Dryden & Palmer

Rock Candy has a long history in the U.S. The New England–based Dryden & Palmer Company has been crystallizing sugar into edible rocks since its business commenced in 1880. Both the old-fashioned, boxed crystals and the colored candy rocks on a stick are available. Sticks come in flavors like root beer, blueberry orange and sour pineapple. You can even buy shorter swizzle sticks to stir into your hot beverage. And their candy on a string looks as elegant as it tastes.
