The classic peppermint candy cane is still our number one hard candy. When it comes to soft candy, the number one choice is our Mitchell Sweet, outselling candy canes and lollipops every year!

Milk chocolate and semi-sweet (dark) chocolate both contain chocolate in a bitter form called chocolate liquor. Note: There is no alcohol in this product. Milk chocolate includes milk as an ingredient, while semi-sweet chocolate does not include milk and has half the amount of sugar as milk chocolate. White chocolate contains no chocolate liquor and is not a chocolate product. It does contain cocoa butter, which gives it a chocolate flavor. The higher the cocoa butter content, the more yellow the appearance and the better the flavor. If the color is a strong white color it probably does not contain cocoa butter, just artificial flavoring.

Our candy coal has more dye added to it than any other candy we make. We use a blend of Blue 1 and a certified black shade, which is made of blue 1, yellow 5 and red 40. We add more dye to this product so that it looks exactly like real coal. Because we use water-soluble dyes in our candy, the dye dissolves in your mouth as well. Although it gives you an odd look, it is not harmful and will eventually fade.
