Cherry Buds
Cherry Buds
Not too tart. And then; an almost floral finish you don't see coming.
Most cherry candy tastes like cough medicine or maraschino syrup. Ours is a different thing entirely. Our Cherry Bud are a more eastern variety, it starts with a clean, honest cherry flavor, not too tart, true to the fruit, balanced, unhurried. And then it does something unexpected. It finishes with an almost floral note, a softness that lifts the flavor somewhere you weren't expecting it to go.
That floral quality gives the Virginia Cherry a sophisticated, botanical feel, a distinctly natural, closer to what you'd find in an Eastern cherry orchard than in a candy aisle. It pairs beautifully with ginger and citrus, which is why customers who love our Cherry Buds often reach for our Ginger Buds and Lemon Buds as well.

What Our Customers Are Saying
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!
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.
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.
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!
The watermelon buds are better than I imagined! They are so delicious and have a true watermelon flavor! So glad I tried them!
I bought 2 bags of peach bud and a bag of watermelon bud. I took one of the peach bags to work and all my co-workers LOVE them! I'm so glad I ordered 2 of the peach they are delicious!! The watermelon is really good too!
