The Signature Sampler - 11 Flavors of Hard Candy, 2.5 oz Pouches
WHAT TO EXPECT
Butterfields Candy Buds are traditional hard candy. They are made to savor slowly. They are true to the fruit, never overly sweet. Handmade in copper kettles so no two candies are exactly alike.
Small Batch
No Preservatives
Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Vegan
Every flavor in our lineup, together in one box ; each one developed from the fruits that have grown across the South for generations. Peach from the Carolina and Georgia orchards. Muscadine from the vine. Honeybell from the Florida groves. Key Limes from the Florida Keys. These are the flavors of Southern farming and agriculture, made into candy the same way we've made them since 1924.
Our flavors remind most people of their childhood. They can taste the difference. What they taste is pure and spot on. People open the sampler, work their way through all eleven, and somewhere in the middle they find the one that stops them. Everyone finds their favorite.
This is how most people discover Butterfields. One sampler. Eleven flavors rooted in a century of Southern craft. A favorite you didn't know you had.
Each sampler includes one 2.5 oz pouch of every flavor, with 22–24 pieces per pouch — over 240 pieces of handmade candy in every box:
Peach · Lemon · Key Lime · Honeybell Orange · Cherry · Muscadine · Watermelon · Ginger · Cinnamon · Guava · Mango
*Please note we coat the candy in sugar mix to prevent from getting sticky; due to this, color and brightness may vary.
Product Details
Butterfields Buds are old-fashioned hard candy with a glasslike look and feel. They are meant to dissolve slowly; we do not recommend biting into them. The flavor is fruit- or spice-forward and balanced rather than made to taste like a dessert or an intensely flavored gummy candy.
Every batch is made by hand, and our colors come from fruit and vegetable sources. Small differences in color, shape, size, and sugar coating are normal and are not product defects.
All Butterfields candies contain coconut, a tree-nut allergen. Most flavors use natural flavor. Peach Buds contain both natural and artificial peach flavor as part of the longstanding recipe.

Candy Storage
Humidity is the enemy of hard candy. Keep Butterfields in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from heat and moisture.

Born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina in 1924
For decades, Butterfields Candy moved—from Winston-Salem to Rocky Mount, Rocky Mount to Nashville—carried forward by families who believed the candy was worth keeping. Then in 2009, it went dark. The kettles went cold. The recipes sat waiting. And someone who spent 15 years carrying the memory of a candy that comforted her took a leap of faith and brought it back to life.
Dena Manning is the steward of that story.
Frequently Asked Questions
They are old-fashioned hard candy with a glasslike look and feel. We do not recommend biting into them.
Butterfields is old-fashioned hard candy, not a chewy or gummy candy. Each piece is meant to dissolve slowly. Our flavors are fruit- or spice-forward and balanced rather than made to taste like a dessert. Because every batch is made by hand, the pieces will not have the perfectly uniform size, color, or finish of mass-produced candy.
Yes. Butterfields candies are vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free.
Yes. All Butterfields candies contain coconut, which is classified as a tree nut. Please review the ingredient and allergen information on the individual product page before ordering.
No. Our colors come from fruit and vegetable sources, including red carrot, turmeric, grapes, and spirulina, depending on the flavor.
Most Butterfields flavors use natural flavor. Our Peach Buds contain both natural and artificial peach flavor. This is part of the longstanding recipe I chose to preserve. Mixed assortments that include Peach Buds also contain that flavoring.
Yes. Sugar Free Peach Buds are available in an 8-ounce cello bag and a mason jar. They contain isomalt rather than sugar. Please see the product page for current availability and complete ingredients.
Coconut is part of the traditional recipe and is used during the hand-folding process to keep the candy from sticking. Small pieces also remain in the finished candy. It is not a strong coconut flavor, but coconut is a tree nut and must be treated as an allergen.
We make the candy by hand in small batches. Natural color sources and the light sugar coating can also affect how bright each piece looks. Small variations in color, shape, and size are normal.
Humidity is the enemy of hard candy. Keep Butterfields in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from heat and moisture.
No. Some flavors have a bright or tart finish, but we do not currently make sour candy.
Im so used to ordering online and expecting crap, the sampler was excellent, it far exceeded my expectations, even the stuff I thought that would be weird was excellent.
LOVE THEM!! I saw Butterfield's on fb and decided to order because it's local. Dear Lord the Muscadine ruined me. These are the best "vintage" style candies I have found in a long time. The Orchard mix jar?!! Ok fine.. Take all my money...
Refreshing and tasty hard candies. I have not tried all 11 flavors yet, but so far the peach, watermelon and cinnamon are delicious!
It was nice to get a sample so I could choose the flavors that I prefer. They are very good, flavorful, and rich. In the future I plan to buy the larger bags of my favorite flavors.
All eleven flavors were true to name and delightful. Every one a winner! I'm sure I'll be ordering again.
Ii also bought for a friend and we loved every flavor
Hi Leslie, We're so happy to hear you and your friend loved every flavor! Thank you for sharing your experience with The Signature Sampler. Hope to see you both again soon!
The candies are so good! Hubby was trying to take all of my bags before I left to go out of town, but I shared 3 of each flavor and put them in a Ziploc bag with a picture if the bags! Lol!
Bought the sampler pack. Dug in immediately with a cup of tea. Very good hard candy. Does not have an overly sweet or fake flavor. Mild flavor but definitely delicious! Just right. Can’t wait to try all 11 of the flavors in my pack.
Got the eleven flavors. I thought this is the best way to judge. I really like the honey bell orange, cinnamon,peach, guava and lime. But I love them all.
I love the flavors. I would love a greatfruit flavor.
I bought my mother the Sampler pack for Mother's Day. I also purchased a Sampler Pack for myself.
I immediately opened them and tried each one, it was fun and they were tasty! The Grape was my favorite, with cinnamon as a close second.
Also, I purchased the first Sampler and was immediately offered the second Sampler at 26.00, which I accepted. A great opportunity for both, business and consumer! They sold more and I got a better deal. Win-Win.
The sampler is the way to go but WOW, that Peach! Omg I could live off of that.
The perfect thing I need to keep my oral fixations satisfied-lol The flavors are great and last…less teaching for carbs. Not too sweet but with “real flavor” Thanks…my new diet regime!
The flavors did not disappoint! I have been searching for a cinnamon hard candy that didn't contain any artificial ingredients or dyes. Just enough hot and spicy. It's perfect.
Peach is my favorite. Key lime is good too.
I absolutely love all the flavors thanks for making a great
Candy
Love these candies! The flavors are fantastic and remind me of the old time candies at Grandma's house.
It's hard to describe the flavor of these candies other than "different". Not bad, just, different. I'm guessing that's because of the natural ingredients and lack of artificial sweetness and flavoring. I appreciate that! Grape candy is my absolute least favorite, but the Muscadine candies turned out to be my absolute favorite!
Lovely assortment I am saving for Christmas stockings !!
Very good!!!
My granny used to have your candies and I would sneak them anytime I could. They are still just as good as when I was a little.
Amazing, realistic flavor! The sampler box was a great introduction to the various flavors.
All the flavors are amazing
Absolutely love them!! Will be ordering again. Shared with family members. They are hooked. Thank you for your excellent product and service.
