THE ESSENCE OF NEW ORLEANS

In the heart of New Orleans' historic French Quarter, the bright notes of lemon have long been essential to the city's culinary soul. Our Lemon Buds capture this vibrant tradition, delivering the perfect balance of zesty citrus and sweetness that has enlivened Creole cuisine for generations.

From the city's earliest days, New Orleans cooks used fresh lemon zest to brighten everything from seafood gumbo to delicate pastries. This same bright essence defines our candy – crafted by hand in the same careful way for over 100 years – bringing a taste of New Orleans' spirited flavor to every piece.

THE ARCHITECTURAL INSPIRATION

Our Lemon Buds package features a classic French Quarter townhouse, showcasing the distinctive architectural style that makes New Orleans instantly recognizable. Notice the ornate wrought iron balconies, tall windows, and graceful proportions that blend French, Spanish, and Caribbean influences into something uniquely New Orleans.

These historic homes, many dating to the 18th century, often featured hidden courtyards where citrus trees flourished, providing essential ingredients for the city's legendary cuisine. Like the buildings themselves, our recipe has stood the test of time, preserving traditions worth savoring.

A CENTURY OF CRAFTSMANSHIP

Since 1924, Butterfields has crafted our hard candies using time-honored techniques and the finest ingredients. Each batch of our Lemon Buds is carefully cooked, pulled, and shaped by hand – just as it was generations ago. The result is a candy with perfect texture, vibrant flavor, and a heritage you can taste.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Have enjoyed these for years!

I had my first Peach Buds about 14 years ago! A local restaurant was selling them and I've been hooked ever since. Having been raised near the Sandhills of N.C., I was no stranger to some of THE best peaches around. When I tasted this candy it was like being transported back to summertime peach season in the Sandhills!

Sharon Reynolds
Peachy Yummmmm!

I had never heard of Butterfields before, until an ad popped up in my social media feed recently. I'm such a candy person so of course I'm gonna give it a try! The Peach buds are very very good. I have them in a dish at my house and several other people really love them too! I bought key lime also, but haven't opened that bag yet. Can't wait to try those too.

Peach Bud Review

Delicious old fashioned candy. Like how the peach flavor lingers after it's gone. Just the right subtle hint of peach, not too sweet and very fruity.

Michael Ginster
Just the right size!!

Loved these. Nice size. If I ate something spicy and there was an aftertaste, these were perfect to get rid of the taste. Very good and not overpowering. Will order more!

Linda Herring
Definitely not disappointed! Delicious!

The watermelon buds are better than I imagined! They are so delicious and have a true watermelon flavor! So glad I tried them!

Angie Hayworth

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Candies Hard or Chewy?

Hard, we don’t recommend biting into them. It’s old-fashioned handmade hard candy, we have been making it the same way for 100 years.

How should I store the candy after it’s opened?

Humidity is the enemy. Keep Candy in an airtight container, and away from extreme temperatures.

Is your candy Gluten-free?

Yes! All our candy is Gluten-free.

Do you offer Sugar-free Candy?

Not currently, but we are in the process of developing it! Join our mailing list to be the first to know when it’s available.

Is your candy Vegan?

Yes!

Why is there coconut in all your candy?

We use coconut to grease the tables, so it doesn’t stick when folding the candy by hand and keeps our candy vegan.  There are also tiny pieces of coconut in the middle of the candy.  It’s a 100-year-old family recipe. Our candy does not have a strong coconut taste.

How much is shipping?

Orders over $45 ship free, all other orders are a flat rate of $9.99.  We are a small family business and hope to find better shipping options in the future.

How long does it take to ship?

We are a small family business and only ship Monday – Friday. We are based in Nashville, NC.  Shipping to the West Coast can take between 5-10 business days.  Shipping to Hawaii and Alaska can take at least 15 business days.

Why are the candies different sizes and colors?

We make all our candy by hand. Color, shape, and size can vary.
