Peerless Candy - 1914 to 2007

Candy Direct, Inc. is proud to have carried genuine Peerless Candy, the high quality candy that was manufactured in Chicago, Illinois.  Unfortunate ly, the Peerless Company closed its door in 2007 and no longer makes the tasty candy we have grown to love.  Berries & Cream is the one remaining Peerless flavor in our inventory.

Fortunately, we searched high and low and found two great companies that are carrying on the great tradition of hard candies.

Primrose Candy makes Rods, Sour Balls and Starlite Mints in the Peerless tradition.  We stock the following flavors that we know you’ll find mouth-watering:

Rods Assorted

Sour Balls

Starlite Mints Assorted Flavors

Starlite Mints Peppermint

Starlite Mints Spearmint

Starlite Mints Sugar Free

Sugar Free Assorted Fruit Buttons

 

Atkinson’s Candy Co. was fortunate enough to be able to buy the actual molds from Peerless and has perfected the recipe to duplicate Sugar Free Buttons:

Sugar Free Butterscotch

Sugar Free Buttons Anise

Sugar Free Buttons Blueberry

Sugar Free Buttons Cinnamon

Sugar Free Buttons Coffee

Sugar Free Buttons Fruit Punch

Sugar Free Buttons Lemon

Sugar Free Buttons Key Lime

Sugar Free Buttons Rootbeer

Sugar Free Buttons Sour Green Apple

Sugar Free Buttons Watermelon

Sugar Free Sour Fruit Buttons Assorted

 

If these shapes and flavors don&'t hit the spot, there are many other fine candy companies whose products we carry.  Just go to our Home Page to Search using the name of your favorite hard candy flavor, like anise squares, assorted rods or blue peppermint cubes and rediscover the hard candies your have been missing.  Our Bulk Department stocks many additional varieties of hard candy favorites.  You’ll be pleased at what you find.
