Old-Fashioned Candy

Old-Fashioned Candy & Traditional Confections

Old-fashioned candy covers traditional confections that do not fit neatly into modern gummy, jelly bean or hard-candy formats. This includes regional sweets, maple sugar candy, divinity, pralines, creams, brittle and other classic candy styles made with older confectionery methods.

These candies are often defined more by texture, tradition and regional style than by a single modern candy format. Mount Mansfield's soft maple sugar candy is a good example: it is molded like candy but melts in the mouth rather than behaving like a gummy or slow-dissolving hard candy.
