Mango Buds - Limited Edition
Before you order
Butterfields Buds are traditional hard candy, not chewy candy. They are made to dissolve slowly, with fruit- and spice-forward flavors that are balanced rather than made to taste like dessert. Because each batch is handmade, the color, shape, and size may naturally vary.

You can still feel the fibers on it.
A ripe mango announces itself before you ever taste it, a heady, perfumed fragrance at the stem, a mix of honey and tropical blossom and something warm you can't quite name. Then you bite in. The flesh is velvety, overflowing with sweet juice, golden and deep. The sweetness is loaded. It is rich, nectar-like, but it never goes flat because there's a subtle tartness underneath holding everything in balance. And then a finish that is slightly floral, warm, and unlike any other fruit you've ever tasted.
That is what our Mango Bud captures. Like a loaded kiss. The tang, the sweetness, the tropics on your tongue, the fibers still on it. Not mango-flavored. Not mango-inspired. Mango - the way it tastes when you're pulling it apart with your hands and the juice is running and you don't care.
Close your eyes when you taste it. You'll swear you can feel the fruit in your hands.
What does Mango remind you of? We'd love to hear your story — write to us.
*Please note we coat the candy in powdered sugar, 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.
I discovered Butterfields when I was trying to find how I could purchase peach Jolly Ranchers (they were my favorite, but I couldn't find them anymore). FORTUNATELY, that took me to Butterfields site. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Butterfields peach candies. I share them with lots of people and they always end up asking how to get some. I just tried the mango and love it, too. And the watermelon and the cinnamon. All the flavors are fabulous, but the Peach, Mango, Watermelon, and Cinnamon are my favorite ones. OH, and I just tried the Spooky ones for Halloween and love them, too. As a suggestion for future flavors, Green Apple would be a good one. :)
Awesome flavor!
They are all so wonderful
Both the peach and the mango buds are delicious.
Mango buds are simply the best if you are looking for the exact taste of a sweet mango.
My favorite, thank you
Every flavor was amazing , I'm glad I got so many varieties so I could try them all
I bought 16 total packs of buds and regret not getting more. When I find something I love, I need everyone to know. I’ve been handing them out to friends, and they’ve been such a hit. Guess I’ll have to reorder soon.
Great flavor!
Amazing mango flavor, keeps me coming back for more.
Excellent flavor
These little nuggets taste just like fresh mango! Just let it dissolve on your toungue. The candy lasts a long time, but you will want another as soon as the first one has dissolved. Every flavor I have tried tastes like the real fruit.
Yummy
My brother loves these.
I got this as part of a sampler pack and absolutely fell in love with this flavor! So unexpected and incredibly flavorful!
These candies were so hyped, and I just don't find them special. Won't be buying again.
Delicious. My favorite out of all the flavors I have tried. Will purchase again.
Will be ordering the Mango Buds when available love the taste.
Love this candy.
Delicious. Got a bag from Petals and produce (our local fresh "market") and i liked them SO MUCH I had to get some more. These flavors are SO TRUE TO THE FRUIT!!! Y'ALL JUST NEED TO TRY THEM FOR YOURSELVES!!!
Yummy. Like eating a fresh mango. No funny aftertaste. I hope they keep this one forever.
Excellent flavor, unique and tasted like a mango as one would hope.
I love it. Addiction started. 💝
I bought a sampler package and 3 extra mango. I am super glad I ordered extra mango as this is my favorite flavor. Long lasting and great assortment of flavors to choose.
Delicious. A family favorite.
These have a distinct mango flavor and leave no aftertaste. Enjoyed them.
Refreshing taste, we enjoyed them.
I will be ordering them again with the Guava Buds.
We love those Guava Buds.
I had the peach buds a long time ago and decided to try the additional flavours offered, these mango buds are among my absolute favourites! They're robust in their flavour, as sweet and tart as you'd expect from a real mango, and the smell is just as delightful 😄 I'm looking forward to purchasing another few bags!
Mango is my favorite flavor so far. I bought a few packs on my second order. When I realized it was a limited edition I had to buy more. The flavor is sweet and smooth. It’s just a whole lot of happy. I have made my own hard candy during the holidays but I will buy Butterfield candies from now on. Mango is fantastic!!
Excellent tastes just like Mango!
Your products have me a changed man.... used to avoid hard candy because it tasted like, well you know,,,,,,, hard candy. I was looking for a treat for my favorite Swab at the US Coast Guard Academy basic this summer. Bought some and still needed a few dollars to reduce the shipping, so I bought some for myself. Now I'm hooked! YEA!
Butterfields might be known for its peach buds, but Mango is the #1 flavor by far! Delicious
