DESCRIPTION

These lemon drops are made in the classic drop style, round but not the orbs you find in sour balls and other manufactured candies. They are lightly sanded, meaning they have a thin sugar skin that keeps them from sticking and adds a bit of sweetness. The flavor is definitely lemon – pleasantly tart without the garish flavor you find in more recent sour candies. Refreshing and tasty to liven up the day.

Historical Insights

Many of the hard candies of today started as medicines then morphed into candies. Early on, these medicine-candies started as sugar boiled in water with medicinal herbs and spices. Eventually they were touted for their flavors, such as lemon drops marketed to kids and grown-ups in the 1850s. Others came along after the Civil War such as Lifesavers, sour balls, butterscotch candy and sparkling mints.
