 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.

Filbert nuts are patiently panned in copper kettles

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 were my mother's favorite candy as a girl and only once was I able to find them for her. A friend found your site and I was able to get them for myself. I enjoy each one and wish my mom could enjoy them, she would be so happy

    These 'mothballs' are the BEST! Takes me back to my childhood...they melt in your mouth, then burst with flavor of the filbert center. Hope you keep making them!

    Posted by MM on 5th Jan 2020

    When I was a kid, my mother used to buy us these. They were so unusual, and so minimal, yet so delicious! I'm not a huge candy fan, but the bag of this product that I ordered from Boyds Retro Candy was amazing! The balls were firm yet mouth-meltingly smooth and creamy. The product was extremely fresh, and it was delivered promptly. They really brought back wonderful childhood memories. If I could make one improvement, it would be that the filberts inside were crunchier. I read somewhere that in the making of these balls, the nuts are often parboiled. I think that the full hazelnut flavor would have come out more if the nuts were crisp. But the candy overall was fabulous, and I still give it 5 stars!
