Cream Filberts Are Back! We Had Them Made Specially for You
For years you've asked us to reintroduce crystallized cream filberts
(also known as "Mothballs" or "Snowballs") into our Store and we
searched until we finally came across a small candy company in upstate
New York that was able to make these candies the old-fashioned way just
for us. 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 nut or simply bite right into them, you won't be
able to resist them. 1lb. bag contains approx. 55 candies.
Sorry! Our Creamed filberts have SOLD OUT for the season. We will have
more next year after Thanksgiving. Please call Vermont Country
Store-they have them.
Oddly enough, the only recipes I find appears to be talking about
something entirely different. A baked cookie , and not a cooked sugar
candy.
Interesting. I have never heard of them. Why not contact Sweenors and
see if they want to try an experiemental run/ batch? Or maybe that
fancy chef on the east side? Um... garrison? thats it.
Good luck.
Post by Thomas ReynoldsJust tried them at your suggestion and they do not sell moth balls.
Post by BrittDid you try "Yummies" in Kittery??
Post by Thomas ReynoldsCream Filberts, frequently called "moth balls" due to the way they look
also called snow balls by a few but the size is wrong. They are the size
and color of moth balls.

what are these?
Post by Thomas ReynoldsFinally found them at the Vermont Country Store. Way overpriced, but the
only current source in the world for this great old product. Better tasting
than the ones I used to buy at Watch Hill too.
