DESCRIPTION
Our Buttercreams are made with a recipe from Shrafft’s Confectionary of Boston, circa late 1800s!
The perfect combination – luxurious vanilla cream tucked into a chocolate shell. In fact – this union is so perfect the chocolate tree and the vanilla orchid even grow together in their Mesoamerican home. Today they come together in True Treats’ uniquely “old fashioned” buttercreams! 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! A set of six creams comes in a truffle box with our own keepsake card containing an historic image plus the story of buttercreams. The vanilla buttercream have a rich, creamy coconut filling, truly luxurious.
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.

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?
