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.

I used to love these "moth balls" as a kid and I guess I still love them. Thanks.

Old-time “Mothballs”

Posted by Carol Rogers on 5th Jul 2020

These wonderful cream filberts were my favorites as a child. I was thrilled to find them at Boyd’s! This is a re-order for me because the first one was wonderful. I am 76 years old, so I started eating these candies a long time ago - and these are perfect. They certainly match my memory.

Prompt service from friendly, helpful staff. The order arrived very quickly and the cream filberts were just like my mom remembered them, soft and delicious. Thanks for pleasing a 94 year old! Would order from you again in a "heartbeat"!
