Citrus Buds - Mason Jar
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.

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 love this citrus flavored hard candies mason jar. lemon, orange, key lime, and grapefruit flavors. I have only picked out a few buds that I know for sure are grapefruit. What color is the grapefruit flavor? I love them. My jar is almost empty!
Very good assortment, but I prefer the other assortment mix. I love the jars gem arrive in. I reuse them for my other Butterfield’s candies.
Grateful tasting citrus flavors in all 4 candies in the mix. Very refreshing.
Absolutely wonderful mix of flavors and candies. They all were very delicious and it was very much worth the price.
Nice little jar to place on my desk. These candies are full of flavor!
Looks like a good quality jar of candy. Very pretty to display. I have not tried them yet, but the other two flavors Ive tried were delicious.
Wanted to again purchase the citrus mix, but it is sold out. Not a surprise. It's outstanding. ( I'll order the jar, but I have a candy jar, so it seems a little wasteful.) Anyway, the grapefruit is my absolute favorite of all the flavors. It's so unusual to find grapefruit flavored candy. Thank y'all for this little bit of joy! Would love to see it as a separate offering.
I bought this for a gift but I have single packs of the flavors included in this jar. What an awesome product!
I am yet to find a flavor of Butterfields candies that aren't amazing! I decided to try the citrus buds because I LOVE the lime buds and I really like the lemon buds as well. They did not disappoint! I really like the grapefruit flavored buds in the citrus buds mix!
Great way to try several flavors.
Suggestion:
You have records of customers past purchases. When you get a customer's order, check the past purchases, and put a few pieces (3-5) of a flavor they have not yet ordered as a sample to taste. The customer might like the new flavor and order it in the future.
Delicious
These are awesome, I am really enjoying the great flavors.
I keep it by my bed to use when I have a tickle in my throat. However, it has become my favorite candy so I never know where I will find the jar. I ordered your candy originally for the aesthetics as you had colors that matched my sons Pennsylvania wedding and I wanted as many products as we used to be from NC. I am very happy to say, it has created a love for me of the authentic flavors and joy it brings to your mouth.
Incidentally, the bride's mother works for Hershey and is in charge of the Jolly Rancher production team (she was moved just this past year from Kit Kat to the hard candies). She absolutely loved the sample packs I gave her from my first order and was able to explain how the candies were made and was very impressed with the flavors!
