Original 1600s Sugar Plums

What exactly are Sugar Plums? These sugar plums will tell it all. This collection contains tasty little orbs, with a tiny fennel seed inside, made in France since 1591. Youll also find sugar coated fennel, enjoyed by the British centuries ago and still popular in India today, and of course, sugar coated almonds, a favorite from the ancient Mediterranean. Each of the candies has a seed or nut at the center and a sugar coating to give them a smooth, sweet coating, often flavored with a floral essence. They have been used as a digestive after a full meal, gifts at weddings and other celebrations, breath fresheners and, above all, tasty sweets enjoyed any time of day.
