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.

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.
Ingredients
Allergens
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.

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.

My new Favorite Buds.....Let me know when you do a straight apple flavor bud I will definitely order them as well....Best Regards Rob
This flavor is one of my favorites!! Kind of a spiced apple cider cinnamon drop of amazing goodness
Halloween treat. I ordered these for the girls at work. They are an apple cinnamon candy. Strong cinnamon taste. I was hoping it would’ve been apple with a hint of cinnamon but it was the other way. Not bad, but not for me.
I bought the sample bags last November to put in my family’s stockings. All 6 of us fell in loved them. Since then I have ordered at least 8 more orders.
I purchased two orders for the Spooky Buds. They are so delicious. A nice mixture if apples and cinnamon. Tastes just like fall.
I just bought my Christmas gifts for this year’s stockings. I also bought the Christmas special additions for my neighbor gifts.
Try them you will fall in love too!
These were surprisingly yummy. Perfect balance of cinnamon and apple.
Not for me! The taste was unpleasant.
These are the best candies! Tastes like I'm tasting the actual fruits! The Halloween edition was phenomenal with the apple cinnamon
I've waited a year for my Spooky Buds. wish they weren't seasonal! I ordered 5 bags! looked for something similar but other brands don't compare.
I wait all year because I love Spooky Buds! thank you.
these were not my favorites, and not to many of my friends liked them either, will stay with various fruits, and my favorite yhe holiday ones, plus the new sugar fee peach
It is a bit spicy for me, but my son likes it.
Gifted a bag of these to my friend who introduced me to your candy at her boutique. She said it's her new favorite flavor.
I liked them. I think the cinnamon is too hot.
This flavor is not a favorite of mine. It taste more like hot apple cider with a touch something else.
The flavor is pretty strong. This is the least favorite of flavors that I have tried.
We really enjoyed the taste of apples and cinnamon! Delish!
Excellent taste!
The best candy out there.
These were my favorite i need more
This flavor isn't my favorite. I really wish I could've sampled first instead of wasting my money on something I won't eat.
the candy was very tasty and cute colors for Halloween
Fun colours for Halloween! These special Halloween buds are a great flavour with a slight tang. Love tgem!
Fun addition for the Holiday!
Not turning out to be a fan favorite, but still good.
My kids love them, and I love your cinnamon candy way too much, all of your fruit flavors I can get at our Oliver's market, they just don't carry that one, so I will continue to order it, thank you~
A good Fall Flavor, or try just Sour Apple!
very good i wish the bags were bigger
These were good. They did not have a strong flavor but enough that you could taste.
The absolute very best hard candies. Worth every penny. Phenomenal real flavors not a imitation after taste. Made with love for sure.
Nice combination of cinnamon and apple. This is my new fall favorite.
Prefect for fall! I don't understand the hype around pumpkin flavors when you have delicious Apple cinnamon flavors like this??
Don’t like this particular flavor mix. Personal preference only.
So good !!
Like them, but it’s a much stronger cinnamon taste and very little apple flavor. Wish it was a bit more balanced.
