Read the actual label
The flavors and craft descriptions in this illustrated guide are examples, not ingredient labels. Recipes vary by confectioner and can change over time. Check the current package and ask the maker about ingredients before serving or gifting any candy.
Peanuts and other allergens
Peanut brittle contains peanuts. Taffy and other confections may contain ingredients such as milk, egg, soy, wheat, or nuts, depending on the recipe. Shared equipment or facilities can also create cross-contact.
If you or someone you are gifting has an allergy, contact the actual manufacturer for specific ingredient and handling information. Do not rely on general tasting notes to determine suitability.
Texture and sharing
These collections describe a range of soft, chewy, crisp, and airy textures. Consider the recipient’s individual needs and preferences when choosing a treat, and follow the manufacturer’s storage and handling guidance.
How the craft is represented
The warming, pulling, and wrapping steps in this guide are a general creative depiction of traditional confectionery craft. Batch sizes are illustrative examples rather than production records.
Questions about a specific candy
