Who knew- hard candies started as medicines used for sore throat and as a conduit for other medicines. They emerged as tasty candies in the mid-1800s at the start of modern candies. Fillings soon became the essence of many of them—the raspberry candies emerged as a favorite in Grandma’s candy bowls after the First World War. This hard candy with a soft raspberry jelly inside is a classic 1930s treat. The perfect complement of crunch and sweet. Comes in a 6-ounce bag with the history on the label.
