Reed's Butterscotch Old-Fashioned Hard Candy

Description

"The priceless ingredients of every product are the honor and integrity of its maker" has been the Reed's, tradition, and the dominant influence pervading Reed's Candy Company since its inception. In 1883, two innovative young men, William and Eugene Reed, along with their father, began producing and selling butterscotch patties. Due to the unique cooking process combined with the use of fresh butter, a richer, more flavorful butterscotch candy was created to the delight of the consuming public. Machinery was custom-designed to accommodate production of cooking fresh butter in boiling syrup, and individually wrapping the finished hard-candy pieces in a cellophane "button-wrap" with eight pieces wrapped in a roll. By 1921, Reed's Candy became the largest manufacturer of butterscotch candy in the United States.
