"It was in 1999 that The Candy Basket merged with Shorthill Taffy Factory, another locally owned and operated candy manufacturer since 1914. Shorthill Taffy Factory boasts four generations of women manufacturing the finest quality and variety of salt water taffy in the world. From our basic best sellers, Red Cinnamon, Peanut Butter, Licorice Swirl, and Peppermint, to our more exotic flavors, Paradise Plum, Asian Pear, Maple Bacon, and Jalapeno, each batch is slow cooked in copper kettles and pulled to perfection. Every batch is made fresh to order!
The two companies are a match made in heaven, in and out of the work place! Not only was a successful year for business born, but love was in the air, and we don’t mean Valentine’s Day. The owner of The Candy Basket, Inc., Dale C. Fuhr proposed to the owner of Shorthill Taffy Factory, Kipi Doran in August of 2001. As their love continues to grow, so does business!"
Oh, these are just delicious. We knocked off a box only a month or so ago. They can’t be resisted or eaten slowly. Never had this problem with any other candy (except of course, Cadbury mini-eggs). They have to be purchased but you have to undertand their power.
If you’ve never had these type of Caramels, then you’re missing out. The small salt bits on top and just underneath the surface are insanely good with the soft caramel. Don’t be thinking this is that super chewy, stick-n-your-teeth caramel either, it’s melt in your mouth deeeeelicious caramel that’s like a thick, creamy fudge consistancy. Mmmm… ok, I’m in for 3.
I got these on the last woot-off(?). These caramels are really really good. The salt mixed with the sweetness is amazing. The caramels are soft which adds to the texture. In for another 3!
