioned Buttercreams
Starting in the mid-1800s, the possibilities for chocolate were endless, producing enrobed creations be they chocolate bonbons, truffles with gnash centers, or creams aka “buttercreams.” Buttercreams, as with all chocolates of distinction, were French. By French, the chocolates weren’t necessary from France, but were in the “French style,” such as the French style cream- filled candy introduced in 1851 at the Great Exhibition in London. Buttercreams won an adoring audience in the US, who have long been enamored in all things French. Want to know more about the American Buttercreams?
