Hot Weather Warning: If you are more than a two day ship from OH, I do not recommend you purchasing this item when temperatures exceed 71 degrees. Be certain you have someone available for your delivery so the candy does not sit in the hot sun. Melted candy can not be guaranteed. We do our best to protect your candy, but can not control what happens in heat in excess of 70 degrees.

The filberts (hazelnuts) are panned in copper kettles until the whole nut is encased in crystallized sugar, a time-consuming process that takes days, but one we're sure you'll find well worth the effort. Whether you prefer to let these sweet treats slowly melt in your mouth until you get to the filbert nut or simply bite right into them, you won't be able to resist them. 1lb. bag contains approx. 38 candies.

This candy arrives in our store in bulk quantities and is packed for your order when we receive the order. We package small quantities of this candy in cellophane bags that are heat-sealed. We then seal and bag again for product safety and include an ingredients label. Products are then boxed and shipped. Larger quantities are double bagged for safety and an ingredients label is included. It is then boxed and sealed for shipment. If you want candies bagged in one pound bags, you will have to tell us that as when we receive an order or five pounds, we ship it as such.

Our cream filberts are soft and fresh. If you want old hard crunchy candy, you'll have to set it out and let it age:-)

It costs the same to ship 1 pound as it does to ship 2 pounds, so order 2 pounds and share with a friend.

These are exactly the same as my dad's favorite candy. I first had them in the 1950's. I love them!

creme filberts

Posted by James on 29th Nov 2020

They're wonderful. I'm 73. Used to buy them as a child in Lafayette, In at a store called McCord Candies on main street. Store still there but not like it was 60 years ago. Every now and then, about once every couple of years , I or my older sister look up a place to buy some creme filberts. Just a little trip down memory lane. I share a couple of pounds when I buy them.

There is too much candy surrounding the nut. The candy I’m familiar with had much less candy coating. They need to be smaller .
