Satellite Wafers

Satellite Wafers

Satellite Wafers, also known as Flying Saucers, were created in Belgium in the 1950s by a communion wafer maker. Seeking to innovate, he combined two wafers and filled them with small sugar nonpareils, creating a candy that resembled a "satellite." The candy quickly gained popularity, tapping into the space-age excitement of the era. The unique texture and playful design have made Satellite Wafers a beloved treat for decades, celebrated as a classic retro candy in the U.S. and Europe.

The wafers are light, airy, and melt in the mouth, while the crunchy nonpareils inside provide a delightful contrast. The flavor is subtle, with hints of sweetness and a delicate fruity undertone, but the true appeal lies in the texture and novelty of the candy. Gerrit J. Verburg Company offers classic Satellite Wafers, sour-filled versions, and even Blue Raspberry with a tongue tattoo. These candies bring nostalgia and joy to every bite, making them a generational favorite.

Gerrit’s Satellite Wafers are available in multiple formats, including 240-count tubs, 1.23-ounce bags, and specialty sour varieties. Whether enjoyed as a nostalgic treat or introduced to new generations, Satellite Wafers capture the charm of retro confectionery. Their distinctive design, history, and playful appeal continue to make them a top choice for those seeking a unique and memorable candy experience.
